Profile Enhancements - Extra Profile Fields Page

For those upgrading from the 3.8.x mod, read this.

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

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. You would need to install the Extra Profile Fields Tab addon (haven't updated it as of yet) to do this.

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 the 3.8.x version of this mod (with the Add-On mod, Extra Profile Fields Tab, and a separate mod, Profile Fields in a Postbit Dropdown):

To Install:
1) Save the attached product-wired1_epfp.xml file.
2) Navigate to AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product]
3) Browse to wherever you saved the file.

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!

can I ask before I install this, will I be able to make a bunch of links that are clickable for this? thanks

It's just splitting off the profile fields to a new edit window. This mod does NOT change the properties or limitations of profile fields.

[Wired1]

Yeah, I guess I should get to work on that one lol.

I have this set up as a tab in member.php... how do i open this tab by default with the:

/member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]&tab=tabname ?

[Wired1]

&tab=EPFP_tab

Are you using my 3.8.x tab mod, or did you create your own?

Is this still a bug? I've been a big user of this mod since back in 3.6, but I'd like it to be redirected to the page you just edited. I know it works on my 3.7 site correctly. Any idea what code is broken?

[Verionia]
