Extra Profile Fields Tab
 

Note to all: Yes I will be upgrading this mod if needed to work with vB 4.0, but not before it goes gold on or around the ETA of December 21st. I personally wouldn't recommend anyone upgrade their forum for a couple weeks after it comes out so that the modding community has a chance to test their code on the gold version.

Hey Wired, tried to install, but I'm getting this error message

I have 3.8.1 installed...

Download the product file again and upload it, fixed a typo.

Great Mod (together with Extra Profile Fields Page of course ;) )

There are just two tiny things i?m missing...

First, it would be perfect if the users could use their privacy settings on this extra-tab , like for any other tab on the profile.

Second, i have my profile fields ordered in multiple categories. Two of these categories are shown in the extra tab. It would be a good thing if the name of the categorie could be displayed before the first field of this category.

I just downloaded this product and I have this error:eek:

I use VB 3.8.1 PL1. What is wired1_epfp?

Thanks for the fix, and great mod. :)

1. Never used the privacy settings myself, I'll look into it. I built the tab straight from the article here.
2. Do you have an example of this?


The product linked to and mentioned in the top of this thread. This is an add-on to that mod.

Great mod. , thank you!

Installed

Not installed, you need to hit the INSTALL button on the thread. You too gator and exyuteam :)

Is there a way to add anything into this tab ? I would like to publish each users wordpress articles in there by using rss feed ?

Thanks

Hello Wired1
Great job, nice hack !

my question
By default, the extra tab is the last one on the right of the bar. would it be possible to place it at the 3rd place, after the "Additional Information" one ?

I don't know how to make it...:confused:

Thanks

Please hit install for support.

It's possible I'd imagine, but you'd have to recode the tab. I'd recommend reading the article here on how to create a tab, and then modify it to what you need.


You can only place new tabs before or after the default ones, not in the middle as per the hook locations.

Thank you for this good mod !

Cant install..get the following error..

The following dependencies were not met:

1. The product wired1_epfp must be installed before this product may be installed. (Compatible starting with 3.0.0)

The error contains the solution, as does the description of this mod...

Please hit install.

open file product-extratab.xml and find

replace

That is not correct. His problem is that he doesn't have the EPFP product installed...

What does that have to do with this?

the above error message during installation of plug-in was reported. I changed a line in the file if it will fix the problem wrote. That's it. I think I got it wrong I want to tell you.

When you got that error, did you have EPFP installed?

Yes, I've uploaded for testing. The first load I saw this error. The code I provided above was compared with the change.

Any news about that?

I think it?s really important since members can choose the privacy-setting for everything else in the profilepage.

O guess it won´t matter if i´, asking or not.... *sigh*

Any news about the privacy-settings?

Thanks for the bump, forgot about that :) Reading up on it right now.

Actually, just tested it, and it worked for me. I marked a field on my test bed as private, and guests were no longer able to see it on the tab. Do you have the permissions set correctly in the usergroup manager?

Category titles now show up as of v1.1.2.

1. Privacy Settings won´t work for me. I´ve set the two categories on "friends only" and any guest can see them.
Wich settings in the usergroup-manager should i change or take a look at?

2.The category titles are showing up at the profilpage, but not in die user-CP.

1. FYI to all, if you're running 3.8.1 you can't set permissions to categories. Apparently it worked in 3.8.0, broken in 3.8.1 (line of code went missing), and was fixed in 3.8.2. My test bed is of course 3.8.1 lol!

There's currently no way to enable privacy settings on custom tabs. A hook request was posted in January to extend the privacy settings, and I bumped it today.

2. To clarify, you are asking for the EPFP page to show categories? If so, that's something I've been working on, but haven't been able to get on the EPFP page as of yet. I'm getting closer though :)

Ok, so i just have to wait and hope for the best :)

Hopefully they fix it in vB 4.0.

Is there anyway to hide the fields that haven't had anything imputed into them? Thanks :)

YOU can see those fields in your own profile, but you can't see empty fields in the profiles of others.

Hmmm...

I've run into an issue and not sure what's causing it. I use vb 3.8.3 and created custom profile fields for a user's PC Specs. While the PC Specs category is in my Admin CP/User Profile Fields/User Profile Field Categories...I don't see any of the fields there...just the category.

I can edit the category...but don't see where to edit the fields currently in that category.

Any suggestions?

Regardless of category the fields should still be available to edit in the Extra Profile Fields page.

So where is the Extra Profiles Field Page in the Admin Control Panel?

I need to modify a field by adding an additional radio button to that particular field.

Oh, I thought you meant the user couldn't edit it. All fields should still be under the User Profile Field Manager.

I know...but they're not there. The PC Specs is in the User Profile Field Category Manager...and it states there's 18 fields there, but for the life of me do not see them anywhere.

Not a clue. What changed recently?
