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):

Nope, everything is working fine. Also, a plugin or manual edit wouldn't stop it from showing in the default vBulletin User Profile Field Manager..

[Wired1]

If the extra edits for the profile field aren't there, it's outside of the normal scope of what vB's looking for, so it wouldn't show up. However, the page would work just fine.

[Jase2]

Huh? Well, you create a new user profile field, and set it to display on the extra_options page. What I am saying, is that the user profile fields are now not showing in my ACP, so I cannot edit them...

[Wired1]

Follow the instructions and do the manual edit again. I'm guessing you've upgraded your forum recently.

[Jase2]

Ah, I forgot to re-do the /admincp/profilefield.php edit hehe.

Thanks, Wired!

Hi Wired1, How can I Change the layout of the page.

I have 2 categories and right now, all fields show up together. It would be great to divide them up with maybe the title of the Categories, perhaps in different tables or divs on the page.

Is this doable?

[Yarike]

Its lovely, installed!

The only thing i can suggest is maybe show up on profile pages other then that thanks

[RedGTiVR6]

it shows up on it's own profile page?

If you have a number of fields, you probably wouldn't want it to show up on the same profile page....no?

Fantastic mod wired

Got it all working no problems....
But when I selected an existing field I wanted to make into 'extra options', although it shows in a new tab (using the other mod listed) and the extra options mod works, it has disappeared from 'user profile fields?)..complete with its ID number!

So I added a new one and tried again, that is also not visible in there (to edit) but is visiblt in my forum user control panels?

Any ideas on where I can find them?!
thanks
