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):

If you followed the INSTRUCTIONS, yes. To be specific, you need to do the manual edits in the instruction file.

I did those edits and went back over them a second time to make sure they were right. I would love to download your other mod too so I can get that drop down menu in users postbits, but I am stuck right now....

Can you tell me exactly where I should see the Extra Options link? Maybe I am simply overlooking it....sorry

[Wired1]

I put pictures up which should explain everything (probably put up around when you were initially posting your question).

is sufficient I think. Now that I see the change, I'll probably wait till the next product version update to add that, as no one's mentioned it in years

agreed!

I figured out why it would not show up.

The Extra Options link in the userCP will not show up if you have the UserCP icons hack installed: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=170558

Once I disabled those icons, it worked just fine. Is there anyway I can make this work with the icons enabled?

Very well done!

His mod does much more than just add icons, it replaces the UserCP with its own template. You'd have to edit that new UserCP template.

Please hit INSTALL as well (TBH, no idea what the use of tagging is).

Can you link me to that mod please.
