Profile Enhancements - Extra Profile Fields Page

Note to all: Yes I will be upgrading this mod if needed to work with vB 4.0, but not before it goes gold on or around the ETA of December 21st. I personally wouldn't recommend anyone upgrade their forum for a couple weeks after it comes out so that the modding community has a chance to test their code on the gold version.

=========================

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

NOTE: No code changes have been made from v3.0.1 for vB 3.7.x to v3.1.0 for vB 3.8.x.

This product will add a new page to the User CP for easy editing of specially marked profile fields, that for one reason or another you would like to split off from the main list.

NOTE: Any fields marked for this page will not be seen in the user's profile. You would need to install the Extra Profile Fields Tab addon to do this.


After the product is FULLY installed, when a you want to move a profile field to the new page for easy editing:

1. Go to the AdminCP and edit the field as normal.
2. At the bottom in the Display Page area, you will see "Which page displays this option?" The last option should say Options: $vbphrase[extra_options].
3. Save!

Personally, I use this page for PC specs, but it can also be used for other specs as well (e.g. cars). With an ADDITIONAL product (e.g. NOT this one), I place these specs in a dropdown list under the user title in each user's post, as well as in their profile as an extra tab.

Here's some examples of how I use this mod (with the Add-On mod, Extra Profile Fields Tab, and a separate mod, Profile Fields in a Postbit Dropdown):

# of php page edits: 1 (admincp/profilefield.php)

To Install:

2) Navigate to AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product]
3) Browse to wherever you saved the file.
4) Allow Overwrite -> Yes.
5) Import!
6) Follow the instructions for the manual edits (1 template edit, 1 PHP page edit)

The install process should only take 5 minutes at most.

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

Support will only be given to people who have hit install.

Thanks.

Don't need to uninstall actually, just re-do the manual edits as per the EPFP instructions and you'll be fine.

What manual edits?

[Saviour]

Never mind...Fixed. Thank you, so much, Wired. You're a lifesaver...and I don't mean the candy!

All my best!

Glad to hear.

Mod works great. I have it installed on both of my forums. I do have one question though. I have the option set to display certain fields on the Members List, but they are not displaying. I checked all my edits and even uninstalled/reinstalled the mod, but they still do not show-up on the Members List. The same goes for Advanced Search.

Thanks, and great job!

Oops, I overlooked post #3. I'm good to go now.

Hello

I added this mod when I had vB 3.7 and everything worked perfect. I upgraded a few months back to vB 3.8 and still worked OK, the users where able to select from the extra page without a problem. Now I'm in the need to change some of the field options. I remember I used to change the options on the "User Profile Field Manager", but now I can not see the fields. If I go to "User Profile Field Categories" it shows the category I created for the extra page, but I can't edit the options.

I try upgrading but it didn't work.

Any ideas how can I edit the options or the fields??

Thanks

I had this same issue, after I upgraded my version of vBulletin.

When you upgraded, you overwrote the admincp/profilefield.php file.

You need to make the manual edits to that file as described in the instructions of the mod.

Thank you very much!! You are the man.

Wired1 too, for creating this mod.
