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):

O.k the hack works but the second page I need to display under the profile also, how can I do that?

Thanks, nice hack

I just noticed something weird.
Since upgrading to vB 3.6 and 2.10, I can not see several additional profiles in the profile manager.

I know I have a profile number 10 sinc I use it elsewhere.
I don't recall if I had to name a set of new profile fields and that is why there are not appearing.

Edit: Never mind. I did not read all the instructions.
Note to self: Install mods when awake.

Can this be used to combine a number of profile pages into the main user's profile?

For example, my site has profiles for my classifieds script, photogalary, as well as the main forums. I would LOVE to be able to create one profile page that has some type of tab that would allow me to have a dingle profile page for my members...

I was going to code this myself when I found time but if this could do that I would be one happy webmaster!

i tried using the same method as the 3.5.4 version to make multiple pages, but the second page seems to display the same information as the first page (extra2). can you post a accurate file for those that want to use multiple pages? maybe i missed a link when i edited the .xml file.

Wired1 or anyone else who may know: how do I get this mod to do this (add webpage & guestbook to users' profiles)?

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!


Thank you

HOW TO ADD MULTIPLE PAGES:

I've attached EXAMPLES of modified instruction.txt and product.xml of what to change. ANYWHERE you see ###, INCLUDING the product name, change to whatever number you wish (but don't repeat in another extra page). I'd recommend editing the product and instructions first, and then follow them as normal.

That would not be this hack, sorry. Your idea is definitely possible, but beyond the scope of this hack.

This hack has nothing in common with that one, and that hack is for 3.0.x, so it may not even be compatible with 3.6.x.

[marlita]

*sigh* so, does that mean that you wouldn't know how to make something like that mod integrate with yours? I'm sorry, I know it's not the same as yours, I just thought it was along the same lines ... adding a new section to the profile. *shrug* If you have any suggestions, it'd be very much appreciated.

Thank you

That specific mod, no, as it's almost 2 years old, and vB's significantly changed since then. What version of vB do you have?

[marlita]

I'm adding to http://www.virginiareia.com. thank you.

just wondering how easy it would be to split the profile info so that there can be 2 user groups each of which has distinct profile info that they can record. essentially I have a board that "matchmakes" between 2 groups and I want to record separate info for each in the profile section.
