Extra Profile Fields Page
 

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.

=========================

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

NOTE: No code changes have been made from v3.0.1 for vB 3.7.x to v3.1.0 for vB 3.8.x.

This product will add a new page to the User CP for easy editing of specially marked profile fields, that for one reason or another you would like to split off from the main list.

NOTE: Any fields marked for this page will not be seen in the user's profile. You would need to install the Extra Profile Fields Tab addon to do this.


After the product is FULLY installed, when a you want to move a profile field to the new page for easy editing:

1. Go to the AdminCP and edit the field as normal.
2. At the bottom in the Display Page area, you will see "Which page displays this option?" The last option should say Options: $vbphrase[extra_options].
3. Save!

Personally, I use this page for PC specs, but it can also be used for other specs as well (e.g. cars). With an ADDITIONAL product (e.g. NOT this one), I place these specs in a dropdown list under the user title in each user's post, as well as in their profile as an extra tab.

Here's some examples of how I use this mod (with the Add-On mod, Extra Profile Fields Tab, and a separate mod, Profile Fields in a Postbit Dropdown):

Wired...

I'm not getting the link in the UserCP...

Followed the directions to edit the USERCP_SHELL and the profilefield.php templates/file, but it's not displaying the link to "Edit Extra Options".

Update...

Never mind Wired...I found a mod I have installed that conflicts with your mod. It's the User CP Icons mod. I just disabled that mod and this is working fine, now.

Ain't no thing, but a chicken wing...

Just to double check, if we had this mod (and the others that go along with it) installed with vb 3.x, then upgraded to vb 3.8, and it still works, no need to install this new mod, correct? We should be find to just mark this mod as installed and the other version (for 3.7 and the like) as uninstalled.

Am I thinking correctly?

Correctamundo.

On the profile tab section how it says "Extra Options" how can i change the the text to something else? Cheers

Great mod. , thank you!

Hit install for support guys :) Ziggy, your question is answered and shown above as well.
