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):

1. This mod just moved profile field edit areas around, so if it isn't a default option, it's something you'd have to code yourself.

2. Clarify / see above?

Thanks - so some custom coding is what I need

[Wired1]

For # 1 yes. Not sure what you meany by # 2. Note that this is the 3.7.x version. There's a 3.8.x version as well.

Layout Issue and Searchable Fields?

I have some layout issues in both FF and IE8 when viewing the "Edit Extra Options" page.

1. In FF the profile field boxes are pushed to the right of the page and multi-line boxes show outside the right border a little. (See screenshot)

2. In IE8 a similar layout problem is seen. Again the boxes are pushed to the right. (see screenshot)

MAJOR PROBLEM:
3. All my fields that are moved to this extra page are no longer searchable on the members list even though they are set that way! This is a major problem. How can I get these fields that are moved to be searchable again???

THANKS!

1. There's no screenshot.
2. I can't duplicate your issue in FF v3.5.2.

U updated my post to have the screenshots. What I get for posting so late at night! The fields are pushed to the right in FF and IE. I need them set to the left border. My fields at 80 wide.

What version of FF do you have?

The fields are so long probably because of the profile field settings per field.
