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:

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

Have you done the last step in the instruction file? (check the PM on your forum).

You gave me a scare there.

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.

Works fine for me when I check out that post, I take it you got it fixed? Was it just a typo, or missing code, or something else?

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,
Adam.

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

I deleted all products and started from scratch.

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.
