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):

2) Navigate to AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product]

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!


Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

Figured this out. What was missing was the button value and redirect in the plugin:

In your new page template:
Find:

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="updateprofile" />

Replace With:

<input type="hidden" name="do" value="updateYOURTEMPLATENAME" />

Plugin at profile_start:
Find:

	// save the data
	$userdata->save();
}

Replace with:

// save the data 
    $userdata->save(); 

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

Now additional pages will redirect back to themselves after saves/edits.

Thanks, this also solves the problem that saving the extra fields clears other profile fields like the birthday.
However, the redirect should be as this:

eval(print_standard_redirect(array('redirect_updatethanks', $vbulletin->userinfo['username']), true, true));
