Profile Enhancements - Extra Profile Fields Page

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

You can find the 3.6.x version of this hack here.

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. A mod I'll release later on will create a tab for them, fully editable like the "About Me" tab.

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):

In 3.7.3 PL1 version this mod don't work!

A sintax error is showed when i try to click my "AdminCp/Manage Users field"

I don't see "Manage Users" in the AdminCP. Is it under somewhere else? Have you reinstalled the mod? No one else has reported this.

All I get when I installed in 3.7.3 PL 1 a blank white page in the AdminCP/UserProfile Field/

*Uninstalled it for now*

[Wired1]

It's not my mod doing that. Just installed 3.7.3 PL1 on my clean test bed, followed ALL of the instructions, works fine.

e.g. "miserables" don't have the option for this page and no profile tabs
(of this extra page) from miserables are shown.
