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):

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!.

When you use this hack, it removes the specified profiles from the member.php. If you're looking for the fields to show up in the bottom right quadrant, you need to install the associated hack:

I'm having a problem. Profile fields won't show up on the extra options page. I've tried making a new profile field and setting it to go in there. I've also tried moving a default profile field into the extra options page. What could be the problem?

Does it disappear when you move it, in otherwords does it move from their member page into oblivion, or does it stay where it is?

What vB version do you have? Have you done all the steps in the text file?

[Jeordie015]

If I move a profile field from Edit Profile into the Extra Options, it will disappear from Edit Profile.

I'm running vB3.5.4. And I believe I've done everything required in the text file. Going to the Extra Options page just shows a collapsed table where the fields should be, if that tells you anything.

Dunno, got me! Got any other hacks installed? If so, may want to disable one plugin at a time and see if one of them causes the problem.

Post (or PM me) the URL to the site and I'll set up a test account (unless you have one already). Only thing else I can really suggest would be to uninstall the product, reverse the text hacks, and re-do it.

[Jeordie015]

Well, I do have quite a few hacks installed, but I disabled all the ones I thought might be the problem and it didn't help.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that didn't work either. But I might have overlooked something twice.

Do you need to be an admin to see/fix the problem?

May need it, don't know yet.

Which Edit page is the hack? Account is test.

Alright, I got it. It was my fault. I missed the functions_user.php edit apparently.

I do have a question though. My extra profile fields page is going to be for video game online usernames and codes. Is there some way I can make groups in this page the same way the Edit Options page does? Like it has Login & Privacy, Messaging & Notification, etc.
