anyone got this working with 3.0.7 ??

I had to uninstall. The weather is messing things up for me. Anything past that weather field, regardless if private or not , when put on the extra page will cause all hidden fields including the previous one to display on member page.

working fine here on the latest vb.

read back in this thread, there's a fix

just added this with the fix but ive added loads of fields to it and i just get this on the extra page...

any ideas？？？

you have to go to the profile fields you want, and select which page they appear on in the select menu all the way at the bottom

i have ive added loads to the extra page! when i click the submit button on the page (in screen shot) it tells me that i havent filled in the required fields which leads me to believe its a template issue.... But ive updated all the templates no change any ideas ?

im facing a prob in here
i'm using vb 3.0.7

and in ur documentation: extra_options_install_1_1.txt
well I can't seem to find the code so I can replace it :\
instead I found another similar code
what should I do, I really do want to display the info on member.php

man this mod is a pain
I finished installing following these messed up instructions
and I ended up with a blank page when I visit the extra field in the usercp

could you please provide us with a clear documentation for the vb3.0.7 !!!!

I've got this working perfectly on 3.0.7, but i'd like to be able to show people browsing the forums what they have listed in their extra profiles where the join date, post count, and birthday phrases are in postbit. Is there any way of getting this to be shown there?

is there away to make it show up in posts also ? below avatar?

Yes, I just found out the way!

First off, you'll need to create a phrase, in detail:

Phrase Type: GLOBAL

Varname: X

Text: XX

Now, the X = whatever you want your profile to be, so if you have multiple custom fields, you can name them whichever they are (ex. anime, console, book, movie, etc.)

The XX = whatever you want it to say before it shows what the user has typed in for their custom profile (ex. Fav. Anime, Fav. Console, Fav. Book, Fav. Movie, etc.)

The phrase depends on how many custom fields you have and what you want them to say under the avatar.

Now, onto the template editing..

Go into the Style Manager, and click the dropdown box for whatever style you want to use this on, and select "Edit Templates." Then go to Postbit Templates >> postbit OR postbit_legacy

Ok, now on to the templates, First is the legacy version of postbit, and then the horizontal version.

*postbit_legacy*

Search around in here until you find this:

Under that, add this:

Edit the X, XX, and XXX Before you add this line though..
X = field # (it'll say this when you go to the "User Profile Field Manager" option on the right towards the dropdown box, ex. field6, field7, field9, etc.)

XX = the varname of the vbphrase you added first (movie, anime, book, etc.)

XXX = same as X

*postbit*

This is pretty much the same, but search around for this code:

Under this, add the following code:

X = Field Number
XX = Phrase varname
XXX = same as X

The location of the added code might not look perfect to you, so just move it around and customize it for your forum's style or whatnot.


And there you have it! Should be working for everyone, but if you need more help, just reply! ^_^

I think this hack will do what I want, but I'm not sure. Will it let you add a separate category to the Profile area?

Basically, I want the UserCP -> Edit Profile to have a new category (e.g. Registration Required Information, Optional Information, Additional Information, etc.) and its own fields below that.

Also, does anyone have a site with this hack running so I can see it in action?

Im going to rehack this for 3.5.0 when I get a chance :)

Ummmm.... does the current hack let you create categories?

It adds a whole new page, which could be seen as a category.

A whole new page for the UserCP, correct? On the last example pic, it's just showing up under the rest of the fields, as if it was just a field made by the vB Admin Panel Profile Manager. Can it be separated into its own box with this hack, or does further hacking have to take place for that to happen?

Just to clarify, what I'm looking to do is to add a section to the profile for PC specs. The specs will also be shown in posts. May just hack an option to have a radio button if they want the specs in the sig, and it formats and inserts it accordingly, or have some type of hack for the sidebar (Name, pic, join date, etc.) where it pops out in a menu, or expands down like the AdminCP options.

As an example of how another site uses system specs in posts (soooo not how I want, IMHO this way is ugly):
http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread....hreadid=137963 (look on the right side of a post)

In that site, they're just added fields, looks ugly when you check out someone's profile.

Can these fields be available for selected usergroups only?

can someone pleae provide updated/better instructions for this hack? It starts off withand that is just a bit too vague considering has been awhile since this was updated, and there have been a few revisions of vbulletin, and also since I have already heavily edited that page. A "virgin" copy of profile.php shows:is this correct?

thanks this would be good, as I can create a field for 'Computer Exp' and disable features based on the selection.. thnks

i redid the instructions for this hack awhile ago and got it to work on 3.0.5 but iv since upgraded to 3.0.7 and havent had a chance to reinstall if you want them here they are


Use these Instructions at Your OWN Risk

any chance this will be updated for 3.5?

this is the only hack I am waiting for an update for :)

Anyone is free to port this to 3.5 :) just a little credit for the idea would be nice.

I think I may take a crack at it this weekend then, esp. since my profile mod needs this to work! :)

cool, please keep us updated :) will give $10 to the first one to do it :)

Edit: you'd find that the current version works with 3.5.0 the only part not working correctly is saving and validation of fields.

gotta have this one :-\

FYI, I'm working on it right now. Found a perfect hook location for it, so it's looking good so far.

Pretty much done, however I can't get the damned thing to SAVE when updating on the page.

I do believe I got it all working, yaaayyyy!!! The instructions aren't too clear though. I'm gonna catch some zzz's, clean up the instruction file, and submit it, then pop a link to it in here as well.

you are my hero :)
thanks!

excellent news :) PM me if you want the $10.

Waiting on 3rd party confirmation from posters from my site to make sure it's working fine.

Just to explain it a bit, vB changed some code that altered the hack. To make the install easy there's 1 PHP edit. It's just 1 line of code, a hook placement, member.php IIRC. 2 hooks used total (1 is mine, 1 is vB's).

Tonight I'm gonna mess with exporting the hack via XML. If it works, I'll upload that file directly.

nice! will this support more than one page of extra fields? I have one for "chat options" and desire another one for "something else" and perhaps "something even different"... making it 3 areas where I'd like to organize things.

Not initially, but I can't see it being that hard to implement.

How would you want these options to be viewed (if at all) from someone else's view? Think of a unregistered reader checking out someone's profile and how you would want them to see it.

My hack (partially based on this hack):
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=82040

shows one option to display the data. More areas could be made within the profile window to display more data.

FYI, I'm re-writing the instructions as we speak. I'll post here when it's done, and then create the new thread, and then link to it from here.

Ok, I think the instructions are done. Going to make the new thread.

yes, exactly that! with the options of creating categories for the data to be displayed in :)

OK, linkage:

I THINK I know what you mean, not 100% sure though. Once I work on the updates, I will have multiple categories, and in turn my other hack that's based on this one will have multiple ways to update it.
