EVERYONE: PLEASE BE CRYSTAL CLEAR IN WHAT ISSUES YOU ARE HAVING WITH THIS MOD IF YOU ARE USING IT IN 3.7.x! A 3.7.x version is already in the works.

------------------------------------------------------------

You can find the 3.5.x version of this hack here.

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'll see a link to it under Add-Ons to the right.

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

I have had this isntalled for quite some time, but I have just recently noticed that the one field I wanted to be searchable isnt. When I look in the field manager in the AdminCP, the option for it to show up and be searchable is there and marked but when you look in the members list, it doesnt show in list or in advanced search.

Is it SUPPOSED to be and I messed something up or not?

It's not supposed to be searchable. If you hack the memberpage it may work, never really tested it.

Hey,
very nice hack, is it possible that the useres have to fill it out by the registration or that they would be remebered after it?

Thanks!

Any profile field can be mandatory, it's a standard option when you make profile fields. Personally, I choose to just show those fields at registration, and not make them mandatory.

Got this narrowed down a bit - if you create a second db query for "form = 6" instead of tacking it on after form = 0, you can get only the ones you've designated as searchable. The problem I'm running into now is that hidden fields aren't showing up for people who can see hidden fields.

When 3.7.0 comes out I may try tackling the search, or start looking for a mod that may do it.
