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):

Been over it more than twice now and still unable to see the system specs..

Dont worry its been marked as uninstalled now

Can I have several extra pages?

I've tried to modify the product to "do=secondextra", but I failed, it still shows me "do=extra" fields.

Is it possible to have several of these extra pages? Can you lead me to get more pages?

Edit: I think the problem I got has something to do with "fetch_profilefields(1);" ... How I can get the fields of the secondextra page?

That's because this mod doesn't do what you want. It's only what it says it is and not what you are looking for. That's another mod. Check my profile for other mods I've made that may or may not do what you're looking for.

Try the attached file / instructions. Totally forgot I planned ahead

[nerofix]

Thank you so much, I'll check the new xml out, .. I think I could need about 100 of them =)

[Wired1]

100??? WHY? That's a bajillion profile fields! PM me w/ some more info, I'll see what I can do

Before installing there is a question of interrest,

Is it definable which usergroups can have the extra profile fields page
and in additon to your add-on from which usergroups the tabs are shown
e.g. "miserables" don't have the option for this page and no profile tabs
(of this extra page) from miserables are shown.

In short: no. This is purely a cleaner way to edit profile fields on their own page. This does not make extra permissions around profile fields. Can you expand on why you'd only want certain users to edit their profile fields?

[Cocko]

Just mentioned before, some usergroups users shouldn't be allowed to
setup addtional fields. the normal fields from vbulletin are ok but even
not the more with your add-on.

usergroup without that permission for using "more fields" or without the
feature of shown their "more fields" are miserables, inactive users and
users with bouncing emails.

[Wired1]

This doesn't create more fields, it just separates the edit area for profile fields that you mark into a new page. If you need profile fields to be limited by user groups, I'd contact Jelsoft.
