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):

Hi Wired1,

I was just wondering how you are doing with the VB4 version of this?

Thanks,

Dave.

i need to put conditionals around this

Can you tell me which parts would need conditionals to hide both the new tab and if that is hidden would the normal option just reappear in the left nav ? if so where do i need to add conditionals to hide this also

Thanks

T

EDIT

i just realised i posted this in the extra profile fields thread instead of extra profiles fields "TAB" thread

Please pretend this is in the other thread as they kind of join together anyway

????????????

Nothing's hidden in the first place, so if you put a conditional around the edit in the USERCP_SHELL template, the page will disappear. If there's no data in there, the tab won't show up.

As it states in the main post, please hit install.

ok i have clicked install now

the page is still showing with no data in there.

When you say no data do you mean no answers to the options or actually no questions in there?

UPDATE

I think what i need to do is put conditionals around the template edits i had to make in profilefields.php

Can you advised if these edits can be made within the normal vbulletin template files in style manager instead of in the actual php file?

If not could you point me in the right direction to somewhere that could guide me on how to do this.

No data = no page.

Throw conditionals at the beginning and end of the templates in the product.

Nah, I seem to randomly get the updates from this thread.
