Extra Profile Fields Page
 

This is the 3.5.x version of Zachery's hack by the same name. (linkage)


3.6.0 version: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123253


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 can see my 3.0.x hack for that here, and the 3.5.x hack for it here.

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

NOTE: The above 2 links show the results of another hack I did that's based upon this one. In otherwords, this hack doesn't add dropdowns in posts, and doesn't hack the member page to display the extra options in a new area. For that, install the Add-On hack, Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts.

# of plugin hooks: 1
# of php page edits: 3 (or 4)
# of new templates: 1
# of template edits: 1
# of new phrases: 2

The "successfully saved" and extra option search are not tested, but they should both work.

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!.

I will report back when I get home and try it

I think this was just what I was looking for :)

Ummmm... Pics please. :)

little screens please

great, exactly what i need :)

seems there are some things missing: $vbphrase[edit_system_specs] at
least.

Edit: must be: $vbphrase[edit_extra_options]

profile.php?do=extra doesnt list the extra fields

hack works, other than the fact that vB seems to have a real nasty time saving a new template with the name "extra". Other than that, some template cleanups "system specs"?? and its all set.

Thanks a bunch!

Bah, I thought I may have missed something. I'll fix it in a couple of min. Going to put new template name back to page, and fix the vB phrases.

Ok, fixed. Sorry about that, I was sort of reverse engineering it from what I did to my site.
