Profile Enhancements - Extra Profile Fields Page

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

You can find the 3.6.x version of this hack here.

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. A mod I'll release later on will create a tab for them, fully editable like the "About Me" tab.

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):

To Install:
1) Save the attached product-wired1_epfp.xml file.
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!

vB Phrases:

extra_options_updated - Simple message posted after you hit the SAVE button on the page.
edit_extra_options - Name of UserCP link
extra_options - Shows up in various places, mostly on the title of the extra page, as well as in the profile field selection area (see pics above for more info)

Version History:
3.0.0 - Initial Release
3.0.1 - Added header to edit page, cached templates, redirect now goes back to edit page

To uninstall a previous version (pre vB 3.7.0) of this mod, simply reverse the old instructions and edits!

Installed the 3.6 version on 3.7, but I can't quite remember what happened but I stopped using it. The extra profile fields still show up on the user profile (I think it's only viewable to admins) - any ideas on how to remove it?

If these extra fields can be on a seperate 'tab' when viewing their profile this will be an excellent addition to my board and will go straight back on! I look forward to seeing the images.

Cheers

1. Post in the CORRECT thread. This one is for the 3.7.x version, NOT the 3.6.x version.
2. Uninstall the 3.6.x version by following the instructions and edits in reverse.
3. Yes, they can be on a separate tab. It's a different product, so as to give people choices if they want to use it or not. I'll upload that one tomorrow though, didn't realize it's so late!
4. Also, please hit the INSTALL button!

The images are just the old ones pretty much

You may have been looking when it wasn't attached yet (AND there was a message at the top of the description stating I was attaching it).

Either way, it's there right now. Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

If you were running this on 3.6.8 and just upgraded to vb3.7 with the default vb files, while waiting for a new version of this :

Then you can just uninstall the old version 2.x then install 3.0.0, then make the 1 template, and 1 profilefield.php edits.
Then change the two phrases (or three if you have the redirects turned on), to your liking

Installed!

is it just me or is there a little styling missing on the edit extra fields page in the user cp? i'm talking about the html which under user details would say:

<tr>
<td class="tcat">Edit Your Details<span class="normal"> username</span></td>
</tr>

it's missing for me under extra fields, did you forget it?.

Correct, because after you upgrade, you've replaced the files, and of course they have no manual edits.

Got a screenshot? Code's the same as before, but maybe they added something, or maybe it's been that way the whole time and no one's ever mentioned it
