No problemo, and thanks for hitting install! :)

Where's it installed?

You have to be a member to see anything so here is a screenie (You'll see I edited the template slightly too by adding the catagory strip thing at the top)

I also added the bit to show the info in the groups pane too

Kewlness. Don't forget the other install button! :) (yeah, I'm install crazy lol)

Nearly forgot that one ... done it now though :)

thanks! Oooohhhh, i posted @ 00:00... that's a new one lol!

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.

As for the other parts, sounds like you need to install this:

Also, PLEASE hit install!

It is not installed yet, your second plug-in is really complicated to modify...

What is up with this: <a href="#specs">$post[username]'s PC Specs</a>..

<div id="specs_$post[postid]" class="vbmenu_control">
what do i change it to? and where do I change them?

Installed and works fine, but their is still a edit_extra_fields problem with the phrases...

I really don't get why... I added it manually though and it works, thanks again!

*clicks install*

The bolded areas you don't change, or if you do, they need to be the same word.

All phrases are added manually in this hack. Also, those involve the other hack, not this one.

Hello gael11,

thank you very much for this hack. Exact the tool I need :) *happy*
And now I go and look for the Add-On - but before i will do my click ;)

Um, I created this hack, not gael11, but thanks!

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.

*clicks install*

Was it just installing hacks on 3.5.x that was new and maybe causing confusion, or was it something in the instruction file?

It was more of me not knowing anything about 3.5X than anything else...

Your instructions were fine, thanks :)

Good to know!

Wired,

Any idea how I can force users to enter numbers in these extra fields?

Not really related to your mod, just thought you may know where to look since you have worked with the profile fields as much as you have...

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]

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?

Nice hack!

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.

Thanks for answering though! :)

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 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.

It does replace it (as I haven't seen many people use that at all), however there's a simple work around:

Don't forget to hit Install if you use a hack! :)

Great, just installed the hack and works like a charm! :)

Glad to hear!

Wired1,

Is there an easy way to have 2 seperate extra profile pages?

I know it can be done by picking through your code make changes, but if there is an easier way you may be able to save me a big headache :)

Yep, you could pick through the code and... :)

It's on the list :) Just gotta hit the lottery and get rid of this darn job, then hacks will be edited more often!

Curious: why more than one page?

Is there a Heck that allows me to add more information about the user, custom fields, but that the user CANNOT modify?

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

AdminCP -> User Profile Fields -> User Profile Field Manager -> (select a field) -> EDIT -> Field Editable by User (Yes, No, Only at registration)

(where can I hide - feeling very stupid not seeing this one earlier).
Thanks!
Thats exactly what I was looking for.

No problemo! Don't forget to hit install if you installed it!

works great on vB 3.5.2, yay! :)

so this will add another field of anything that I want?

From the options in the ACP?

As many fields as I want?

I am having a problem with the upgrade, though, but this is something I had fixed before when i first moved over to vB 3.5.1, but I totally forgot how to do it...

Check my profile to see what I'm talking about, everything else works fine...

http://etalk.gamebgs.com/forums/member.php?u=1

It simply adds a separate page, and a way to easily separate those marked fields from the others in the adminCP. only limited by vB's limits.


Gotta re-install (fix the templates basically) the other hack as well:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98753

It gives you the fields there. BTW< nice vB look there @ eTalk!

Thank you for the comments. Just got it too work ;)

I had forgot the member.php part...o_o'

Thank you for the nice hack and the fast support :)

No problemo!

Nice!! I actually found a way to take out one of the function_user edits by adding another hook into usercp_nav_start but still had to do the other file edit :)

I hope you compile this into a product xml, would make the phrases and such much easier :)

[high]* Cyricx installs![/high]

What function_user edit?

I'll have to read that product making thread again. Last time I read it it wasn't that informative.

is there any way to get this working w/o the code edits?
