Profile Enhancements - Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts

NOTE: After checking out the vBulletin 3.7 First Look thread, which contains significant changes to the Member Profile page, it is clear that this mod as-is will probably not work properly when it comes to displaying the Extra Profile Info on that page. As soon as an official 3.7 comes out, I'll start working on the changes.

The 3.5.x version of this hack can be found here.

This hack builds upon my Extra Profile Fields Page hack. This template mod lets you take the extra fields from that hack and places them within a dropdown that sits below the user's title within each post, as well as replaces the Group Memberships area with a listing of only these specs. The EPFP hack is basically the entry form for the data that's manipulated in this hack. Please check out the pics at the EPFP hack link to get the full idea.

In my case, it is used for PC specs (and as you will see the instructions are tailored towards this), however it can be easily used for parts or specifications of almost anything (car parts for example).

An example is shown here:

I have the extra options mod installed, and it was working fine.

Tried installing this (following instructions up to the popup menu bit, didnt want that) but then when attempting to view a member profile i get a blank page.

So i turned off this plugin and profiles work again.... i'm thinking i've not got the values for the following correct:

Execution Order Use this field to enter the order in which code at the same hook will be executed.

Plugin PHP Code Use this field to enter the PHP code that you would like to be run.

I had 5 in the first one by default, and just put 'member.php' in the second and i assume thats where i've gone wrong...

My site is www.49CMD.com

If you follow the instructions and only skip the end of the instructions where it has the dropdown instructions, the memberpage should work fine, there's no editing like you mentioned in said instructions.

Hello Wired1,

I'll be installing this great hack once you release it for 3.7.

I have one question, you have your "My system Specs" in the postbit with a blue background. Do you have to have the small blue background, or can you just have it with the writing "My system Specs" and the drop down button?

Regards Jason

Excellent modification and will be installing once their is a version for 3.7.

Thanks, Paul.

I have answered this question from you last week in the parent plugin's thread. It is based upon your forum's template. The dropdown is completely vBulletin's code, and is not modified by myself in any way.

nice hack. i have this and the other one working together just fine except for one thing, it doesnt display the custom fields on the profile page. drop down works perfect. extra options editing page works perfectly. any suggestions?

You don't create the plugin. Go to Download / Upload Plugins and Import it.
