Extra Profile Fields Page

This is the 3.5.x version of Zachery's hack by the same name. (linkage)


3.6.0 version: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123253


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 can see my 3.0.x hack for that here, and the 3.5.x hack for it here.

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

NOTE: The above 2 links show the results of another hack I did that's based upon this one. In otherwords, this hack doesn't add dropdowns in posts, and doesn't hack the member page to display the extra options in a new area. For that, install the Add-On hack, Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts.

The "successfully saved" and extra option search are not tested, but they should both work.

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!.

Kewl, thanks.

As for when the next update will be, I dunno. The next time I work "only" 40 hours in a week, I'll see what I can do

so does this hack give me a blank page I can add profile fields and build at my whim?

You mark profile fields that you'd like on the entry page, and it puts it there.

I've found a way to add "additional" pages into this hack as painlessly as possible.... I'll do some more testing after I nap and if it works, i'll post my edits to the hack.

[cbr929rrerion]

ok.. maybe I was to vague..

I have my profile page the way I want it but I would like to add an additional page and set it up containing whatever i want, can I do that with this hack..

Only for entering data, or also for displaying? Marked with unique markers, or all the same one? Using separate markers it'd be easy to split into boxes for the profile page for display.

The page you want, is it for entering data, or for displaying data?

[cbr929rrerion]

displaying, another words if I wanted to build a "My Garage" page based solely on user profile fields info..

on its own page

[cbr929rrerion]

well.. I guess both, have a seperate page to enter it, and have it displayed on its own page as well

For entering data right now... I don't use the display part of the hack because what I'm doing it for is mostly "chat server" preferences.

... and using separate markers....

profile.php?mod_XXX

where the script will strip out the "mod_" and parse the XXX for the appropriate page
