Profile Fields in a Postbit Dropdown

If you use this mod please hit INSTALL!


With this mod you can allow profile fields to show up in a dropdown below a user's name and user's title under each post. There are two ways to use this product, and each has its own plugin (and template): Dropdown - Manual (enabled by default), and Dropdown - Automated (disabled by default).

NOTE: The dropdown's title shows up as [username]'s [dropdown_title]. Yes, the 's is hardcoded into the mod. Figured if I didn't hardcode it, someone wouldn't be able to figure out how to add it

To edit the title:

Go to AdminCP -> Languages & Phrases -> Search in Phrases. Search for the phrase's title: [dropdown_title] (no brackets). Edit and save!

The dropdown is dependent on Profile Field 5 being filled. If the user does not have this profile field filled out, then the dropdown will not show. To edit or remove this restriction:

Go to the Dropdown Call Template. Find and edit, or remove these 2 lines of code (so that the dropdown will always show):
Code:
<if condition="$post['field5']">
...
</if>


The "Dropdown - Manual" template allows you to manually create the dropdown. Some examples of how to do this are already provided within the template. This template is the default.

To edit it, go to AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> [STYLE NAME]
Edit Style: Dropdown Information - Manual

The "Dropdown - Automated" template / plugin combo will automatically create the dropdown for ALL custom fields (it will skip the first 4 default ones).

To use the automated dropdown, DISABLE Plugin "Dropdown - Manual" and ENABLE Plugin "Dropdown - Automated". Simple!


To sum it up:
Plugin: Dropdown - Manual
PRO: You select which fields, what descriptions, and in what order you want the fields to show up.
CON: Lots of typing


Plugin: Dropdown - Automatic
PRO: Automatic!
CON: no real control, Profile fields 5 and up will show up in order. NOTE: if it is a HIDDEN profile field, apparently only the DATA is hidden, not the field name, so the field name will show up as well. To block a profile field from showing up in the Automatic Dropdown, check out this post.


Version History:
3.0.0 - Initial Release
3.0.1 - Added plugin to cache templates, courtesy of ssslippy.
3.1.0 - Updated for 3.8.x, no code changes made.

NOTE: Support will only be given to those who have hit install.

If you use this mod please hit INSTALL!

One of the fields I want to add to the dropdown has multiple checkboxes and in the dropdown it is shown as the numbers "777." How can the dropdown to show the different checkbox fields chosen by the user?

As it says in the main post: Support will only be given to those who have hit install.

Regardless, multiple selection profile fields can't be accessed outside of the standard profile area. Limitation of forum softwae.

I know, but enough people requested it a while back. I'll probably remove it again in the next version which will automatically make as many pages / sets of fields as needed. It'll be DB driven though.

Thanks, for a great Mod.

In Automatic or Manual mode, I can only get fields 5 and 6 to display.

I've checked my other mods, I don't see any that use postbit. I searched the plugin system, hook locations.

If I look in the SQL database for table "userfield", I see 6 fields, labeled 1 --> 6.

The actual display order in user profile is: 4, 5, 6, 2, 1, 3

I'll try your manual edit feature.

FYI you can see the number of profile fields right from the adminCP. You only saw two because as it says above:

Some of the first 4 fields show up in the postbit already, so I didn't want to duplicate that in the automated dropdown.

You're welcome Suggestions are always appreciated.

Any chance of changing it to allow us to easily choose which profile fields are used. My first available to use is field18
