Profile Enhancements - 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:

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.

I've probably done something wrong, because now every user that registers to my forum has by DEFAULT the first field filled in with the default [extra_options] phrase I'm using.

I've tried to find the solution but came up empty. Can you please assist where this problem would reside? Thanks.


Edit: never mind, I figured it out.

I can't get this to work, I have gone over the instructions for both of your hacks 3 times and verified the code is in the right place and the plugins/products are imported.

It works to the point of showing up the links in the USER CP, I create a new profile field and it does not show up in the user profile or CP to even enter the values.

Also the dropdown does not show up in the post. I don't get it?

Any help you can give would be great. Otherwise I guess I will just uninstall it because I am honestly lost.

TIA.

About the User CP: when you create the new profile field, do you select at the bottom the "options:extra options" at the Display Page part?

About the dropdown, did you insert the code in the correct postbit template? for example, I do not use the "postbit" template, but the "postbit_legacy", so I inserted the code there.

And it should be great, if you help to set up the search through this fields, by Advanced Memberlist Search...

VC = Virtual Console, as in the Wii?

The problem you have is with the other plugin, not this one. Please post in that one (and delete your post here) so that the threads are better organized for readers. Please answer in the new post if you have set the new profile field to be in the Extra Options group (which is what Defkalion asked). Also, does it show up in te Extra Profile Field Page?

No, i mean summary, for human resource services.

But it doesn't matter.

I just want to know, how can include this extra profile field in search page on memberlist?
Now I can only include the fields from "Edit profile" zone.

curriculum vitae, gotcha

It requires further hacking of the members list. I think in the 3.5.x version, I had some untested code at the end of the instructions that would do this, but I don't think it fully worked.

Can I ask someone Help

Thank you

[Wired1]

Did you do this step in the instructions? If so, is the field ID in that code the same as the field ID of the field named test1?

vB AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> (Select Style) -> Postbit Templates -> postbit

FIND:

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

After it post:

<!-- 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 PC Specs</td>
</tr>

<if condition="$post['field5']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option">Motherboard: $post[field5]</td></tr>
</if>
</table>
</div>
<!-- / post specs_menu -->
