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!

i have a very strange problem since i updatet from 3.7.x to 3.8.x.

i m using TMS together with this hack. i decided to deinstall this hack from our forums beacause it was not used very often.
i removed the Template edits and the the product. but now i till have the Extra Profile Fileds when new users try to register on the page.

i don't know how to remove them.

could someone please help me out with this?
i have no clue where i have to look for in this kind of problem.

It has nothing to do with the mod. You have enabled the profile fields to show upon registration. Turn that off for each profile field.

[U.K.Visuals]

thanks for your answer.

this was also my first idea, but i have no more profile fileds defined in the forums.
the page with the extra fields is empty?!

[Wired1]

If you didn't change the profile fields back to a normal edit page before uninstalling the mod, you'll have to reinstall the mod in order to see the profile fields in the AdminCP again. After removing the fields from registration, change them back to normal edit pages, and then uninstall it again.

if i install the mod again the userfilds are still not showing in the AdminCP.

can i remove the fileds somehow in the SQL DB or something like that?
i have filed01 to field33 which i'm not using anymore.

[Wired1]

You need to edit the php files again. You could remove the info via the DB, but I'd recommend just editing the PHP, and then deleting the file from the User Profile Field Manager.

[U.K.Visuals]

i did the edits on the PHP files, but i still have no possibility to remove it beacause the option for the extra field is not visible in the Profileflied page.

[Wired1]

Re-do the whole installation. There's something missing. Either an edit, or the XML file itself.

[U.K.Visuals]

ahhh... it worked. i think the porblem was that i used the file from 3.7 instead of 3.6 for removing the fileds.
thanks a lot for your help!

I'm thinking this could be what I'm after - but I need to ask a few questions before I install.

1) How do I do a Date field?
(drop-down calendar array like in the Calendar where fieldname is date1[month] date1[day] date1[year] // or is there a cool dropdown calendar class?)

2) How can I make it so that "adds" fields as they need them?
(i.e. like adding a new row with the same column headings)

Is this possible?
