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):

[s]yes, doesnt work, both this and the tab mod are broken,[/s]



edit: just made them both work, I think i missed some instructions before, eg. you have to go into the profile fields manager and import them to the new extra profile fields section, then both this and the tab will work. Its working fine with vB4.1.12 now

========================================

Install the product, then:
====================================

// This adds the actual edit button on the left nav of the User CP under Edit Your Details. Feel free to move it wherever you'd like.


Go to the vBulletin AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> (Select Style) -> User Control Panel Templates -> USERCP_SHELL

FIND:

<li class="{vb:raw navclass.profile}"><a href="profile.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=editprofile">{vb:rawphrase edit_your_details}</a></li>


After it post:

<li class="{vb:raw navclass.extra}"><a href="profile.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=extra">{vb:rawphrase edit_extra_options}</a></li>


====================================

The following code adds an extra area to: User Profile Fields -> User Profile Field Manager

// *** open admincp/profilefield.php

find

"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[other]"

replace with

"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[other]",
"$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[extra_options]"

find

5 => "$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[other]",
add under

6 => "$vbphrase[options]: $vbphrase[extra_options]",

// *** save and close admincp/profilefield.php

====================================


NOTE: Any fields marked for this page will not be seen in the user's profile.


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 (see below)

its not needed for 4.2.0

my website already has 1 extra profile tab for other profile fields

LOL, really? They finally added this functionality to vB? Wow, only took 7 years...

Did you ever create the mod that allows creation of multiple extra pages?

Nice -- I used this to create several more pages. One thing; on any of these new pages, savign info redirects back to profile.php rather than the add-on page. Did I miss something?
