Profile Enhancements - Extra Profile Fields Page

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS for those upgrading to vB 3.6.10!!!

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=269

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):

any one?
and does it work on 3.6.8?

[Tom_S]

Okay now VB.org is updated to 3.6.8. Now since they see this upgrade as stable does this mod work with the upgrade or is this going to be tested with the upgrade at any point soon? I still can't get it to work.

[Saviour]

Two weeks have passed and no one has replied regarding compatibility with 3.6.8...oh well...better days..."clicks uninstalled".

UPDATE:

Okay...I have this working...

Now I have to get the Additional Section Within Profile and Dropdown menu working...

If these mods are going to be supported...it'd be nice to have someone support them instead of racking our brains trying to get them to work...

Or just a little note at the beginning of the mod which versions of vBulletin the mod is compatible with...instead of having to search every post to see if someone has already inquired as to its compatibility with other vBulletin versions. Instead we get answers like..."I see no reason why it shouldn't work with version 3.6.X." Sure you don't...but did you test it?

FYI
Works well with 3.6.8. Still had to do the php file edits, but all my extra fields and pages are there. :up:

Like I said, it should work with 3.6.8, as they didn't do any major upgrades.

And YES, it was tested, just forgot to update the version # at the top.

Add-ons like this which require manual edits, require manual edits each time there's an upgrade.

Do you mean you would like to use this plugin for Photography items, such as Camera Model, Lens Model, etc?

If this is what you mean, this is definitely possible, as the plugin is not dependant on the profile field descriptions. Follow the instructions and you'll be fine.

[Raw Sugar]

All that you have to do to get this to work is to uninstall, then reinstall. And then re-upload the PHP files in the download. Everytime that I upgrade I have to do this.

[The-Ensemble]

Erm, something weird has happened to mine, the profile fields in the extra page class (to be displayed on the extra profile page) no longer appear in Profile Field manager, it didn't delete them because they are still there when I look at a user.

Help please?
