I went to user accounts in Admin and then clicked on Manage Profile Properties. Then clicked Add New Profile Property and set up a new property named FavoriteFilms, data type: rich text, Category: favorites. I gave the property name on the manage localization page Favorite Film, and a category name of favorites.
I then logged in as a normal user and clicked on the user name supplied by the [REGISTER] token. It took me to the profile page showing my name and email address, etc. I then clicked on Manage Profile. The category FavoriteFilm came up with a rich text box. I typed in something and clicked on update. The change did not take. When I went back in to check it, the rich text box was empty.
Later, I checked the required box for the biography on the profile list. The next time I logged in (as any user), the required registration page came up (once) and I filled in the biography and the favorite film. It did save what I wrote once, and I am able to pull up that data. But, I when I go back in to change what I wrote – it will not update.
Just so you know, I'm trying to add several profile items to be used in conjunction with the Smart-Thinker profile module.
Thank you
