Extra Profile Fields Page

[Wired1]

This is the 3.5.x version of Zachery (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=18025)'s hack by the same name. (linkage (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=59618))


3.6.0 version: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123253


This hack will add an extra page to the User CP. This area can be used for extra profile fields that for one reason or another you would like to split from the main list.

Personally, I use this page for PC specs, but it can also be used for other specs as well (e.g. cars). I have the specs in a dropdown list under the user title in each user's post, as well as in their profile page, but that's another hack :) You can see my 3.0.x hack for that here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=82040), and the 3.5.x hack for it here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98753).

Here's some examples of how I use this hack (with the Add-On hack, Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98753)):
http://www.houseofhelp.com/v2/showthread.php?t=39826
http://www.houseofhelp.com/v2/member.php?u=15

NOTE: The above 2 links show the results of another hack I did that's based upon this one. In otherwords, this hack doesn't add dropdowns in posts, and doesn't hack the member page to display the extra options in a new area. For that, install the Add-On hack, Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98753).

# of plugin hooks: 1
# of php page edits: 3 (or 4)
# of new templates: 1
# of template edits: 1
# of new phrases: 2

The "successfully saved" and extra option search are not tested, but they should both work.

Don't forget to hit INSTALL! (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=98282).

great, exactly what i need :)

seems there are some things missing: $vbphrase[edit_system_specs] at
least.

Edit: must be: $vbphrase[edit_extra_options]

profile.php?do=extra doesnt list the extra fields

[DivisionByZero]

hack works, other than the fact that vB seems to have a real nasty time saving a new template with the name "extra". Other than that, some template cleanups "system specs"?? and its all set.

Thanks a bunch!

[Wired1]

Bah, I thought I may have missed something. I'll fix it in a couple of min. Going to put new template name back to page, and fix the vB phrases.

Ok, fixed. Sorry about that, I was sort of reverse engineering it from what I did to my site.

great. works better now, but still lacks the extra options in the profil view (as shown here: http://www.houseofhelp.com/v2/member.php?u=15)

[gael11]

I have installed but I don't see the link "edit system spec".
I didn't understant this in the installation file:

Add New Phrase

// This adds the label of the edit button in the User CP

Varname = edit_extra_options
Text = Edit Extra Options

// This adds the label for the extra options page within the profile
Varname = extra_options
Text = Extra Options

is it important ?

OOPS I'm tired, that's right.
But the true problem is when I click on my "edit extra options" button, I have a white page like this :(

i run into the same problem, but doing the whole install with the new template called "page" instead of "extra" worked for me.

Yes , in fact my new template was called "Page", I have modified for "page" and I get that now:

You add the profile fields just like it has in the manual.

AdminCP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field -> (select Profile Field Type) ->

Where it says "Display Page" (at the bottom), it asks "Which page displays this option?" Select Options: Extra Options, or Options: ($vbphrase[extra_options])

As for the page being blank, that is normal. Once you add new profile fields into the above area (or edit an existing one and move it there), it should show up.

Try it with one of the default profile fields (just remember to move it back later so as not to confuse your member base).

[gael11]

Thanks it works now.
But is it possible to screen this fields on user profile like this for example:

I'll try to do the 3.5.0 version of my profile hack this weekend. Most of the code didn't change, except for some PHP code being slightly changed, and moved into a hook.

Setting up the AdminCP stuff for both hacks will be the next big hurdle.

pipin just asked the same thing.

Ramsesx: Sorry, missed your post. It's just a modification of how profile fields are presented and edited, but their properties haven't changed, In otherwords, I didn't hack that part. I have been thinking about that, unfortunately I can see lots of ways to abuse it, so I'm not going to hack profile permissions just yet. Search the forums though, maybe someone else already did.

[gael11]

Ok big thanks for your answers. I haven't understand.

[Ted S]

Great addon... thanks for getting this out! I just wish this could be done without code hacks... hah!

If you're having trouble showing the custom fields on user's profiles try doing this as well:

in member.php find


$profilefields = $db->query_read("
SELECT profilefieldid, required, title, type, data, def, height
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield
WHERE form = 0 " . iif(!($permissions['genericpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_genericpermissions['canseehiddencustomfields']), "
AND hidden = 0") . "
ORDER BY displayorder
");


and change it to


$profilefields = $db->query_read("
SELECT profilefieldid, required, title, type, data, def, height
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield
WHERE form = 0 or form = 6 " . iif(!($permissions['genericpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_genericpermissions['canseehiddencustomfields']), " /* hacked for extra profile page --> dive info */
AND hidden = 0") . "
ORDER BY displayorder
");


Where 6 is the value of this particular profile page.

[Wired1]

Update: didn't get a chance to work on update of other hack this weekend, mondo busy @ work. I'm gonna like that next paycheck though :)

Hi!
i am very interested in your modification!

i am runnning a software testing forum at www.elite-squad.net. Its about the free HTPC software Media Portal (http://mediaportal.sourceforge.net).

Our members are reporting bugs in the forum, therefor they have to use a system specification template in their posts. they have to post it every time when they start a new bugreport. thats realy borthering me as admin.

::example Bug Report:: (http://mediaportal.elite-squad.net/forum/showthread.php?t=183)

it would be realy realy great if you could change your mod a bit to fit your needs.

adding the system specs in the usercp is great!
when posting a reply or starting a new thread a option to add the system specs would realy help us! but it has to be added as text of the message! if the systemspecification would change after i have posted a bugreport the information would get useless.

Or would it be possible that this user specific hardware setup appears automatically when starting a new topic in a specific forum?

This is the template we are using.

Windows Version: your windows version incl. service packs
CPU Type: manufacturer and speed
Memory: amount and type
Motherboard Chipset: manufacturer and model
Video Card: manufacturer and model
Video Card Driver: driver version you used for testing
Video Render Type: VMR9 or Overlay
Video Codec Type & Version: video codec you used for testing
Audio Codec Type & Version: audio codec you used for testing
TV Card: type of TV card, manufacturer and model
TV Card Type: software / hardware / DVB
TV Card Driver: driver version you used for testing
Satelite/CableTV Provider: i.e. Astra 19.2?E

thats a great idea, we are running a hardware forum and are considering similar things for a minireview forum, where users can post their reviews about hardware and it would be nice if their whole system would be included in their posting.

and for hardware or software help forums it would be nice too as an option to include system spec at top of the postings. :classic:

Pretty sure it's doable. A conditional trigger could flip the postbit area where you make posts from a blank one to one with the PC specs (as of that posting).

The PC specs @ top of posting is already done (the vB 3.0.x hack works fine in 3.5.0). I'll flip out a new hack (double checking code mainly, improvements later) ASAP. Coding ain't #1 on my list after working 10 hours in a day! ATM it looks like my work schedule will be back to normal on Thurs I think. I'm going to try to take a look at the code at least tonight.

2.0.2
Nothing to worry about, just removed some code from the instructions that's for my other hack! Here's the snippet I removed:

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

To create the new hook:


Open /includes/xml/hooks_vbulletin.xml

FIND:

<hook>member_complete</hook>

AFTER IT ADD:

<hook>member_extras</hook>


This creates a new hook location:

Hook Location: vBulletin: Member's Profile -> member_extras (see? I told you it would create a new hook!)


Now, we have to place it in the file.

Open member.php

FIND:

// END CUSTOM PROFILE FIELDS
// *************************

AFTER IT ADD:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('member_extras')) ? eval($hook) : false;

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

[Wired1]

Screw looking at code, I finished the other hack:

Simplifying the extra fields entry form in the back end is my next goal, and then multiple pages after that. Of course, my other hack will be similarly upgraded to deal with these changes.

Hello!
This change of the php files, must this be?
Is it not to be done possibly this about a Plugin or product without changing the PHPs?

Nope. There are no plugin locations near this area, and to place an articifial hook at the same locations would defeat the purpose, as they are 1 line hacks.

Ok, I really tried everything, and it just doesn't seem to work...

I really went through all the steps 3 times each but it just doesn't work...

First of all, when you go to your User CP, it comes out blank.

Second, when I enter ..../profile.php?do=extra in my firefox, I can see the fields that I got matched, I enter something and it doesn't show me the Redirect thing you said it would...

Third, I cannot see anything changed in my profile.

Can you please tell me what is wrong?

Redirect's bugged, damned if I know why, still tracking it down.

For me, installing this was like pulling teeth. It took me a while to figure out what importing the XML file did and didn't do.

That said, I am new to vbulletin (even though I did buy a year lease a couple years ago). This is much easier than any of the hacks I installed back then...

It works great though! I needed this badly for the site I am building. It makes those important custom fields allot easier to find.

Yep.

AdminCP -> User Profie Fields -> User Profile Field Manager -> Edit the field. There's an option there that says: Field Required.

I have the extra specs set to No, but show at registration. It's used a lot, which has helped out a lot. Make a sticky on how to get to the new area, and how to add info to it.

I've got a Replacement Variable (under Admin CP -> Styles and Templates -> Replacement Variable Manager) that I use for that.

Example:
Search for Text: **extraspecs**
Replace with Text: [URL=LINK ]Click here to add info to extra specs[URL]

[Warrior]

This looks like something I have been looking for - but I am confused... does it replace showing what usergroups the member is subscribed to... when someone views their profile?

I think you misunderstood. What I was asking is how to force them to enter a numerical value into the extra field (not wanting them to be able to enter text). Now that I think of it, it is much more complicated than I earlier thought it would be.

Instead of making the Profile Field Type a Single-Line Text Box, you could try Single-Selection Menu, assuming there's a limited amount of selections they would need. If not, you may want to post a Modification Request (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=112) for it. If this is how those RPG hacks are done, you'll probably get a response pretty quickly. I'll look into it this weekend as well as a separate hack. Just did a quick search, no one's posted a hack like that as far as I could see.

There's no need for a hack, it's built into vB.

Code Edits are needed. If I could have used a hook, or made one for the code, I would have. IIRC hack rewrites can't be posted w/o permission.

[ImportPassion]

u did miss one tho.

are u saying I don't have permission? I was gonna ask once it was done. More for me anyway, just way cleaner. No need to add phrases manually and crap like that.

[Wired1]

It's just common courtesy to ask before publicly stating something like that, not after. Where'd I miss a hook?

[Cyricx]

This


// *** open includes/functions_user.php

find

'attachments'

add under

'extra',

(don't forget to place a comma after 'attachments')


Can be replaced by

Plugin - usercp_nav_start

$cells[] = 'extra';


I just made a product and then added the plugins and stuff by hand.

Wired, it would really be much easier to toss all this into a product, or at least give 7thgen permission to post it in this thread then you can update the mainattachment.

It takes a 10-15 minute install to about a 1 minute install, because you don't have to keep clicking all around to languages and phrases, to templates, etc and cutting and pasting like mad ;)

This


// *** open includes/functions_user.php

find

'attachments'

add under

'extra',

(don't forget to place a comma after 'attachments')


Can be replaced by

Plugin - usercp_nav_start

$cells[] = 'extra';


I just made a product and then added the plugins and stuff by hand.

Wired, it would really be much easier to toss all this into a product, or at least give 7thgen permission to post it in this thread then you can update the mainattachment.

It takes a 10-15 minute install to about a 1 minute install, because you don't have to keep clicking all around to languages and phrases, to templates, etc and cutting and pasting like mad ;)

Damned if I know why a search on the instruction file didn't find that function lol.


$cells[] = 'extra';


That appends the array I take it? (rusty PHP skillz) [EDIT: Why yes, yes it does!)

Nothing against a product, just haven't been able to find the time lately to work on it (work and MCSE classes).

Anyone can product it up and send it to me, and I'll update the install file, just would appreciate a heads up before everyone else so I can look it over and whatnot (may try to slip in an update if time allows). Of course I'll append the intro with a nod to whomever's product compilation I use.

[Antivirus]

Great idea wired! I would however love to see this as a product before installing it permanently. Also, i'm looking forward to multiple pages as well, it seems as though there's only on at them moment, unless I am mistaken?

[Snake]

I have reinstalled the hack once again but my forums was kinda messed up so I'd no other choice but to clean up all the other hacks that existed. Anyway, is it possible to change the URL from "http://www.metalgearforums.com/profile.php?do=extra" to "http://www.metalgearforums.com/profile.php?do=mginfo"?

Yep!

change if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'extra') to: if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'mginfo')


change construct_usercp_nav('extra'); to: construct_usercp_nav('mginfo');

change $navclass[extra] to: $navclass[mginfo]

change <input type="hidden" name="do" value="updateextra" /> to: <input type="hidden" name="do" value="updatemginfo" />


Should do it I think. BTW, nice use of the hack!

woohoo, nice.

[Wired1]

forgot to work on it actually, eheh. Last day for a certain badge in City of Villains, got it though!

Set up a demo vB install and re-read the product creation notes. Still don't think it'll all fit into the product (being the custom hook location, although I can't remember if that's this hack or the other one). We'll see though. Just got some great news about Ze Secret Project, so that may interfere with this, but I'll try to make the product tomorrow (gonna test it by removing the Demo forum and re-creating it).

[Snake]

This is weird. After the installation of this hack, some of my newly custom profiles fields do not appear on the registeration page. Can you just tell me why?

[Wired1]

Can't think of a reason off the top of my head. Are they marked as standard profile fields, or as ones to be displayed for this hack?

[Snake]

Standard profile fields. Hmm this is really strange. I'll check my edits once again and see the problem. If I coudn't, I'll get back to ya as soon as I can.

[Wired1]

Well I'd upload the updated XML plugin and the product if the site wouldn't hang on uploading XML files! Rassa frassa frassa rassa

[Snake]

Actually I have managed to fix it. Thanks anyway. :)

[Wired1]

kewl, what was it? I'll try tonight to upload the XML files again. Just tried to upload a fake XML (gibberish in the file) from work, worked fine. Worst case scenario is I'll have to upload it tomorrow from work.

[Snake]

The field for display order was set to '0'. That's the reason why it wasn't working. Hehehe. Silly me.

Just more thing. When a user has not edited or updated his profile page and left as empty, it is supposed to say "N/A" rather than a blank space just like the "Forum Info"...

Could you please include the Versionshistory in the first Posting?No, as there's no real changes to speak of yet. When actual changes are done, then yes, they'll be added.

[Wired1]

BTW, currently looking into the cleanest way to do multiple pages.

The basic way to do do this would be simply to rename some variables, and install the hack more than once (changing the variable names with each install). It'd be functional, but it could certainly be better and more intuitive.

To do it right would require some interesting code :) ATM the only reasons I can think of to have multiple pages would be to have multiple dropdowns in the related hack, so I'm thinking of how to efficiently do multiple dropdowns / profile areas. May just enhance the page with a dropdown in it. Each option in the dropdown would show/hide the fields associated w/ that option.

Example: dropdown has 3 options: Car / Boat / Plane. Selecting Car would let you enter in fields that relate to cars, e.g. rims, spoiler, etc. Selecting plane would let you select jet engine field, turbine engine, etc.

Having a proper admin backend page for the overall hack would make it much easier to adminstrate and update though, so I'll try to work on that first.

You mark profile fields that you'd like on the entry page, and it puts it there.

Hello,

I installed this, tested it, and everything works fine. The only problem is that it says that the templates listed in the preceding post of mine were uncached. I have the stats modification installed that shows queries and uncached templates. The actual Edit Options page has like 6-7 uncached templates. Every other page of my site is fine but that one. Any thoughts?

[bairy]

Rich,
It's because the templates aren't cached under the ?do=extra.

I've done a quick way of doing it though I'm not sure it's the best:
Add new plugin under General >> cache_templates
I've called mine Extra Profile Page Cache Templates

Content:
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'profile' AND $_REQUEST['do'] == 'extra')
{
$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array(
'page',
'userfield_checkbox_option',
'userfield_optional_input',
'userfield_radio',
'userfield_radio_option',
'userfield_select',
'userfield_select_option',
'userfield_select_multiple',
'userfield_textarea',
'userfield_textbox'));
}

Then the templates will be cached when editing of that page is requested.

[Wired1]

Damned if I know anything about caching templates :)

If someone can kindly point me to some good info about it (too busy ATM to search myself, which also explains my slowness on the board lately), I'll add it into the hack.

First of all, sorry for my late respond.

Anyway, I have noticed a few members who just got a blank area and some who got the "N/A" phrase included in their extra field. Let's take Smokey (http://www.bonethugsforums.com/memberslist/smokey.html) and Ameen (http://www.bonethugsforums.com/memberslist/ameen.html) for example. As you can see, Smokey shows up just blank while as Ameen shows up the "N/A" phrase thing. Do you have any idea what's going on?

Also how do I change the URL "profile.php?do=extra" to "profile.php?do=editboneinfo"?

[Wired1]

As you can see, Smokey shows up just blank while as Ameen shows up the "N/A" phrase thing. Do you have any idea what's going on?I checked HoH (in the sig), and I've found similar profiles. I'll have to look into it, only thing I can think of is that because it's really just an extension of the additional info area, it sees some info, and therefore doesn't see a need to use the N/A, as it thinks something's already in that column. I'll see if there's a way around it.


Also how do I change the URL "profile.php?do=extra" to "profile.php?do=editboneinfo"?Edit lines 41 and 44 of the XML product.

[Snake]

Edit lines 41 and 44 of the XML product.

Lines 41-44:
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'extra')

replace "extra" with "editboneinfo"

May not even need to do the 2nd edit. Basically, take the XML file, open it, edit that, save it, upload it, run it, done.

Please clarify "multiple pages" and why this would be needed.

i'm trying to make the user cp as easy as possible, guiding the user from category to category. instead of having everything on one page, i plan to have

"personal"
- real name
- uesr name
- hometown

"contact"
- e-mail
- web site
- phone

"pictures"
- profile picture
- avatar
- vbadvanced gallery

it doesn't seem like much of a difference, but i think ease of use really plays well for visitors, especially if you plan to expand your profiles.

Depending on your use of the pages, you may need to do more than that. Please clarify the multiple pages' usage.

As for the left bar in the UserCP, you would also need to do a similar change with the extra instructions in the text file.

OK thanks for the reply. Here is what I want to do.

In the left nav bar will be 3 different "Extra" links:
Extra1
Extra2
Extra3

This will link to 3 separate pages. Each page will have their custom profile fields.

Extra1Page1 with custom profile fields 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
Extra2Page2 with custom profile fields 9,10,11,12
Extra3Page3 with custom profile fields 13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21

Therefore if I understand all this correctly within vBulletin Admin where it asks "Which page displays this option?" I will assign profile field 1 ExtraPage and so on.

I hope this all makes sense. Thanks for the help in advance.

[Wired1]

do=extra in the text file instructions (and the extra plugins) would be replaced by something else (just add a 2 at the end for instance). You'd also need to add extra vbphrases and change them accordingly throught the plugin and text file instructions.

If you wanted to you could have them all in the same page, just depends on how much extra coding you'd want to do for the custom page.

[vb_guru]

Thanks for the reply. I was able to change all the names and have a whole separate page and nav link in the User CP. This is great.

One unrelated question, do you know how to put a time stamp whenever a user updates the extra profile questions?

[Wired1]

where does the date go

[vb_guru]

where does the date go

The date will be for internal use only and will probably be stored in a new MySQL column in the user table or it could possibly be another custom profile field. I am not exactly sure the best way to do this.

Hey Wired_1,

I tried searching this thread but couldn't find any results. I noticed in your System Specs example, you were able to allow single-line text box options.

I've installed everything and got it working correctly on 3.5.4. The problem I'm facing is single-line text box profile field options don't show up on the profile.php?do=extra page.

I'm sure the single-line profile field option I created works b/c when I change the display page to editprofile, it works fine.

Is this a known bug, or just me?

Does the profile field show up on the extra page, the normal member page, or both? The editprofile page you are looking at, is it in the admincp, or just the normal member edit info page that each user has in their usercp? (screenshots would be awesome)

Somewhere in the Extra Profile Page plugin under the submit area I'm guessing, with the appropriate vBulletin database functions.

It's an editable user profile field, so I'm accessing it through the usercp. The link I use is profile.php?do=extra. How I tested it was I changed the display page of the profile field to "editprofile" in the admin backend, and it showed up fine in the users' "editprofile". When I set the display page to "options: extra options", it does not show up. The tests were tested on a "registered users" account in their own usercp.

I hope this explains it well enough. I've included a screen shot though it doesn't show much.. thanks.

[Wired1]

futuredood:

sounds like it's done right. so you can basically mark any profile field that's not a single-line text box as extra options, and it'll work fine?

doesn't make sense. Is this site live, or up enough where a temp registered user can be set up so that I can look at it?

[futuredood]

wired1, sorry about that, let me try again.

the site's not public yet, it's a fresh install of 3.5.4 that's being modified.

for the extra profile page, i can add any type of custom profile field. this includes single-selection menu, multi-selection check box, etc. the only custom profile fields that do not work is single-line text box and multi-line text box.

when i link a custom profile field single-line text box to the extra options page that this hack created, it does not show up.

does that make more sense?

[Wired1]

that's what I said :) the hack's too generic to affect some profile fields and not others, as it just adds that dropdown as an option for all fields to be marked as, and then the new page looks for fields with those marks and grabs them.

do you have any other hacks installed that affect profile fields?

[futuredood]

lol great, we both have an understanding now.

i've got a number of hacks installed as well as customized modify profile templates. which template is the extra profile field page in? maybe i made an alteration that causes single-line text boxes to not appear.

to note, i have interactive profiles installed which may alter the profile page some how.

[Wired1]

The extra profile field is its own template, made by the product XML.

[futuredood]

Hmm.. I just can't get this to work. My board is heavily modified, but I don't see which one could possibly conflict with this profile field hack. I'm not very familiar with how plugins work exactly, but is their a certain location I should look at and disable other plugins that might be conflicting with this hack?

[futuredood]

Wired_1, can I send you admin access to check this out? I think I've tried everything.

[Wired1]

Sure. Can't think off the top of my head what would do it though. doesn't make sense, as all the hack really does is to mark profile fields to be editable in a different location.

[Wired1]

I'm thinking of doing a upgrade for this hack. Basically, instead of storing info in profile fields, it'd store them in a SQL table. This would make it easier to have multiple pages of the same item (e.g. car stats, PC specs, etc), although it would still suffer from the same issue this current version has, where if you want multiple pages with different specs in each one, then you'd have to install the hack multiple times.

This is UNTESTED, but unless I missed an edit here or there, it should work. Basically created a new product and updated names of all the plugins and calls and whatnot.

[Wired1]

I've tried to get it to show up on the members profile by using your other hack. It didn't work. What I really want is to create another page where the extra fields are shown with a link to the page in their profile.

bio.php would work.

In otherwords, you'd like a link on their member page that goes to a new page where these extra specs can be seen? If so, shouldn't be that hard to whip up. If this is what you want, do me a fav, post this in that thread so I'll get the update in my email. That way I'll remember when I get home :)

I did a quick install of this and received this error when I went to the Profile Field Manager in AdminCP:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '\"', expecting ')' in /path/to/public_html/admincp/profilefield.php on line 383

And line 383 is this:
"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[extra_options2]"

I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions correectly. I just added extra_options2 lines right under the original extra_options. But, I've got to go for the day, so will try again later tonight, thanks Wired.

[Wired1]

Did you place a 6 or 7 behind those two values? :) I've updated the txt file.

[futuredood]

Haha thanks Wired, works great. In case anyone's wondering.. to make 3'rd or 4'th pages, just rename the 2's in the .xml file to the appropriate number, as well as the install.txt file.

[Wired1]

Sweet :)

Also don't forget to increment the steps where it's a numerical list! :)

Great Add-on, for some reason my extra's are showing up as Additional Information?

Are there some php edits for this to display correctly

Yep, read the instruction text file.

[barryhand]

Yep, read the instruction text file.
I've done that, but then it doesn't display on the member.php

I've edited it to be 0 or 6 and it shows additional information like hobbies/age/location etc.

[Wired1]

When you use this hack, it removes the specified profiles from the member.php. If you're looking for the fields to show up in the bottom right quadrant, you need to install the associated hack:

I'm having a problem. Profile fields won't show up on the extra options page. I've tried making a new profile field and setting it to go in there. I've also tried moving a default profile field into the extra options page. What could be the problem?

I've also tried moving a default profile field into the extra options page. What could be the problem?Does it disappear when you move it, in otherwords does it move from their member page into oblivion, or does it stay where it is?

What vB version do you have? Have you done all the steps in the text file?

[Jeordie015]

If I move a profile field from Edit Profile into the Extra Options, it will disappear from Edit Profile.

I'm running vB3.5.4. And I believe I've done everything required in the text file. Going to the Extra Options page just shows a collapsed table where the fields should be, if that tells you anything.

[Wired1]

Dunno, got me! Got any other hacks installed? If so, may want to disable one plugin at a time and see if one of them causes the problem.

Post (or PM me) the URL to the site and I'll set up a test account (unless you have one already). Only thing else I can really suggest would be to uninstall the product, reverse the text hacks, and re-do it.

[Jeordie015]

Well, I do have quite a few hacks installed, but I disabled all the ones I thought might be the problem and it didn't help.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't work either. But I might have overlooked something twice.

Do you need to be an admin to see/fix the problem?

May need it, don't know yet.

Which Edit page is the hack? Account is test.

[Jeordie015]

Alright, I got it. It was my fault. I missed the functions_user.php edit apparently.

[Jeordie015]

I do have a question though. My extra profile fields page is going to be for video game online usernames and codes. Is there some way I can make groups in this page the same way the Edit Options page does? Like it has Login & Privacy, Messaging & Notification, etc.

Yep, it'd be similar to the code I recently posted about creating a second page. Read the attached file, groups.txt. It should explain everything for you.

Alright, I did the edits in the php files, but am not sure what to do next.

[Wired1]

Did you also update the page file and customize it as needed, and then associate various fields to each group?

[Jeordie015]

What page file? In the instructions, it just gives a sample template or whatever, but I have no idea what to do with it.

[Wired1]

Replace the page template that the product made with that, although you MUST customize it.

[Jeordie015]

What page template? I could never find a template for it.

[Wired1]

it's called Page :) PM'd you one to try w/ two groups. After you update it, The first extra options will be for the first group, the second for the second.

Hi Wired1,

I upggraded to 3.6, and it will no longer accept

Open member.php

FIND:

// END CUSTOM PROFILE FIELDS
// *************************

AFTER IT ADD:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('member_extras')) ? eval($hook) : false;

without getting database errors. Can you help piz? :)

[Wired1]

probably because the hack's for vB 3.5.x and not 3.6 :)

Installing vB 3.6.x on a test server this weekend. Did they change how hooks are implemented?

I'm not sure Wired1, because I'm not a coder, but I think it has something to do with the Infraction system. :alien: :)

[lanc3lot]

Hello, if it can be changed so it will work with 3.6, it will be sweet :)

Ty in advance

[Wired1]

It'll be updated. Guys, PLEASE hit install :)

BTW, gator, that code is for the other hack, not this one.

This hack works fine w/ 3.6.0, no changes needed. Going to check out Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts now.

Sorry Wired1, I think I am losing my mind. I also use this hack as well, but I got it to work. Will you be abble to fix the other on as well? :D

[Wired1]

Yep, got the other one to work, just want to clean up the instructions and stuff a bit. That and I was doing it at 3 AM, so I want to check it over lol.

[legionofangels]

Hello Wired,

I am not sure which add on we have, as i"ll have to check with the coder but we either have this or Zac's version on our forum which is 3.6.8 PL2.

I am currently experiencing a small problem and was wondering if you could tell me anything about it or what we could do to fix the problem:

We use 3.6.8 PL2 at the moment. I'm wondering if there are any comapitiblity issues?

Our current problem is that we used it to give an option to members to Show or Hide the Inferno Shoutbox we have. The buttons and everything works fine for registered members.

Our problem is though that while logged out, guests cannot view the shoutbox and I don't understand why. Is there an option that comes with this mod that would affect that?

Or is there some coding I need to add to make the shoutbox show for those not logged in, but that upon logging into an account it of course accepts the accounts choice of Show or Hide?

It's set to default Show in the profile field for a new member so I don't know why it won't show automatically for everyone prior to log in.

Please help if anyone can, and thank you in advance,

Legion of Angels

[Wired1]

This mod is NOT for 3.6.x, it is for 3.5.4. My profile contains links to the 3.6.8 versions.

[legionofangels]

EDIT: Nevermind, we used a code to get what we want, not an add on. Sorry for any confusion.

[Wired1]

I will only say this ONE more time. This thread is for the 3.5.x version of this mod. DO NOT USE IT WITH 3.7.X. Uninstall it by reversing the instructions, and install the 3.7.x version!
