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 have a 3.6.x version of this on your forum and are running 3.7.0, please uninstall it via running backwards through the old instructions, and then follow the Install instructions.

To Install:
1) Save the attached product-wired1_epfp.xml file.
2) Navigate to AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product]
3) Browse to wherever you saved the file.
4) Allow Overwrite -> Yes.
5) Import!
6) Follow the instructions for the manual edits (1 template edit, 1 PHP page edit)

The install process should only take 5 minutes at most.

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

Support will only be given to people who have hit install.

Can anyone help here please?

Ive got the mod working but the 'extra option' profile fields are not showing up in the Admin CP once I have created them.
So, if I create a field called 'test' and put it in the Extra Options group, it shows up fine in the users control panel and in the drop down from the username (different mod I know) but when I got to 'User Profile Fields' in the admin CP it does not show in there?

So ID number 5 is currently missing from there, and also 6 and 7?

Please tell me how I can find them or get them back because I want to delete 2 of them that were only for testing

thanks

Ooops

My bad

I missed the final edit of the text file

find
5 => "$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[other]", (line 1247 of the default 3.7.0 file)
add under
6 => "$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[extra_options]",

that will serve me right for staying up too late
Thanks. Thats sorted it!

Wired1, are you pulling your hair out yet?

Great mod, Thank You for sharing it.
How hard would it be to make the contents of the Extra Profile Fields Tab, clickable? I have other uses for the addon. I did download & install the Dropdown in Postbit, it works great, but it wont work for me unless the drop down contents are clickable. Leaving the Extra Profile Fields Tab in place is working great for me, but wish they were clickable to send members and guest to external pages. I have tried a few ideas to get it to function they way I wish it to, but I cant seem to get it right. I will keep trying. Thanks

Please remove your post and place it in the correct thread!

Have the multiple tabs been implemented yet? I took the easy way out and just duplicated the code to get multiple tabs, but I would rather have everything done the "correct way" if at all possible. What's the downside of doing it the easy way?

I'm also curious when the multiple tab option will be available.

no where does your readme mention a new template. Am I missing something.

Also how can I set it up to its own panel. (etc. Your Profile, Networking, Settings and Options, Private Messages...) Its own section in the User CP

[Wired1]

multiple tabs in the ADVANCED format: nowhere enough responses for me to re-code the whole setup for it, but either way, the tabs are a different mod.

The template is built into the product, and as such, there is no need to mention it in the instructions.
