Profile Fields in a Postbit Dropdown

No support by the author.

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!

Wired,

I've been using this mod for some time now. It's currently showing for some registered members who have filled out the profile fields, but I just had someone register yesterday and fill it out...and it's not showing for them, or me...for that matter. I mean...I know they have completed some of the fields, but the dropdown just isn't showing for them. My PC specs are viewable...and so are some others, but this has got me scratching my head.

I currently run vB 3.8.4PL2.

Is there anything you can suggest? I appreciate it...this mod is definitely one our forum needs...and like I said...it's been working fine. I'm not sure what's causing it.

Nevermind...I should read your first post a little more carefully.

There are a lot more forums than you may think that thrived and depended on this mod before vB4. It is a great addition and unfortunate that there is no version 4. I come here all the time looking for an alternative for version 4, and no such mod exists. It is a small type of template modification in the grand scheme of things, but it makes things *that* much better for forum members. I would be willing to even donate to you like $20 to make a vB4 version.. I know this isn't much since Im broke.

Money is not a motivator to me. I was working on the mods yesterday actually since it was the first day in 2 months that I only worked 8 hours.

In otherwords, life is life. Now let me ask this: If this mod is so important to you, why don't you hit install?
