Don't worry about it, just for developers, kind of a joke.

fmntprsv, did you install the parent plugin, Extra Profile Fields Page?


shcchief, what version of vB do you have? Says 2.1.1 in your profile here. Do you have a link to your forum?

Got the base for this installed correctly, after a bit of poking. First time on vB admin side and just getting started.

I can get the quadrant to show up right with modified title, but I can't get the field to populate. Like I said, I got the parent plugin installed and working, with filled-out fields to work with. Suggestions on where to start looking for noob mistakes in my install?

Got this as well:
I'm not worried about getting the dropdown - it's not something I need for my site - just the info quadrant.

Got a link to your forum? Also, what version of vB do you have?

Running vB 3.6.8PL2

Not all users have it filled in, but the one that matches my forum name here is completed within the usercp - custom page.

Edit: Found the answer to searchable fields - anyone looking, check out the thread for Wired's base mod.

Well, i was done all and this is the result:

As you see, now it appears EXTRA OPTIONS (see the red rectangle) but not appear the fields. ?What can i do?

Thanks a lot about your interest!

Dinatius and fmntprsv, this should help you both:

Go to AdminCP. On the menu bar to the left, go to User Profile Fields -> User Profile Field Manager.

Edit a field that you would like in their profile. Go to the last option, and change the Option to the last option like below (Mine's customized):

Attachment 74561

Any field that is marked as such should show up in the lower quadrant (if you are using this plugin) as well as show up in the extra profile page (using the parent plugin).

I got that far, PMing you login info so I can stop fumbling words trying to explain.

It´s impossible, i don´t know because it can´t work....

I persevere

fmntprsv, did you imoprt the plugin?

Dinatius, no idea, something's just missing. undo the steps and re-do them.

Couldn't figure it out, but I wanted to work on searchable along with the display - if there's interest I may look into putting it up as an add-on module for vba.

Yes wired1 i´m was importing the plugin, and doesn´t work. A pity because it needed to operate. But I am unable

D: What do you mean "along with the display"?

fmntprsv: Don't know what to tell you.

I have the extra options mod installed, and it was working fine.

Tried installing this (following instructions up to the popup menu bit, didnt want that) but then when attempting to view a member profile i get a blank page.

So i turned off this plugin and profiles work again.... i'm thinking i've not got the values for the following correct:

I had 5 in the first one by default, and just put 'member.php' in the second and i assume thats where i've gone wrong...

My site is www.49CMD.com

If you follow the instructions and only skip the end of the instructions where it has the dropdown instructions, the memberpage should work fine, there's no editing like you mentioned in said instructions.

Hello Wired1,

I'll be installing this great hack once you release it for 3.7.

I have one question, you have your "My system Specs" in the postbit with a blue background. Do you have to have the small blue background, or can you just have it with the writing "My system Specs" and the drop down button?

Regards Jason :)

Excellent modification and will be installing once their is a version for 3.7.

Thanks, Paul.

I have answered this question from you last week in the parent plugin's thread. It is based upon your forum's template. The dropdown is completely vBulletin's code, and is not modified by myself in any way.

nice hack. i have this and the other one working together just fine except for one thing, it doesnt display the custom fields on the profile page. drop down works perfect. extra options editing page works perfectly. any suggestions?

What do i put in the box "Plugin PHP Code" when adding the new plugin?

Did you edit the page like the instructions say?


You don't create the plugin. Go to Download / Upload Plugins and Import it.

/me anxiously awaits the 3.7 version

Sorted. Please excuse me. Thankyou for these mods, they are perfect for my site. :)

Thanks, please hit install! :)

im 100% positive i did it right but its not showing up, the group memberships section is now blank, its not showing the custom fields for some reason!

Have you marked profile fields as the new type of profile field?

what do you mean?

in admincp i add a new field and for display page i choose options: extra options.

i did file edits right, i mean the stuff that was in the membergroups area is now gone, but the custom fields i made wont show up.

Got a link to your forum? You have entered in information for said profile fields in your UserCP right?

http://xboxnode.com/beta/zone/member.php?u=1

and yes i added the info, i went into userCP and click on extra options as its titled and enter data into the fields i created, like i said it just doesnt show up for some reason, i can past the code to my memberinfo template if you want...

yup. i followed the instructions 3 times and all 3 times nothing..

Yeah, PM me the template.


Try disabling other plugins. Got a link to your forum?

i pm'ed u the template a few days ago, did u check it out?

Sorry, thought PM Notification via Email was on, it wasn't.

MEMBERINFO template in the PM looks fine. I think it's working though, as I see on the member page listed above a block called XBOX with some profile info. Can you confirm this? If so, have you changed anything, and if so, what?

For some reason, when I add <hook>member_extras</hook> inside of /includes/xml/hooks_vbulletin.xml, it doesn't create another hook. And nothing "extra" shows up in my profile either. I have installed the first hack with the xml file as well as all of the other changes. I have no clue as to why it isn't working.

The dropdown menu is working just fine.

Didn't see this post before I made my last one. But this is the same problem I'm having.

What version of vB do you have?

3.6.9

I'm having a problem. Everything is looking fine and working well, except for the Memberinfo page, it looks fine until data is entered and it then breaks the format and the data is displayed all over the place.

Could it be my memberinfo template?

Here is a user with no info, 100%
http://www.marineaquariumsa.com/member.php?u=770

Here is my profile with info added - :(
http://www.marineaquariumsa.com/member.php?u=1

Haven't tested on that yet. I'll see what I can do, but I don't recall reading anything in it that would affect this mod.


Looks like the edit was done wrong. Revert the template and try again.

Great Hack !!!!

I have installed everything and made all the code changes. - It works perfectly.

one question.

How do i change the title of the section in the usercp ?

Currently its called "Extra Options" I would like to call it "Experience"

I run a photography forum and this drop down menu is perfect for showing peoples photography experience. But it will be confusing in the usercp if its called "Extra options".

thanks in advance

Ive clicked installed !!!!!
