Profile Enhancements - Extra Profile Fields Page

Note to all: Yes I will be upgrading this mod if needed to work with vB 4.0, but not before it goes gold on or around the ETA of December 21st. I personally wouldn't recommend anyone upgrade their forum for a couple weeks after it comes out so that the modding community has a chance to test their code on the gold version.

=========================

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

NOTE: No code changes have been made from v3.0.1 for vB 3.7.x to v3.1.0 for vB 3.8.x.

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. You would need to install the Extra Profile Fields Tab addon to do this.


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):

# of php page edits: 1 (admincp/profilefield.php)
# of new templates: 1 (page)

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!

Looks good will try now

Hey, fantastic stuff. Much appreciated

However I may be being an idiot but how do I change the name. I know it says change the vB Phrase but where...and to what?

I've found edit_extra_options in the edited template but I've tried changing everything I could think of. Do I add something before it? After it? Change the title itself? I've tried several different methods.

Thanks for any help.

Update

Me being stupid it seems, just seen there is a phrase section in the admin area. Was looking in the wrong place.

Many thanks for the mod

Actually, again this may be me being dense but can you add two or more tabs? If so how? Thanks.

shrian: please hit install to get support.

AshleyTwo: This mod does not create tabs. If you are asking about the add on, please post a more detailed question / scenario post in that thread.

is it possible to add additional pages ?

[Wired1]

If you rename the product file and rename all of the variables and whatnot, yes. Ultimately it's not a great way to do it though. Currently revamping the whole mod to make this MUCH easier. It can be done w/ categories to a certain extent, but it's ultimately going to be a new DB table. Doing it cleanly is a pain though.

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. One simple question, how do I add a link to the postbit to go directly to the new tab in the profile?

The closest I can get is with the automatic addon which shows the category name and drops down to show the added profile title but not the content the user has posted.
