Hi there,
I have created three profile types on my site:
-Guest,
-Basic,
-Premium,
1. Guests Profile is quite simple because only 4 required fields user must fill in to register. This Profile does not need a profile completeness because guests only use this registration model to have a quick access and should switch to another profile once they decide to stay.
2. Basic Registration does include what we know from regular registration after EasySocial is installed.
3. Premium Registration includes all basic information like banner, profile avatar and so on, but also includes many fields for example social links, book suggestions and so on.
Anyways, Profile 2 and 3, need profile completeness to show the appropriate percentage to force people for banner and avatar upload. Also, other useful information like gender, birth and custom fields should be entered which of course people understand of a low-profile percentage value.
What I try to achieve
Now it seems I have a situation that profile completeness show for new registrations - Profile completed 100%. This of course is not ride. Assume new user does not upload Avatar and Banner, Gender, Birth and Address it would mean profile is only approx. 40 % done.
You see I need to force people to upload their pictures and fill out useful information which makes the network more fun to others. In profiles settings on my site only a view fields required. Although let´s say a guest registers in 20 seconds because of only 4 entry’s the should be forced to switch profile to let´s say at least a profile with a banner and avatar.
Many people hate registration forms and don´t want to fill them out. Once I can inspire them, they may switch to another profile and upload more useful information. For that profile completeness should help them to do so.
