Extra Profile Fields Page

This is the 3.5.x version of Zachery's hack by the same name. (linkage)


3.6.0 version: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123253


This hack will add an extra page to the User CP. This area can be used for extra profile fields that for one reason or another you would like to split from the main list.

Personally, I use this page for PC specs, but it can also be used for other specs as well (e.g. cars). I have the specs in a dropdown list under the user title in each user's post, as well as in their profile page, but that's another hack You can see my 3.0.x hack for that here, and the 3.5.x hack for it here.

Here's some examples of how I use this hack (with the Add-On hack, Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts):

http://www.houseofhelp.com/v2/member.php?u=15

NOTE: The above 2 links show the results of another hack I did that's based upon this one. In otherwords, this hack doesn't add dropdowns in posts, and doesn't hack the member page to display the extra options in a new area. For that, install the Add-On hack, Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts.

# of plugin hooks: 1
# of php page edits: 3 (or 4)
# of new templates: 1
# of template edits: 1
# of new phrases: 2

The "successfully saved" and extra option search are not tested, but they should both work.

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!.

I have installed but I don't see the link "edit system spec".
I didn't understant this in the installation file:

Add New Phrase

// This adds the label of the edit button in the User CP

Varname = edit_extra_options
Text = Edit Extra Options

// This adds the label for the extra options page within the profile
Varname = extra_options
Text = Extra Options

is it important ?

OOPS I'm tired, that's right.
But the true problem is when I click on my "edit extra options" button, I have a white page like this


Thanks for your help

i run into the same problem, but doing the whole install with the new template called "page" instead of "extra" worked for me.

Yes , in fact my new template was called "Page", I have modified for "page" and I get that now:


Now, I search how I can add fields :ermm:

If you mean the system specs, as I stated, that effect came from another hack using the fields created from this hack. The hack is a 3.0.x hack I did, but it still works (although I am going to update it). here is a link to that hack

You add the profile fields just like it has in the manual.

AdminCP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field -> (select Profile Field Type) ->

Where it says "Display Page" (at the bottom), it asks "Which page displays this option?" Select Options: Extra Options, or Options: ($vbphrase[extra_options])

As for the page being blank, that is normal. Once you add new profile fields into the above area (or edit an existing one and move it there), it should show up.

Try it with one of the default profile fields (just remember to move it back later so as not to confuse your member base).

Thanks it works now.
But is it possible to screen this fields on user profile like this for example:

gael11: Do you mean like this?


pipin: me too Now that I guess I've taken over the 3.5.0 version of Zachary's hack, I could.

I'll try to do the 3.5.0 version of my profile hack this weekend. Most of the code didn't change, except for some PHP code being slightly changed, and moved into a hook.

Setting up the AdminCP stuff for both hacks will be the next big hurdle.
