Profile Enhancements - Extra Profile Fields Page

For those upgrading from the 3.8.x mod, read this.

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

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 (haven't updated it as of yet) to do this.

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 the 3.8.x version of this mod (with the Add-On mod, Extra Profile Fields Tab, and a separate mod, Profile Fields in a Postbit Dropdown):

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!

Below is an example of the code I used to create a dropdown menu in the postbit_legacy template. The code mimics the code used in the forum menu for creating a dropdown menu, only this one does not use links but rather static text.

Instructions:

Replace all Instances of $post['field#'] to list the proper field name of each custom profile field you wish to include and follow the format below to add additional fields. Only 3 fields were shown in the code to reduce the length of it. When adding a new field you should add it to the first vB conditional as well as the code for listing it. The conditional for displaying each field is optional and by some may be considered excessive, this is entirely up to you! You also do not have to use inline styling as I have but this was thrown together quickly to get something that works.

<!-- post specs_menu -->
<vb:if condition="$post['field#'] OR $post['field#'] OR $post['field#']">
	<div class="userinfo_extra">
		<ul>
			<li class="popupmenu">
				<a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl" accesskey="6">Computer Specs</a>
				<ul class="popupbody popuphover">
					<vb:if condition="$post['field#']">
						<li style="width:300px;color:#808080"><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#EEE;">Case:</span> {vb:raw post.field#}</li>
					</vb:if>
					<vb:if condition="$post['field#']">
						<li style="width:300px;color:#808080"><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#EEE;">Motherboard:</span> {vb:raw post.field#}</li>
					</vb:if>
					<vb:if condition="$post['field#']">
						<li style="width:300px;color:#808080"><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#EEE;">Processor:</span> {vb:raw post.field#}</li>
					</vb:if>
				</ul>
			</li>
		</ul>
	</div>
</vb:if>
<!-- / post specs_menu -->

I hope this helps and that I have posted this code in the right section :P

I fixed the redirect a couple ways... Although I think the plugin edit is the only thing needed I added the rest of my edits because they make sense.

In the "Creates Extra Profile Field Page" plugin add this just after $userdata->save();

PHP Code:

    $vbulletin->url = 'profile.php?' . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . 'do=extra';
    eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_extra_options_updated', true, true)); 


And then overwrite the "page" template with this

<form action="profile.php?do=updateextra" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="{vb:raw updateextra}" />

	<h2 class="blockhead">{vb:rawphrase edit_extra_options}</h2>
	<div class="blockbody formcontrols">
		<h3 class="blocksubhead">{vb:rawphrase extra_options}</h3>
			{vb:raw customfields.extra}	
	</div>

	<div class="blockfoot actionbuttons">
		<div class="group">
			<input type="submit" class="button" value="{vb:rawphrase save_changes}" accesskey="s" />
			<input type="reset" class="button" value="{vb:rawphrase reset_fields}" accesskey="r" />
			<input type="hidden" name="s" value="{vb:raw session.sessionhash}" />
			<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />
			<input type="hidden" name="do" value="updateextra" />
		</div>
	</div>

</form>

There were two inputs with the name do which I think confused the browser, at least it confused me. Also it appears that the forms are now submitted to profile.php?do=(updatepage) So I changed that as well and removed duplicate inputs for s and securitytoken, again not needing a duplicate of everything.

[wipedout]

i found 1 bug and i have a request as well.

first of all, when i change my settings in the extra tab, my emails and such from the standard profile settings get reset, msn and such.

secondly, is it possible to make it "register" as an own setting?

[tommac3]

Any update on the using this as part of the profile

I've just fixed this bug by applying the following fix. I know it wasnt intended to fix this, but I thought I would give it a shot and it worked!

wipedout: So you mean instead of editing the fields in the EPFP, you're going into the tab from the addon and editing them there? Are they ACTUALLY deleted (e.g. you're checking the adminCP), or you just don't see them in the appropriate tab if you switch to it? If the latter, refresh the page, sounds like an AJAX thing.

tommac3: Can you be more specific on your question please?

alexp999: The redirect "bug" had nothing to do with the mod. When I upgraded the test bed, the issue went away. Didn't come back on a complete wipe / reinstall of the test bed.
