Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts

Link to 3.6.0 version:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123254

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 EFP hack is basically the entry form for the data that's manipulated in this hack. Please check out the pics at the EFP 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:

Example of user profile with specs:
http://www.houseofhelp.com/v2/member.php?userid=15


# of plugin hooks: 1
# of php page edits: 1 (just 1 line to add the custom hook line into member.php)
# of template edits: 3
# of phrase edits: 1


An admin section will eventually be done for this, as well as extra areas to place the new specs within. Because this is based upon the EFP hack, the upgrades in functionality to this hack will depend on the EFP hack's upgrades. In otherwords, staggered upgrades. Other functionality has been recommended and will be added at a later date. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

Also, please post where you've installed this, as I'd like to see how people are using it. That'll help me think of new ways to add to it aside from my own needs for this hack. Or if guests can't see the effects, then please post a pic.

I ve told ya,i ve made it to meet ma own needs!!! It's better for me in one line,cos i cant figure out or guess how many games a user has!!If someone got 20,it would be a huge list for the dropdown.So i ve limited it in 1 line seperated with commas!!!

Hello, great hack. Dont mean to be a pain but how could i recycle the group memberships to show

Guilds: Group Membership fields

Thanks for your help

[Wired1]

Not a pain at all, in fact I was wanting to get around to this eventually. While this isn't as elegant as I want it to be, this should do it for you. Basically it adds the Group Membership and a blank area below the current profile. You can swap the Group Membership and Extra Info areas if you'd like, just have to swap the code in the appropriate areas.

REPLACE:

</tr>
</table>

$footer

</body>
</html>

With:

</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="tcat" width="50%">$vbphrase[group_memberships]</td>
	<td class="tcat" width="50%">				<em>$vbphrase[n_a]</em></td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">

	<td class="panelsurround" align="center">
	<div class="panel">
		<div align="$stylevar[left]">
		
		<div class="fieldset">
			<if condition="$show['extrainfo']">
				<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0">
				<if condition="$userinfo['birthday']">
				<tr>
					<td>
						<strong>$vbphrase[birthday]</strong>:<br />
						$userinfo[birthday]
					</td>
				</tr>
				</if>
				$customfields
				</table>
			<else />
				<em>$vbphrase[n_a]</em>
			</if>
		</div>
		
		</div>
	</div>
	</td>
	
	<td class="panelsurround" align="center">
	<div class="panel">
		<div align="$stylevar[left]">
		
			<div class="fieldset">
				<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]px" border="0">
				<tr>
				</tr>
				</table>
			</div>
		
		</div>
	</div>
	</td>

</tr>
</table>

$footer

</body>
</html>

Thanks, just need to think how to do it so that i dont have a spare box

Don't forget to hit Install!

It can probably be done, but the downside is that the opposite cell has a large area of nothing in it. You can remove the info in that <TR> to make it completely blank of even the title bar, or you could have the last cell stretch the whole width if you wanted.

Thanks for the install!

BTW, (quoting what I just added to the install notes)
please post where you've installed this, as I'd like to see how people are using it. That'll help me think of new ways to add to it aside from my own needs for this hack. Or if guests can't see the effects, then please post a pic.
