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.
I've gotten this mod working without a hitch. Now I just need to tailor the wording.
In the options window, it lists this as 'Edit Extra Options' and the title of the window as 'Extra Options'.
I'd like to change this to 'Edit CarPC Specs' and 'CarPC Specs'.
Based on the screen shots Wired1 posted, it's $vbphrase[edit_extra_options] and $vbphrase[extra_options]...however...I don't know what do to beyond that. I've changed the first to: $vbphrase[edit_carpc_specs] and $vbphrase[CarPC_Specs] only to find that the page dissapears when I refresh. So I gather that's not right...so where do I find where [edit_extra_options] and [extra_options] are determined?
What am I doing wrong? I installed this and I see the "Edit Extra Options" in my User CP, but I can't see the extra profile fields when VIEWING my profile. Can anyone help me out on this?
I also have the "Friends and Buddies" modification installed. Could this be the reason my extra profile fields aren't viewable, except for when editing the profile?
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:
I just checked my member list and see that I'm experiencing the same thing you experienced. I'm removing this mod. It's a great concept, but it's definitely not working for me.
I'm back. I'm responding to ones that I don't think have gotten answered yet, although the bast majority of these have already been answered in various forms in this thread, as well as the previous thread.

Those are exactly what they state they are... VBPHRASES.
ADMINCP -> Languages & Phrases -> Search in Phrases
look for "extra_options". Edit how you like. In order to change the phrase variables to "$vbphrase[CarPC_Specs]", you first have to CREATE them.

No. Read the first post again, CAREFULLY. There is an ADDON that does this.

Read the 3.5.x hack instructions. There's BETA search code in there (which is really just vB's search code w/ one minor change). Search for the new code in 3.6.x (they changed like 1 minor thing in it IIRC), and it should work fine. A proper way to do this would involve a heavy rewrite, which I simply don't have the time for (hence why I haven't been around much).

That's outside the scope of this hack.

uummmm..... NO. There are hacks similar to it, that don't require core hacks, but they require SQL edits, which is not something this hack needs. Neither are perfect, choose your poison.
