EVERYONE: PLEASE BE CRYSTAL CLEAR IN WHAT ISSUES YOU ARE HAVING WITH THIS MOD IF YOU ARE USING IT IN 3.7.x! A 3.7.x version is already in the works.

------------------------------------------------------------

You can find the 3.5.x version of this hack here.

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.

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

Okay finally I've had it do what I want, I didn't want the complete USER_CP shell on the extra profile page and forced a style on the page, to make it seem like a stand-alone RPG edit profile page.

I keep on loving this hack . Keep up the great work.

Sorry for doubleposting, but I'd like the page to redirect to somewhere other than the usercp.php page (as it is by default right now) when you submit your info. Since it uses the profile.php redirect it automatically gets redirected to usercp.php. Any idea on how to do a different redirect for this extra profile page?

EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out .

This is something I have needed for a long time - how can I do a second set of extra fields...im going to offer advertising on my site - and I want to give access to extra profile fields for 1 group - so I know I can use this hack to do the seperate page then just use condtionals to make it available....i dont want to mess anything up so can you assist me on adding a second new catagory?

not sure what you mean by a second category (refresh me, it's been a long week!)

Is this working with 3.6.8? I am having a heck of a time.

[Wired1]

haven't tested it yet, but IIRC when I skimmed the 3.6.8 notes nothing struck out at me that could potentially break it.

[Tom_S]

Well I installed and uninstalled it over 10 times and got nothing. I even tried it three times with the add on and still no luck. I don't know what I am missing but I have never had this bad of luck with any mod and we really could use this mod on our site.

It is a new day and I will try it again.

[Tom_S]

Well it seems that everyones site I look at in this thread is using an older version of VB so I am guessing it don't work with 3.6.8. I sure can't get it to work so unless a skimming glance at code is all you can tell me that is you have that is making it a keeper then I have a 2 days of install and uninstall that says it is a dead mod for me at any rate. What I see as kind of odd as well is that VB.org isn't using 3.6.8 either. Am I on to something? Should I have not used it?
