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.

Not to nag.
I had this on 3.6 but upgraded to 3.7.0

Any updates on the new version?

3.7.0 version of the dropdown part of this mod is now out:

The tab part that works in conjunction with the Extra Profile Field Page mod is done, just gotta clean up some code, so I'm working on that right now, should be out within an hour or so, no promises though!

See, this is why you should hit the INSTALL BUTTON. When UPDATES are sent out, you are notified of them.

About a year from last post, But any way. There are any new coding for 3.8.x?!

I have problem with this section of instructions:

vB AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> (Select Style) -> Member Info Templates -> MEMBERINFO

Change the vB Phrase [group_memberships] to whatever you would like the title of the new area to be.
Example: System Specs

OR if you would like the extra options page and this quadrant to have the same title, change // This adds the label for the extra options page within the profile,

change:
<td class="tcat" width="50%">$vbphrase[group_memberships]</td>

to:
<td class="tcat" width="50%">$vbphrase[extra_options]</td>



FIND:
<if condition="$show['membergroups']">
<dl id="membergroups_list" class="smallfont">
$membergroupbits
</dl>
<else />
<div class="smallfont"><strong><phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[x_is_not_a_member_of_any_public_groups]</phrase></strong></div>
</if>


REPLACE WITH:

<if condition="$show['extrainfo']">
<dl id="additionalinfo_list">
$customfields2
</dl>
<else />
<div class="smallfont"><strong><phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[n_a]</phrase></strong></div>
</if>

Yes and no. This mod is incompatible with 3.7.x and 3.8.x because of the radical change to the member page. However, new mods were made to place a tab on the member page, and a separate one just for dropdown. Check my profile for links.

Will you be doing a VB4 one, and if so, just a ballpark when please
