Extra Profile Fields Page
 

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS for those upgrading to vB 3.6.10!!!

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=269

EVERYONE: PLEASE BE CRYSTAL CLEAR IN WHAT ISSUES YOU ARE HAVING WITH THIS MOD IF YOU ARE USING IT IN 3.7.x! A 3.7.x version is already in the works.

------------------------------------------------------------

You can find the 3.5.x version of this hack here.

This hack will add an extra page to the User CP. This area can be used for extra profile fields that for one reason or another you would like to split from the main list.

Personally, I use this page for PC specs, but it can also be used for other specs as well (e.g. cars). I have the specs in a dropdown list under the user title in each user's post, as well as in their profile page, but that's another hack :) You'll see a link to it under Add-Ons to the right.

Here's some examples of how I use this hack (with the Add-On hack, Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts):

Just what I was looking for, thanks Wired1, installed. :)

Thanks! Please post back if you're doing something cool with the mod :)

sure thing bud, I'll keep you updated :)

in admincp it show me this message :(

my mistake. ignore the above reply!
nice hack ;)

Glad to hear :)

OK so i added it..but it's not showing up for pc specs...i.e. the specs not showing up in user profile

Read the first post on this thread again, wrong hack.

Thanks . it is good idea Mr Wired1

Aligator21, trinigamers, abosaleh, please hit INSTALL :)

I want this Extra Fields option and your other dropdown hack only for the Admin usergroup. Is this possible and how?

As in everyone can see their info, but no one outside of an admin can create it? For THIS hack, on the Hook: Extra Profile Page

after

you'd have to place another conditional for usergroups, to make sure they're an admin.

Thanks, can you please tell the code of that conditional? I am a novice in php and dont know how to code.

Hmm.. Installed BUT where does the PUBLIC part show up?

Do I have to manually add those to my profile or the postbit?

Install the Add-On hack listed above.

Thanks for the 3.6 version, just installed it on my newly-created forums.

http://www.metalgearsolidforums.com

I need to add multiple pages for different purposes.

I plan on having different usergroups fill out different sets of data.

I don't care if everyone can see and fill them out. They won't be used unless it's for the right user group.

So, how do I create additional pages?

thanks wired.. u gotta finish that zsp already lol

O.k the hack works but the second page I need to display under the profile also, how can I do that?

Thanks, nice hack

I just noticed something weird.
Since upgrading to vB 3.6 and 2.10, I can not see several additional profiles in the profile manager.

I know I have a profile number 10 sinc I use it elsewhere.
I don't recall if I had to name a set of new profile fields and that is why there are not appearing.

Edit: Never mind. I did not read all the instructions.
Note to self: Install mods when awake.

Can this be used to combine a number of profile pages into the main user's profile?

For example, my site has profiles for my classifieds script, photogalary, as well as the main forums. I would LOVE to be able to create one profile page that has some type of tab that would allow me to have a dingle profile page for my members...

I was going to code this myself when I found time but if this could do that I would be one happy webmaster!

i tried using the same method as the 3.5.4 version to make multiple pages, but the second page seems to display the same information as the first page (extra2). can you post a accurate file for those that want to use multiple pages? maybe i missed a link when i edited the .xml file.

Wired1 or anyone else who may know: how do I get this mod to do this (add webpage & guestbook to users' profiles)?

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!


Thank you

HOW TO ADD MULTIPLE PAGES:

I've attached EXAMPLES of modified instruction.txt and product.xml of what to change. ANYWHERE you see ###, INCLUDING the product name, change to whatever number you wish (but don't repeat in another extra page). I'd recommend editing the product and instructions first, and then follow them as normal.

Any questions? BTW, futuredood, please hit install :)

cool beans :)


That would not be this hack, sorry. Your idea is definitely possible, but beyond the scope of this hack.


This hack has nothing in common with that one, and that hack is for 3.0.x, so it may not even be compatible with 3.6.x.

*sigh* so, does that mean that you wouldn't know how to make something like that mod integrate with yours? I'm sorry, I know it's not the same as yours, I just thought it was along the same lines ... adding a new section to the profile. *shrug* If you have any suggestions, it'd be very much appreciated.

Thank you

That specific mod, no, as it's almost 2 years old, and vB's significantly changed since then. What version of vB do you have?

I'm adding to http://www.virginiareia.com. thank you.

just wondering how easy it would be to split the profile info so that there can be 2 user groups each of which has distinct profile info that they can record. essentially I have a board that "matchmakes" between 2 groups and I want to record separate info for each in the profile section.:confused:

got a link to your forum? do you two ACTUAL usergroups, and which each one has different profile fields, or all users have the same fields, but you want to split off one group of fields from another?

Hey wired1... I don't know about his forum, but the answer for me would be the second one: I have the same profile fields for everyone, but I just want to split the info evenly onto two different panels within the profile. oh, and i'm on vb6. thank you.

my site is http://www.gpmanagement.co.uk
currently I have managers signed up. i want to add in locum doctors who will offer them their services. essentially the locums will need to portray a set of fields ( price, terms etc) that the managers will view

Is this controlled by a template so I could customize the design? If so which one?

EDIT---------
Nevermind I found it. :-p

Its the Page template for those else who are wondering. :d

I am not having any luck changing "Edit Extra Options" to "Edit System Specs". Can you specify in more detail how to do that? I tried changing it in USERCP_SHELL, but that just made it disappear from the control panel.

Thanks for any help.

In otherwords, certain fields for certain user groups. This isn't a feature of vB, and as such would require additional hacking. Off the top of my head, here's the basic idea of what you'd have to do.

Create 2 pages, one for each set of hacks. Throw usergroup conditionals around the code that has the links for the edit <PAGE> in the UserCP.


What EXACTLY did you do? I'd guess you changed but didn't create the phrase, hence nothing shows up.

Is it possible to install another page and have it as a subpage for one you've previously added?
If so could you share some basic instructions on it?

define how you're envisioning a "sub-page".

ok.
One page has alot of info and there will be a button to say for more info click here and it will take you to a sub page with alot more info.

Also is it possible to put input fields on a page and a submit button at the bottom that turns all the fields filled in, into one big pm?

thanks for the advice above. another problem though...
from the drop down list that displays the extra fields, I have created a field that holds a url, in this case one to a member's google calendar. I want this link to open up a new browser window, but despite lots of tinkering I can't get it to do so, here is my code in the postbit template:

<if condition="$post['field14']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href= "$post[field14]" target="_blank">My Calendar from Google </a></td></tr>
</if>
this only brings up the link in the same browser window, which is annoying. it doesnt seem to be able to understand the target reference, and simply ignores it. any ideas?
thanks
