IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS for those upgrading to vB 3.6.10!!!

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=269

EVERYONE: PLEASE BE CRYSTAL CLEAR IN WHAT ISSUES YOU ARE HAVING WITH THIS MOD IF YOU ARE USING IT IN 3.7.x! A 3.7.x version is already in the works.

------------------------------------------------------------

You can find the 3.5.x version of this hack here.

This hack will add an extra page to the User CP. This area can be used for extra profile fields that for one reason or another you would like to split from the main list.

Personally, I use this page for PC specs, but it can also be used for other specs as well (e.g. cars). I have the specs in a dropdown list under the user title in each user's post, as well as in their profile page, but that's another hack You'll see a link to it under Add-Ons to the right.

Here's some examples of how I use this hack (with the Add-On hack, Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts):

Alright since no one really responded to my question, I'm going to post it again.

How can you edit the template of this page? It doesn't really look all that great on my board, so I need to make it look better. Which template is it?

[The dman]

OK I'm confused.

Could someone tell me (in simple terms) #1 how to change the title of "Extra Edit Options" to my own title and #2 how to add my own fields. I know it's user error but I would love to implement this and I'm not grasping the vbphrase concept. I already have 3 frustrating hours into this and no luck.

Thanks

Great mod by the way just what my site needs

HTH

I'm really sorry but I still don't get it.

I don't know where those files are.

Kadi

profilefield.php is in your admin folder

functions_user.php is in your includes folder

Sorry to be a pain but I have it all installed and I'm at a standstill. "Edit Extra Options" shows up and when I click on it it goes to an "Extra Options" page which has "save changes" and "reset fields" buttons but as far as entering my own fields I'm lost. Please can you explain a little bit more specifically on how to do this ?

I've read through this thread several times and and this mod is still kicking my butt.

Thanks

Dman...

To add your own profile fields to the new page, you need to EDIT the fields you want there (or create a new one) and at the bottom of that page, it has a section called "Display Page". You need to change the drop down menu to say this: "Options: Extra Options". The address to the page you created is "/profile.php?do=extra". You can easily create a link to this page in the User CP by editing the usercp_shell template.

...Now... how do I edit the template???

and at the bottom of that page, it has a section called "Display Page".

I see the light now:banana:

I'll have to take this up in the morning but thanks for the help and don't be surprised if I do ask that proverbial question:

...Now... how do I edit the template???

I know how to edit templates but I don't know if I specifically know how to do this edit,tomorrow will tell..

Thanks you've been a big help

[Raw Sugar]

No problem, I love makin' myself feel smart so thank you for that opportunity, haha

Well, have ya figured it out? Any help would be so very greatly appreciated!

*Argh* ;-)

Yesterday we started the migration from 3.5.4 to current 3.6.4. I also updateded this Mod and I still have a problem which makes me crazy

In UserCP the link to the extra fields page is available, and a user is able to edit/save all the definied fields.

But I cannot find a way how to show the content of the fields inside the MEMBERINFO.

Using 3.5.4, we had a reference like

<td>$customfields2</td>

inside the template

Using this now in 3.6.4 shows absolutly nothing.

So I changed it to

<td>$customfields[extra]</td>

but all what's showing is a single "<"

It's a long time ago when we installed this mod into 3.5.4, so I cannot remember what we did that time.....

Maybe somebody is able to help me to show the content of those fields inside the member's profile (readable for everybody who has permissions to access the profile....)

Thanks in advance,

Frank

Are others experiencing this same thing?

Any ideas on what's happened to Wired1? Says he's not been online since back in NOV06.

The bug I referred to above is serious enough that if I set the page that displays this option to "Extra Edit Options" then NONE of my Custom Profile Fields will show up in the Member List. By none, I'm not just referring to the ones used in this MOD, but I mean it prevents ALL Custom Data Fields from showing up in the members listing.

As such, I had to revert back to using the Edit Profile page in order to keep my members listing working correctly. However doing so means that one can no longer access the Custom Data Fields for this MOD. Neither to edit, or even see them.:disappointed:
