IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS for those upgrading to vB 3.6.10!!!

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=269

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):

http://www.rdm-designportal.com Correct?

That site uses Version 3.7.0 Beta 5 as of this posting, and this mod is clearly NOT for 3.7.

For the Moment..... installed in my Testforum. Works fine.

This looks great, just the sort of thing I need. Will this mod be updated for 3.7?

[Wired1]

Yep.

When I am selecting the display page for another profile field, extra options doesnt show up - even though I have followed instructions to the letter up to now - I use vB 3.6.8 - any ideas ? thanks

You followed this to the letter, correct? If so, this should have done it. If not, please PM me the code around these edits. I'd guess that when you edited functions_user.php, it wasn't saved, or uploaded perhaps?

The following code adds an extra area to:

User Profile Fields -> User Profile Field Manager

When a new profile field is added, in the Display Page area, select Options: Extra Options (or whatever you placed in the extra_options vB Phrase)


// *** open admincp/profilefield.php

find

"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[other]"

replace with

"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[other]",
"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[extra_options]"

find

5 => "$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[other]",
add under

6 => "$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[extra_options]",

// *** save and close admincp/profilefield.php




// *** open includes/functions_user.php



find

case 5:
$customfields['other'] .= $tempcustom;
break;
add under

case 6:
$customfields['extra'] .= $tempcustom;
break;


// *** save and close includes/functions_user.php

Just thought I should mention this, the link does not appear in the UserCP if you have this addon installed: GTUserCP - Enhanced USERCP Interface

I disabled the above addon and this finally appeared in the UserCP.

Makes sense considering that the GTUserCP mod replaces the USERCP_SHELL.

Took a quick look at it, and I THINK (NOTE: UNTESTED, TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK, preferably on a test bed first) you can make 2 quick edits to add the Extra Options link.

In GTPM_USERCP_SHELL Find:

     <tr>
      <td class="$navclass[options]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editoptions">$vbphrase[edit_options]</a></td>
     </tr>

after it paste:

     <tr>
      <td class="$navclass[extra]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=extra">$vbphrase[edit_extra_options]</a></td>
     </tr>

and in gtpm_usercp_navbit Find:

	<tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editoptions">$vbphrase[edit_options]</a></td></tr>

after it paste:

	<tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=extra">$vbphrase[edit_extra_options]</a></td></tr>

Again, note: UNTESTED! Not my fault if you run it on a live server and blow it up!

Hi Wired1,

Any chance you can release a 3.7 one anytime soon, since it's in RC stage? It would be greatly appreciated.

Talk about Nerve racking..

I've went over my edits to my .php files. There are all correct. Template Edits are correct..

I see the Edit Options in my Edit profile. But, I can't see to add any options to edit. Under USER PROFILE FIELD MANAGER:

I don't see the "Extra Options" Line anywhere on there...

I know this has been asked alot... Any Ideas?
