Subject: Data.pm Not Parsing Out Some Values on Profile Pages
Not a huge deal, but I figured you'd want to know... I wrote a little script to update all my friend information in the database and have noticed that the following fields are never populated: birthdate, member_since (Band only anyway, I believe), last_login (also first_name snf last_name but I figure those are place holders since I don't think I've ever seen anyone provide that data on their profile...) I'll take a closer look at the cache_friends sub and see if I can figure out what's going on--since it's likely just a page format modification that isn't meeting parsing criteria--and see if I can't determine what the issue is...

Now, I was convinced I'm the only person using this module. I was wrong. :) Hmmm... here's the deal: birthdate: we need to write a method to go through the birthday section and update the birthday section. That info isn't necessarily going to be on a profile page, so it doesn't get updated by cache_friend member_since -- the layout may have changed on that. i'll try to update that in the next release. but i see it in some recent entries. can you send me a friend_id number that doesn't cache the member_since so I can check it out? last_login works for me. can you send me the code you're using that isn't caching it?

Some of those fields are placeholders right now. I was using a db design that Grant had put together and first_name and last_name are meant for you to be able to customize your data manually for friends that you know etc. Show quoted text

Yeah, let me know and also do send me a code sample. I'd be interested to see how you're using it. Best, Olaf
