Extra Profile Fields Tab

[Wired1]

Don't forget to hit INSTALL (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=180329)!

This is an evolution of my Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123254) mod from 3.6.x.

If you have a pre-3.7.x version installed:
UNINSTALL the old product and reverse the edits. Don't forget to revert those templates :)

Awesome. Thanks! Finally got the other hacks reinstalled as well just a few minutes ago after a template goof up back in September. Everything works great!

[Wired1]

Schweet :)

[Subah]

Cool , thank you :)

[TCB]

Wow! Excellent. I used the built-in extra tab option, but then all information is also shown on the 'about me' tab (which makes the option somewhat weird). This extra tab mod is wonderful, thanks :D

Installed :)

Although I may be being thick here, nothing is showing up on the public profile page :$
Edit : Ignore me, I was looking at a user who hadn't filled the extra fields in.

Great Job

And a question ... Need your hacks two times
- Computerparts, just like your example
- Console, just like Xbox360, Playstation 3 and so on

Is there a way to use your hacks twice? (User-CP and Profile)

Thanks for your answer

[Jase2]

Thanks for this, Wired.

One question: I have a menu select drop down menu. Yes/no - yes to display system specs in postbit, and NO to not to display system specs in postbit. However, when it it selected to "NO" the system specs tab shows, just saying:

System Specs
NO

Where would I be able to edit to stop the system specs selection drop menu showing in the block_tab ?

[KHALIK]

Thanks Wired

Installed.

[shlomot]

Hello, as my former colleagues, I installed this MOD in order to avoid custom fields from showing both on a field-category tab and in the About-Me tab.

After installation, I couldn't find any vBulletin option for this MOD, nor any difference in how my profile page is showing.

Can you please expend your instructions for the thick and dummies:) Thanks.

=========================================

Sorry, all is well :)

Only now did I understand that this MOD converts the extra page in Extra Profile Fields Page mod into extra tab.

Thanks for this great mod.

[Chadi]

Wouldn't it make sense to combine your two mods into one since they're both supposed to work together?

[shlomot]

A must-have request:

vBulletin provides only two permission options for a field display: private or public, and no consideration to permissions is given in field-category setting.

One permission option is lacking and could only be found in vBadvanced Dynamics: viewable by friends (buddies).

One answer to this limitation was given to me here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=180220), but the truth is that your product is the natural container to manage such conditional: the ability to display the tab to myself and friends only.

Please consider adding this feature to your product. It will add great functionality and desirability to it.

Many thanks in advance.

[Wired1]

Khalik, ShlomoT: You're welcome!


Ignore me, I was looking at a user who hadn't filled the extra fields in.LOL, been there, done that! I just always look at my own profile now :)


Is there a way to use your hacks twice? (User-CP and Profile)Gotta manually hack it a bit, I'll throw something together this weekend.


Where would I be able to edit to stop the system specs selection drop menu showing in the block_tab ?I'll look into it, I think I already know how to do it. Ultimately, ideas like this and some others I have lend themselves to doing an adminCP page for the mods, so that's another project on the horizon, just gotta figure out HOW to make an easy to install AdminCP page. I'd want to make a side menu for all the Products, but ultimately I think it may just be a dropdown in the main vB options.


Wouldn't it make sense to combine your two mods into one since they're both supposed to work together?I was thinking of doing that, but some people don't use the info publicly, or just don't have a need for this mod at all, so this way they don't need to add on extra code to their vB.

[Jase2]

Ok, wired -- thanks!

You can see the tab here (http://www.techsupportteam.org/forum/members/jason/). Basically, I just want to remove: System Specs YES -- which is at the top. Hmmm....

[Wired1]

Ok, here's what you'd have to do. Create a new Profile Category in the AdminCP. Assign the profile field that category. NOTE the Category ID!

EDIT plugin: Extra Profile Fields Tab

FIND:
WHERE pf.form = 6

REPLACE WITH:
WHERE pf.form = 6 AND pf.profilefieldcategoryid != <INSERT CATEGORY ID # HERE>

It'll then pull up all EPFP fields that are NOT in that category.

[Deepdog009]

Good Deal Wired1
Its good 2 see many folks working on tabs these days... Excellent


Keep the ball ROLLING!!! :up:

[Jase2]

That produces a database error. I just want to remove the Single-Selection Menu. :)

[Wired1]

Deepdog009: Thanks!

That produces a database error. I just want to remove the Single-Selection Menu. :)Don't use the <>, example:

[Jase2]

I forgot to add the category id, I was using the profile field LOL. Thanks for that, Wired -- works great!

[Wired1]

Cool beans!

[Brandon Sheley]

great idea, nice hack :)

[shlomot]

Would appropriate payment for your time and expertise move things faster :)

Good idea, I'll see what I can do!

[Wired1]

LOL always, but right now I've been working on a bug w/ another mod, so sleep first :)

[odeezie]

Probably a dumb question, but how do I just change the name of the tab from "Extra Options". I am using this on a Motocross forum and would like it to say "Bike Specs"

Do I just search in phrases and change extra_options?

Edit: I just saw this in the dropdown thread "To edit the title:

Go to AdminCP -> Languages & Phrases -> Search in Phrases. Search for the phrase's title: [dropdown_title] (no brackets). Edit and save!"

Will that work for this one too?

how do i move the tab to after the about me tab?

[Wired1]

Edit the Extra Profile Fields Tab plugin.

FIND and REPLACE:

with
profile_left_first

[ComputerVitals]

Thanks for the tip on removing the field from the tab. I added urls to the specs and used this to remove the link in the tab as well..

Superb job!!

[neologan]

what would be the best way to revamp the styling for the fields? i mean for all the pc specs on the tab, how can i style this with my own html?

[Wired1]

what would be the best way to revamp the styling for the fields? i mean for all the pc specs on the tab, how can i style this with my own html?Damned if I know :) The mod's pretty much a schmorgasboard of code from my previous mods + this tutorial (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=165554) on how to make a tab.

Put it this way: Any code that works on the About Me Tab's profile fields should automatically work on this tab, and if it doesn't, it should only take a modification or two to get it to work here.

There's 3 points where it intersects with templates:

In the Plugin: Extra Profile Fields Tab

if ($profilefield['value'] != '')
{
$show['extrainfo'] = true;
eval('$category[\'fields\'] .= "' . fetch_template('memberinfo_profilefield') . '";');
}
}

if ($category['fields'])
{
eval('$profilefields .= "' . fetch_template('memberinfo_profilefield_category') . '";');
}

and then of course there's the TEMPLATE: memberinfo_block_EPFP_tab.

[odeezie]

I dont have the knowledge of this stuff so this may be completely absurd, but is there a way to put a small picture on the Extra Profile Tab?

I am using this mod on a Motocross forum and just got it going today and it is very well liked. The only thing I have had a few people ask for is if they could put a picture of their bike in there as well. Similar to how the About Me tab has their signature picture.

Is this possible to do?

Is this possible to do?Since it's done in another tab, it's definitely possible, looking at different ways to do it. Where would you be storing this picture though?

[Jase2]

Anyway to stop this using any queries, or at least cut down on one?

[odeezie]

I have no idea where I could store it. I guess anywhere would work, similar to the profile or signature picture. Or maybe have it hosted on photobucket or something like that and let them link to the offsite picture. I really dont know how that would work. I think it would be cool if you could go to the usercp "edit extra options" and put it in there at the bottom of the specs list.

Let me know if I can be of any help. I dont know much about code, so if I cant I will be sure to throw some $ your way. :up:

[Jase2]

Ummm, how would I make each category title bold in the tab? For example: CPU bold, Hard Drive bold ect ect.

[neologan]

it would be cool to be able to hook some album pics to the tab, but that sounds like a lo of work.

[Wired1]

Anyway to stop this using any queries, or at least cut down on one?? It only has ONE query, and it's necessary for now.

The album is what I was thinking of, but I haven't looked at the album code yet.


Ummm, how would I make each category title bold in the tab? For example: CPU bold, Hard Drive bold ect ect.You mean the Profile Field titles, not categories. I'm just using the standard memberinfo_profilefield template for them, just like the About Me tab uses.

[Jase2]

Ok, no worries. Well, I did some testing and this seems to use two queries. Not a big deal, though I guess.

[Wired1]

How did you test this?

[Jase2]

I enabled debug mode from my ACP (using my hack) and went to the members profile page. It hit 24 queries (I think). I then went and disabled this product and returned to the members profile page - this time it hit only 22 queries.

[Chadi]

Can you please explain how to get the tab to show up static regardless if the fields have not been filled in by the member yet? Thank you

[Chadi]

I mean the tab and fields. Basically, if the fields are not filled in it shows "n/a" by default which is fine. However, the tab is missing until then and basically no one knows it exists.

Your forum requires registration, so no-one can see the above member profiles without being registered.

[Chadi]

See attached screenshot

[Wired1]

Figured it out. Shows N/A if you can edit it, but to all others, nothing shows up. Do this:

FIND
if ($show['profilefield_edit'] AND $profilefield['value'] == '')

REPLACE WITH
if ($profilefield['value'] == '')

[Chadi]

Perfect, that worked. Thank you.

[Jase2]

Hi Wired,

If a user hasn't filled in any of the system specs field, then the tab still shows with N/A -- anyway to stop it showing if they don't fill in at least one system spec field? That way, you save on queries. :)

It shouldn't show the tab unless you've made the manual edits someone else asked for. Either way, it won't stop the query.

Gotta manually hack it a bit, I'll throw something together this weekend.

I'll second this! I know this would be great for a lot of forums out there.

For instance...car forums...or our forums...

One for CarPC specs, one for audio specs, and one for vehicle specs....

Hmm, so no way to stop this:

[mr clean]

I'll second this! I know this would be great for a lot of forums out there.It would absolutely make things better for some forums. More intuitive with the User CP from a users standpoint for sure. The way the built-in tabbing and category system shows profile fields in the 'About Me' tab even when they have their own tab or block is rather silly. I just don't see the point in it.

This is a very useful mod, Wired. Thank you.

Does anyone want a future version of this to have a mini block w/ the same data?Yes. It would be great.

Is there a way to link to the specific tab this mod creates? I would like to be able to link to it from a thread. Right now, I just link to the profile and the first tab shows opened. I want to be able to link to the content in the different tabs.

Is this possible? If so, what is the tab's URL ?

Well, I figured out how to link to the other tabs (friends, stats, contactinfo, etc) but cannot find a way to link the tab this modification creats. It appears to be 'EPFP_tab" but that does not work. Anyone have any idea? It is a bummer to not be able to link to the content on this specific tab.

Thanks for your help!

I made the tab from a tutorial here on vB.org, and there's no mention on how to do it there. I checked the HTML, and it all looks the same, so I don't know why it's not working. What's the link that works for the other tabs?

BTW, if you're just trying to get profile info in posts, check out my Dropdown mod.

The link for the other tabs are as follows:

For About Me: ?tab=aboutme
For Contacts: ?tab=contact
For Friends: ?tab=friends
For Statistics: ?tab=stats


I used firefox web browser and the Firebug Addon to inspect the links since they are basically hidden because the ajax changes the tabs but doesn't reload the page.

I see that the link for your mod's tab is supposed to be
?tab=EPFP_tab
But it will not work for some reason. It always loads the regular profile page.

I am using the link in the drop down of the profile. It was an easy template edit to put it in, but I still need to get the correct url to display the custom tab.

Thanks for any assistance you can offer. And again - excellent modification!

Thanks,

Ah, I typed in a ? before it instad of an &.

I think I know how to fix it, I'll do some testing.

[neologan]

my apologies if this is already discussed, but i was wondering if this could handle multiple tabs? i use this for system specs, but had the idea of another tab with extra details for console user names and all that stuff.

I'd also really like a way to edit each fields look, with images etc. At the moment you are using some nice code, but it makes it hard to edit. I'm quite happy to just throw some less advanced code to get the fields to show up in the template, and then edit them all with images etc, and use the <if> to make them not disply if it's not filled in etc.

I love this mod, but i really think it needs these sort of options in there so it can be customised more.

any thoughts on ways to do this?

[neologan]

i added a custom User Profile Field and wanted it to be second inline, but it's pushing in front of the system specs plugin. I assume it's using the same hook here, so how to i get the pc specs tab to display in front of it.

Alphabetical in order maybe? Either way, it's a question more for the modding community and/or Jelsoft, so you may want to start a new thread concerning the order of tabs via plugins.

I noticed that the text "extra_options" shows up in both the admincp/profilefield.php

at
"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[other]",
"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[extra_options]"

and in the .xml at:
'class' => 'EPFP_tab',
'title' => $vbphrase['extra_options'],

So do I change the text in both places? I tried opening the .xml file but it does not open.

[Wired1]

No, you are not supposed to edit random code. Read the vB manual on how to edit phrases. It is part of the AdminCP.

Nada. Can't get it to work at all. Looked into the code a bit. Because they're AJAX tools, I think there needs to be java references to the individual tabs somewhere within their scripts.

Hi Wired,

When I turn on vBulletin Debug mode....25 queries are executed on a members profile page...in bold red. Then, memberinfo_block_EPFP_tab is highlighted in bold red. Anything to be concerned of?

[Dinatius]

Very awesome. I haven't poked 3.7 much, but a couple questions:
1. How would I get rid of another tab? such as Contact Info... I don't want the arrow for an extra tab.
2. There seem to be breaks between Profile Field Categories. Is that intentional? Is there any way I could actually put in a <hr> or something?
3. I'm currently using 2 of the Profile Field hack because fields get so spaced out, but on the Profile Tab they display much more cleanly - any way I can get both pages of extra_options and extra_options1 to show up on the same profile tab?
4. and last, I know I asked this on another thread (maybe the 3.6.x one) - is there any way to get 2 profile fields to show next to each other? i.e. two columns of profile fields? I know it's not doable in the userCP, but how about in the Tabbed Profile?

Anyways, like you said - not everyone uses these two mods together. The profile field page mod is a good way to get data in and tie it to a user, but I did a custom search page to let people search on several of the custom profile fields - I was hardly using the profile display previously. I'm looking at writing a much more extensive search at some point.

And since you asked at some point - I'm using this to keep track of character info for a guild I'm a webmaster for.

2. There seem to be breaks between Profile Field Categories. Is that intentional? Is there any way I could actually put in a <hr> or something?It has not been tested with Categories, as it's sort of its own category.


3. I'm currently using 2 of the Profile Field hack because fields get so spaced out, but on the Profile Tab they display much more cleanly - any way I can get both pages of extra_options and extra_options1 to show up on the same profile tab?

What can I do now?As it states at the top of this thread, this is an ADDON for another product, and as such, REQUIRES that product to be installed first.

[Jase2]

Thanks..!

Wired, this doesn't pass xhtml validation -- could you update this modfication to be xhtml compliant?

Is it possible to post pictures in the new tab?

I want a tab in every user profile, in which I can post small pictures. These pictures are actually rewards for winning Sig of the Week competitions and whatnot. Is this possible?

If so, is it possible to center each image into a cell of a table?

Hi Wired,

I used the epfp just from the start of the vB 3.5 hack and always liked it.

To be exact I use it twice in our forum ( if you want to habe a look: http://www.planet3dnow.de/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=343982).

I just added a _first or first to all variables and plugin names, changed the template name and the $profilefield['form'] data.

But now i run into a problem with the extra profile fields tab.

Changed all the variables in the product (see attachment), but always the first epfp tab is overwritten by the new product.

[Wired1]

Missed a spot :)

Search "EPFP_tab" in that file and you'll see one you still need to change to EPFP_tab_first.

Got it working with two tabs now, thanks.

I have a problem!

Installed. Working perfectly as described. However - the extra profile fields will not show up on the members list, nor will they show up on the advanced members search. Is there some way to fix this? I don't want to have to move all the profile fields into the Edit Your Details section.

[RedGTiVR6]

search the thread as this has been covered. It's a small change - adding a 0 basically.

[moonclamp]

Is there any way to make the "extra fields" tab look the same as the "about me" tab?

To clarify; at the moment the value is slightly inset in the "extra info" tab, but in the "about me" tab the value is directly below the field name.


Also, how would I add a bold title to the top of the tab like "about me" and "signature"

I'm sure these are just template changes, but I can't find what bits I need to change.

Thank you :)

[christian8a]

Hey wired, awesome product, im using it and works perfect!

One question, where do I change the CSS for the new tab? Like to set the margins you usually can on the about me block?

[Wired1]

moon: sorry I didn't see the post earlier. It's already bold for me when the tab is selected. It's just calling vB's templates / code.

moon / christian: For CSS changes... you've got me :) It's all standard code, but I've never messed w/ the vB settings for CSS. Heck, I can't remember where they are in the AdminCP ATM :) You can always change the template calls in the plugins, and make your own template / CSS changes however.

[transparent]

What an awesome hack when added with your other goodies!

Anyone know how I can change the order of the new tab this creates? So instead of it displaying in 6th position by default I can change it to 3rd?

[Wired1]

Custom tabs can either be set to come BEFORE the standard tabs, or AFTER, but not inbetween. Post on vb.com to request that.

[GHC Webmaster]

Hello Wired1,

Is there a version for product-wired1_epfp_2.xml available as well? Is saw the extratab1 Pipin attached, but don't know whether these two combine.

If not could you explain to me what to edit in the normal extratab product (a duplicate I mean) to get it working with the second extra profile fields page?

I would also like the second tab to be in first position (before visitor messages). What should I do for that? Just change the hook location?

Thanks very much in advance!

Regards,

Walrick

[GHC Webmaster]

Ok, I figured it out myself. I edited Pipins Extratab1 in such a way that it does what I want (including fixing his original mistake). I also got it to show in the first tab. And renamed some things to _2 instead of _first. It's the second extra tab after all, not the first. Also the product name itself to comply more with the second profile fields page product.

If anyone is interested, I attached the product to this post.

For those looking for the extra profile fields page product to go with this:

How can I change the tab title Extra Options to something else?

I looked up the phrase $vbphrase['extra_options'] and got No Phrases Matched Your Query, am I missing something?

[Wired1]

Search for "extra_options", not the actual variable name.

[JIK1987]

I had already tried that too and got No Phrases Matched Your Query.

Um, okay...after typing in extra_options several times going back, retyping it...it decided to work. Weird...

3.8.x version released:

Hi,

I installed the profile page 2 also. But now i have just one extra tab. How can i get a second tab (sorry im no coder :erm:)

[Wired1]

Wrong thread.

[Cees]

where should i asked it? Im standing on the extra tab?:confused:

[Wired1]

You are using 3.8.x, therefore the 3.8.x thread is where you should be posting. Also, no 2nd tab mod has been made yet.

Is there any way I can alter so only admins can fill in the options, reason being is I would like to add a membership number there which can not be changed by the user

Thanks

That's completely outside the scope of this mod. That has to deal with the profile fields and not this mod.

[yotsume]

Install both your extra options and this profile tab mod. VERY AWESOME!

QUESTION:
Now can you please post clear instruction on how to reorder the profile tabs. I want this new tab to site right next to the default About Me tab.

THANKS!

I can help you a bit with that. The problem with this is that the plugin uses template hooks, and to do what you want, you would need to move one of those hooks in the MEMBERINFO template.

Look in that template for something like:

<div id="profile_tabs">
$template_hook[profile_left_first]
$blocks[visitor_messaging]
$blocks[aboutme]
$blocks[stats]
$blocks[friends]
$blocks[infractions]
$blocks[contactinfo]
$template_hook[profile_left_last]
</div>And then move the line with "$template_hook[profile_left_last]" up till it's between "about me" and "stats". That should do what your want. (Assuming your extra tab is on the far right at the moment.)

Walrick

Addition: be aware that this moves other tabs by addons which use the same hook as well. (The Blog tab for example.) Is this happens you can change the hook which extra tab uses in this plugin to "profile_left_first" and move that hook in the template instead of the hook I mentioned above.

I knew about this already. Yes I have blogs, experience, recipes, etc mods all using the damn right hook punch junk way to make a tab! So because multiple coders went the easy right hook punch way to rig their tabs we cant easily reoder tabs. What a waste of time on our end. So I will have to recode a number of mods so they use their own hook and can be reordered at anytime. Personally this is the way they should all be coded in the first place.

So now where or where do I change this to use the left hook punch code???

Better yet here is the plugin:

$blocklist = array_merge($blocklist, array(
'EPFP_tab' => array(
'class' => 'EPFP_tab',
'title' => $vbphrase['extra_options'],
'hook_location' => 'profile_left_last',
'options' => array(
'simple' => $vbulletin->GPC['simple'],
),
)
));How do I make it so I can have it located in its own hook by altering the red code??? This needs to be standard for this mod as an update asap please! :) So to be clear here the real question that I need answered is how to make my own hook to call this tab to where I want it so it can be in the standard list on its own? I guess its time to learn how to make my own custom hooks....

[GHC Webmaster]

Is profile_left_first in use already on your site as well? If not you could use that.

Otherwise I'd suggest googling for "vbulletin adding hooks" or something similar. I found some results already.

[Wired1]

Where did you think I started first in hunting! LOL I will quote for you word for word!

"VB can not and will not support any modification to the core code of VB go look on vborg."There's a difference between them supporting modification of the code and asking for more hook locations / forum features. They've added many hooks and features with version changes in the past, so they're definitely open to suggestions.


I suggest you change your mod to use a more diverse way to manipulate the profile tab. :DNo. I will not complicate this mod to make up for a perceived limitation of the tab functionality within the profile. If someone wants to make a mod that allows admins / users to easily reorganize tabs that's fine by me, but it's well outside the scope of this mod.


Thanks for a great mod! Now we need my question answered of how to get the fields which are moved to your mods extra page searchable again??? How can I do that? When fields are moved they loose their ability to be searched. Any solutions?I have already answered that question when you asked it in the main modification's thread. Also, if you're using vB 3.8.x, it's noted at the top of the modification for that version how to have the fields searchable.

In my view the solution you removed could be very useful to the users of this modification. Now every user who needs something similar has to search for a solution elsewhere and find out for themselves how to implement that for this mod.

Not a helpful moderation. Luckily I still got the notification of new post email with the full solution in it.

I spent the whole night around the clock doing the research on how to achieve tab manipulation via custom hooks. It has a big impact on this mod and to have it moved without a warning or notification was a bit rude actually. It was only after I reposted it again because I though I was going mad in the head when I woke up to see my post and tutorial had gone missing with ZERO communication.

Anyway now that my post was moved and made into an article... I am stuck rewording the whole thing since it is now all out of context! I might get around to fixing it sometime... I had planned on talking more to PaulM to make sure my research and findings were all accurate for a larger article I was going to write in the first place.

It is important for this mod and other mods which use the left hook to know that there is actually no reason why we have to use those hooks since it is actually so easy to add hooks as it turns out.

Anyway back on topic... ;)

Yes I concluded that from yotsume's last post. But that wasn't clear from your previous one. Looked like you had deleted it. If you had posted a link in that post, it would have been more clear.

But all is ok now. :-)
