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):

Make sure to follow the original directions. All I did was manually change the template name in the 2 plugins and created my own template since the PAGE template is used by the Facebook feature.

It may be better to open the original XML file and change things there first before importing the product. Its not my hack so I dont want to add the fixed xml.

Also try clearing your browser cache.

The same thing, tested on vB 4.14 and vB 4.15 Beta1.

Thanks Scalemotorcars for the modified code.. worked perfectly . confirmed working on VB 4.1.5 PL1

+1 on Scalemotocars fix working fine.

I don't know how, but I replace all "extra" words for "mypc" and edited on the template, and it works xD

Saludos.

I just installed this product on 4.1.5 PL1 and it looks like it will suit my needs perfectly. Thanks.

The only thing I want to change, however, is as follows:

I would like the "Edit Extra Options" link (Settings > My Settings > Edit Extra Options) to appear ONLY if the user belongs to a particular usergroup (Group ID = 14). I would like the link to be visible regardless of whether ID=14 is someone's PRIMARY usergroup, or whether it's an "additional" usergroup. I assume I have to put a conditional around the edit that was made to the USERCP_SHELL template? Can you (or anyone?) help with this?

Similarly, I would like to also install the "Extra Tab" product -- but with the same conditional. The newly added tab should be visible ONLY to those users belonging to usergroup=14 (as either a primary or a secondary usergroup). Is that possible?

Lastly, I think one more small template edit might be required; for if I go to the admincp and review any OTHER user, the name of the extra page isn't reflected properly in the header above the extra profile fields. I can provide a screen capture if my explanation isn't clear.

Best,

Bill

Mischief managed. I figured out the appropriate conditional to solve my first question above.

I'd still like to make use of the "extra tab" add-on, with a similar conditional, however.
