Profile Enhancements - Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts

NOTE: After checking out the vBulletin 3.7 First Look thread, which contains significant changes to the Member Profile page, it is clear that this mod as-is will probably not work properly when it comes to displaying the Extra Profile Info on that page. As soon as an official 3.7 comes out, I'll start working on the changes.

The 3.5.x version of this hack can be found here.

This hack builds upon my Extra Profile Fields Page hack. This template mod lets you take the extra fields from that hack and places them within a dropdown that sits below the user's title within each post, as well as replaces the Group Memberships area with a listing of only these specs. The EPFP hack is basically the entry form for the data that's manipulated in this hack. Please check out the pics at the EPFP hack link to get the full idea.

In my case, it is used for PC specs (and as you will see the instructions are tailored towards this), however it can be easily used for parts or specifications of almost anything (car parts for example).

An example is shown here:

Any suggestions are appreciated.

any one plz? and does it work on 3.6.8?

[home9000]

I try it on 3.6.5
but without succeed
I think there is some thin missing in code or template
It's not appear in user profile or in postbite

[Saviour]

I've got the extar fields page working, but the dropdown doesn't appear...

Man, these mods are racking my brain...I could've made a mistake, but the only thing I think may be causing the issue is the edit to the member.php file...attached.

This is a great mod...I just wish there was someone around to help...

I'm using 3.6.8

UPDATE:

Got tired of waiting for help...

I just removed the if conditional from the postbit and..."voila"...done and done.

Thanks for the help...

Ok,

Looked at the edit instructions and it says to find:

<if condition="$show['membergroups']">
				<dl id="membergroups_list" class="smallfont">
				$membergroupbits
				</dl>
			<else />
				<div class="smallfont"><strong><phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[x_is_not_a_member_of_any_public_groups]</phrase></strong></div>
			</if>

And replace it with:

<if condition="$show['extrainfo']">
				<dl id="additionalinfo_list">
				$customfields2
				</dl>
			<else />
				<div class="smallfont"><strong><phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[n_a]</phrase></strong></div>
			</if>

But my MEMBERINFO template looks like this:

<if condition="$show['membergroups']">
								<td></td>
								<else />
								<td><strong><phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[x_is_not_a_member_of_any_public_groups]</phrase></strong></td>
								</if>
							</tr>
							$membergroupbits
							</table>
						</div>
					
					</div>
				</div>
			</td>
		</tr>
		</table>

So what edits do I need to make?

Regards.

Replace:

<if condition="$show['membergroups']">
                                                               <td></td>
                                                               <else />
                                                               <td><strong><phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[x_is_not_a_member_of_any_public_groups]</phrase></strong></td>
                                                               </if>
                                                       </tr>
                                                       $membergroupbits
                                                       </table>

With:

<if condition="$show['extrainfo']">
                                                               <td></td>
                                                               <else />
                                                               <td><strong><phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[n_a]</phrase></strong></td>
                                                               </if>
                                                       </tr>
                                                       $customfields2
                                                       </table>

Not a clue. All my hack does is replace the vBulletin variable with one of my own creation, and displays it.
