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):

The install process should only take 5 minutes at most.

This post has the solution for anyone having the icons hack problem that I was having:

No problemo!

BTW, to those of you who use this mod, and don't use the dropdown / tab mods, what DO you use it for?

My website allows users to share friend codes. I have a separate profile field for the DS and the Wii.


http://www.friendcodes.com/forums/members/1/corey.html (friend codes block)

http://www.friendcodes.com/forums/si...-complete.html (my friendcodes button under signature)

I have a custom page in the usercp that members use to submit the data.

The ability to add extra profile categories helps us allot, and is mostly what I use this mod for.

Cool idea!

I used it to fix an issue with the "timeslips" hack I had installed way back when I had Vb3.0.
After upgrading to 3.7.0, I lost the "edit vehicle profile" function in that hack. (It would take a selected block of custom fields for a timeslip database and make it so the user could edit them as a group separate from the regular profile)
The sorting still worked, however the user had to sort thru all custom fields to change anything with the timeslip hack. Your hack allowed me to re-create the "Edit your Vehicle Profile Info" function (with working link to same) and I edited the phrases to suit my needs. So I guess I am using this as a "patch" for another hack and it was just what I needed....

I'll use the rest of it when you finish/release it....

Hello.

Can this be used as a dropdown user info such as to show :

- member userid
- member additional usergroup
- other info I want to be shown

Thank's

This mod is not a dropdown, so... NO. It's clearly only for PROFILE FIELDS. I have a different mod for dropdown (which I've gotta upload tonight, after some forum work).
