Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts

NOTE: After checking out the vBulletin 3.7 First Look thread, which contains significant changes to the Member Profile page, it is clear that this mod as-is will probably not work properly when it comes to displaying the Extra Profile Info on that page. As soon as an official 3.7 comes out, I'll start working on the changes.

The 3.5.x version of this hack can be found here.

This hack builds upon my Extra Profile Fields Page hack. This template mod lets you take the extra fields from that hack and places them within a dropdown that sits below the user's title within each post, as well as replaces the Group Memberships area with a listing of only these specs. The EPFP hack is basically the entry form for the data that's manipulated in this hack. Please check out the pics at the EPFP hack link to get the full idea.

In my case, it is used for PC specs (and as you will see the instructions are tailored towards this), however it can be easily used for parts or specifications of almost anything (car parts for example).

An example is shown here:
http://www.houseofhelp.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=39826

Example of user profile with specs:
http://www.houseofhelp.com/forums/member.php?userid=15

# of plugin hooks: 1
# of php page edits: 1 (just 1 line to add the custom hook line into member.php)
# of template edits: 3
# of phrase edits: 1

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

Support will only be given to people who have hit install.

Also, please post where you've installed this, as I'd like to see how people are using it. Or if guests can't see the effects, then please post a pic.

Can the selections be made clickable to a url that opens in a new window ?

Wired1

08-07-2006 09:38 PM

Not with this mod. All the selections are just user profiles. If Jelsoft ever lets profile fields become links, or you find a hack that gives you this option, then it should work fine automatically.

In the 3.5 version you list the hook contents, but not in 3.6. ??

Yeah, didn't feel there was a reason to, as you can read the XML code or read the plugin from the admincp.

I can't figure why the pulldown menu doesn't open.

You gave me a scare there. :confused:

It is in one postbit and not the other. I'm going to go to sleep and try again when I am awake. Thanks for your help.

Great Modification. One question though; when using a 'multiple-line' text box, is it possible for the contents to be displayed vertically rather than horizontally in the drop-down box within posts?

Cheers,

Thanks! I'll have to poke around in the code, see what I can find out.

Thanks, really appreciate that.

I'm using it to allow members to list their collection, some of which are quite lengthy. When allowed to do so in the horizontal format; the drop-down box is off limits to the page.

Example Here

Adam.

I deleted all products and started from scratch.

Code:

after

<if condition="$post['rank']"><div class="smallfont">$post[rank]</div></if>

added

<!-- post specs_menu -->

<if condition="$post['field7']">

        <div id="specs_$post[postid]" class="vbmenu_control">

                <a href="#specs">$post[username]'s ti Garage</a> 

                <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("specs_$post[postid]"); </script>

        </div>

</if>

<!-- / post specs_menu -->



after

<!-- / post $post[postid] popup menu -->

added

<!-- post specs_menu -->

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="specs_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none">

        <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">

        <tr>

                <td class="thead">$post[username]'s garage</td>

        </tr>

        <if condition="$post['field7']">

                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option">Year: $post[field7]</td></tr>

        </if>

        <if condition="$post['field8']">

                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option">Model: $post[field8]</td></tr>

        </if>

        <if condition="$post['field9']">

                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option">Color: $post[field9]</td></tr>

        </if>

        <if condition="$post['field10']">

                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option">Mods: $post[field10]</td></tr>

        </if>

</div>

<!-- / post specs_menu -->

and this is what I got. When not selected there is only one post per page.

I removed the code so not to screw up my board.

Yes, although it depends on some other things. Do you want a seperate entry page? If not, then simply repeat the last two steps of the instruction file with whatever you'd like in the second dropdown. If you do want a seperate entry page, then some minor code edits have to be made to the plugins, products, and instructions, just so no variables conflict basically.

Just tried it on postbit_legacy on my test server, worked fine. May want to try turning off all other plugins, then see how it works. Assuming it does, enable a plugin one by one to see which one does it.

Is it possible to have url links in these dropdown rows? Also I want it only for the admin usergroup.

Wired1

08-13-2006 05:32 AM

Links: No.

You'd have to place conditionals around the last two steps in the instructions. They are the ones that place the dropdowns in the posts.

Why only admins though?

ssvp	08-13-2006 01:20 PM

Code:

<!-- post specs_menu -->

<if condition="$post['field5']">

        <div id="specs_$post[postid]" class="vbmenu_control">

                <a href="#specs">$post[username]'s PC Specs</a> 

                <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("specs_$post[postid]"); </script>

        </div>

</if>

<!-- / post specs_menu -->

How can I change this so rather than displaying the user's name again. It would just display "My Gear".

I actually was able to remove the username, but the size of the "My Gear" background seemed to change depending on the length of the username.

Wired1

08-14-2006 02:09 AM

Code:

<a href="#specs">$post[username]'s PC Specs</a>

change to

Code:

<a href="#specs">My Gear</a>

Hi, did you have any joy in getting the field entries to display vertically rather than horizontally ??

My guess as to why it happens was dead on. It's stored as a single string with \r\n for character returns. Problem is, vB strips them before I can get access to them. I know of one way to get around it, BUT... it involves recoding the whole hack and creating a new table in the database just for these fields. A little excessive IMHO.

hrm....

GREAT WORK! Your two profile mods are great. I really appreciate it. I made a dumb mistake and started feeling real dumb, but it was just I forgot to save a file before uploading it. lol

I'll have screenshots soon.

Hi Wired1
First I had to tank you for this hack, but I got a little problem
I want to use Checkboxes for the hardware (Picture 1)
In Profil everything works fine (Picture 2)
But in Dropdown there it is wrong (Picture 3)
Are you able to help?
Thanks a lot, Mike

Arach:
I'll have to look into it when I get back later next week, but I believe vB's template format will prevent it, as there's no way to code it. If so, I may have to recode the whole thing to get around both limitations. It wasn't designed for loooooooooooong strings, mainly just for easy access to information that could be relevant in any post, for example, computer rigs.

alluidh:
WTF? First guess would be that you've got a typo in the dropdown code, although I haven't attempted to replicate the issue yet. Don't recall having an issue with the test bed though. I'll attempt to replicate it when I get back. Please hit INSTALL.

Nice Hack!

I submit following proposal: It would be nice, if a pictures could be placed in a user-field. This pic should be loaded via AJAX when the dropdown-info is opened. That would be a nice upgrade of this hack.

Greetings,
Chriss

This hack won't work on 3.0.1 though :)

That would require a different hack.
