I have installed both MODs and have the drop down working great however the info does not show up in the profile view in the bottom right quadrant? The problem seems to be related to the data being linked to the correct box. If members have not added info that normally appears in the profile view in the additional Info area then both quadrants show "N/A".

Any ideas? I followed your instructions to the letter.

tested fine for me, there's got to be a typo or missing code.

Got it. Somehow one of the plugins was not active. Nice hack and works Great!

Cheers!:D

I have the exact same issue as alluidh! Was there any success with getting it to work properly?? Right now my board probably thinks I'm crazy because of how it looks, so any help on this would be greatly appreciated, especially since I'd rather have the mod working than not have it at all. :)

Thanks.

Works fine. Force refresh your page, and clear your cache.

Not yet. I believe it's got something to do with how that field is stored, and from that I'd surmise that a DB query could fix it, although I'd rather not add any queries if at all possible. Perhaps a modification of a query though.

:ermm: is there an eta on the fix? i appreciate you working on it. thank you.

also, i'm wondering how to get certain fields to show up on one panel vs another. i created two new panels on my profile, rather than swapping out the subscribed groups list. now i'd like some of the options from the new edit stats page that i created to appear on one side and some others on the other side. i just don't know how to do it. they all show up on both sides now unless i change $customfields2 to $customfields3, which gives me nothing on one panel. i just can't figure out how to assign those fields to $customfields3.

also, i've set some of the fields to show up on the member list and made them searchable, but they're not coming up. will you login my site with username test, password test and let me know? thank you.

FYI your dropdown for the UserCP is missing a link to Edit Investment Stats.

Ok, so if I have this straight, you've got one page, and you'd like to take some of the fields and have them on the left, and some others, and have them on the right?

lol yes! i would. and i noticed that too (about the missing link), but i'm afraid to try to fix b/c I don't want to mess it up. Actually, whatever I did when I went in there, if you look carefully, made the missing link & the edit password link, i think it was, just shrink (you can see the double lines, and if you get your mouse in there, you can actually click on it and it will take you to the edit password/email link. *shrug* lol.
btw, thanks for you help. :)

I don't think it would be too hard, just rambling here (to remind me later), but IIRC it'd just be a matter of marking the fields differently, having the edit page show the edit areas for both marks, and then have the quadrants filter them out. I'll look into the code tomorrow, just spent a while updating my own forum to vB 3.6.0, yaaaaaayyyyyy. Now to re-do all the hacks for it!

FYI I've found some code to help with the multiple selection profile bug, but not an automated way to do it. It'd have to be customized by the end user.

Q: (sorry if this is dumb quesiont...non programmer here). Does using this save the queries of items/postbit elements if you put them in the menu dropdown?

eg:
no. of queries if the items were displayed without the dropdown... 5
no. of queries for same items once you put them into the dropdown.... 1

is that correct?

Your instructions don't state what to do with the xml file. I added the hook statement, but I am not sure what to do next.

I also am not sure where to change the vB Phrase [group_memberships] to the title I want for the quadrant. Is it in one of the templates?

Thanks.

Dunno. There's only one query for all of the profile fields in my hack, so I don't know what you're comparing it to.


Jericho2004: Please hit Install.

Do you mean extra member fields.xml? It's a plugin, upload it like any other plugin.

You change the phrase in the Phrase Manager within the AdminCP.

Sorry, I hit install. Everything works except it is not pulling the data from the cp into the public profile in that bottom right quadrant. Thanks for the help.

You manually edited the member page, correct? What code is where the group membership code was?

Yes I changed the title of the quadrant and replaced the code in the memberinfo template. And, the data from the cp is not showing up. It is probably something I overlooked, but I have gone through it a few times now. Thanks.

PM me all the code from your member page template I guess.

This looks like a very good hack, one which I would be interested in using, only slightly modified..

Would it be possible for me to edit the hack so that it displays the results of my own custom query, rather than info from the control panel?

My idea is based around the fact I run an interactive story site that intregrates with my forum. What I'm looking to do is query the database for each user to see if they have made any posts on the story site, and have links to them listed under their username, as well as on their member profile page.

How easy/hard would something like this be to achieve? Thank you.

This is strange. The dropdown only shows up for admins and mods on my site and not for regular members. Anyone know what would cause that?

I take it you already know the appropriate queries to gather the story site info? To be honest, that would be a different hack, as mine gathers static profile field info, whereas what I believe you are looking to accomplish will gather constantly changing data.

Only thing I can think of offhand would be to create some vB database queries that hit the story tables and save the results as vB variables (all of this in the member page), and then slap the variable into the member page similar to how I've done. The ones under each user's name in each post could be more difficult, depending on how your story site tables link with vB, if at all.


It would have to be wrapped in conditionals that limit the viewing for this to happen. PM me the code for your member page and I'll analyze it.

Oh yeah, that's no problem at all. I can do the queries and everything else I need to do, it was more the drop-down list thing you have in the postbit that I was most interested in, for someone to hit the link and have a list of the chapters they posted appear - although I think at this point, that might be a bit advanced for me ;)

I know that this is not really the best place to talk about it, but I was wondering if you might be able to do me a HUGE favour? I'm totally new to the way that vB handles hacks, etc.. If I understand it correctly, there are hooks dotted about within the files, you just choose the most relevent one (say, at a point just before you want the data to display), and insert some code, say a query.. which you can then load into a variable, and have displayed within a template? (I'm probally making it sound really basic, but I think that's how it's meant to work).

Seeing as you've taken over the group membership box on the member profile page (which is where I'd probally have my chapter links appear), would you be kind enough to let me know which hook you're using, and some basic tips on how I should go about creating it?

Thank you :)

Hooks are within PHP pages, and the one I used I made and slapped into the XML hook listings page and the PHP file :)

The hook isn't related to the location of the extra profile field's location on the member page though. That's due to the edits made in the member page in the instructions. The hook code gets the specially marked profile fields from the profile field list. The template edits basically just relabel the box and call the list of marked profile fields.

The dropdown code is manually created by the forum admin who creates it, as per the instructions. It simply calls the profile fields they want.

Hi there, thank you for the info... I've actully succeded in my task, I don't know if I've done is the best way it can be done, but so far it appears to be working: http://theice.co.uk/member.php?u=5 (take a look at where the group membership should be).

I've used the hook of member_complete (I did try using member_start, but the $userinfo[userid] variable wasn't available), and as I say, it looks like it's working :)

All I need to do now is explore some more of your code and see if I can't borrow what you've done in the postbit ;)

Cheers for the help :D

Looks good!

I have a problem :-(...

the dropdown list doesn' t excist

and i think that there is a mistake with the member info page... at the top it shows me this:

any ideas?

the code shown indicates a typo.

Have you followed all of the instructions for the dropdown?

I get the same thing - just installed it and my member page does that too.

Double checked I hadn't done a typo :O

I fixed the dropdown issue. There happened to be one small part of the code that pointed to field5. That was not identified in the instructions. I still cannot get the public profile area in the bottom right quadrant to grab the system specs from the usercp. The instructions are too vague for non-coders and miss alot of specifics. Other than that, everything else is working.

I have now installed both of these hacks. Its the little things that add so much!

Thank you
-CYVOK-

Removing the hook line obviously stops it 0 but taking out the member info from member.php doesn't.

Hmmm

Fixed the instructions. Do you have the other hack installed?


Well, that error does indicate a typo, so you've got me! Could be an extra </DIV> or something copied in there possibly when you manually copied the info into the member.php. I know when testing it out and copying in code, I've accidentally left an extra div or </SOMETHING> in there. BTW, glad to see another tech site using the hack :) Going to use it for PC specs I take it?


No problemo!

Hello Wired,

When I try to import the .xml file as a Product, vB says that it seems to be a Module and not a Product. So it advises me to import it as Module, but there I don't how to do with such type of file.

It's a plugin, not a product. Go to Download / Upload Plugins and import it.

Hello Wired,

Thanks for your reply.
I think I did now everything I was supposed to do for your two hacks (i.e. with EPFP), but I don't have any dropdown menu next to my username.

I may have done something wrong...

1. do you have any profile fields in the edit page?
2. did you change any of the fields to be in the edit page?

As far as I know, yes, I did all that, it's why I don't understand.

But obviously, I may have missed something :confused:

Only thing I can think of is to go over the instructions again, as I know it works fine. If you want I (or someone else you trust) could look at your adminCP settings I guess.

Looked them over, I'm guessing you've left in the conditional for field 5, and nothing's there.

this hack here may help https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=120833
