MarkoXaser, KHALIK: You're welcome!


Wrong mod! Please post in the appropriate thread so that all of the users of it can benefit from the Q & A.


Thanks, but you get a C-, you should be using my Extra Profile Fields Page so you don't have to tell your users to "Scroll to about the middle of the page, in the Thread Display Options", just to enter in system specs. Make it easy for them :) Of course, if you use that, then you'll want my Add-on for it, my Extra Profile Fields Tab, so that you can see their system specs in their profile (and not under the About Me tab).

Wired1 - I'll check that out, It would be a lot easier.

Jase2 - Wow. Bit touchy arent you.. I thought I'd be nice incase someone wanted to see a working example. If it bothers you that much, PM a mod or the admin and have them edit the post and remove the link.

Got them installed and edited.
Looks real nice now. The specs are easily changed and have the tab in the profile.

Thanks for all your work on this!



1 more question.
Is there a way to allow so we could use the dropdown then click on a selection as a link?

Awesome Awesome mod Wired! Thank You so much!! :)

Can I make this mod only show up in the user's postbit if they have info entered in the profile fileds? So the ones who do not want to fill anything in will not have a dropdown box?

Thanks again!! :up:

Need more info. Do you mean you want a user to be able to enter in a URL as a profile field? Or do you want a specific profile field to always be a link to the same thing, and the user would just be entering in the link's title?


It's in the instructions up top, but I've clarified it a bit since you've read it, so I'll copy it down here again:

So the user could put in different links into the fields.

Example:
When you click the dropdown.
Brand name /Motherboard: Toshiba
CPU: Intel P4 2.6

Where the user put in Toshiba, If the user wanted to link that to a certain website they could enter a URL then you could click on the "Toshiba" and be brought to a link like the model number of the Computer. Then they could also enter a different link for the "Intel P4" to link directly to the intel P4 site.

Thats All I think is missing. If it could be added easily or perhaps a future upgrade that would really top this product off.

Other than that. I think it's awsome.

I wouldn't recommend allowing users to enter in URLs, as it SCREAMS "Abuse Me!" to idiots and spammers.

Ultimately, you'd need 2 places to enter in data for each line: One for the URL, one for the text. Assuming you'd use profile fields for both of them, you'd have to do something like this:

EDIT TEMPLATE: Dropdown Information - Manual

Find the fieldID that you want to have a link.

EXAMPLE: CHANGE:

TO:
Where fieldX = the profile field ID that contains the URL, and fieldY = the profile field ID that contains the text.

You can use some if statements to clean it up in various ways depending on what you want to do, but that's the gist of it.

Thank you for clarifying that. :)

Thanks Wired1 for that. I tweaked the code you listed a bit.

I added the another "if", so if the user doesn't put in a url it doesn't allow a click in the dropdown. Without that, and no url it allows a click and a error 404.

I'm loving this. Thanks for the direction on the linking.

this don't work for me my postbit have custom codes any way I can do this manually i mean insert codes in my posbit so it show ?

thanks

As long as you haven't removed the hooks manually, it should work. If you want to do it with purely manual edits, follow the instructions in the 3.6.x version.
