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):

ok, I am lost. I added everything and then went in to the adminCP to create a couple of extra fields for users to add. I then added them in my profile and then went to see it listed. However, it doesn't show. I have just read up about going somewhere else to then install something and change a load of templates.

What I don't understand is what is the point of this particular addition if nobody will see anything as a result, until you download and change something else?????

Or am I doing something wrong so the profile will show the extra data?

thanks in advance....

I am trying to work out how to change the text on the left where it currently says edit Extra Options. I have been in to the USERCP Shell and tried to change this line:

<td class="$navclass[extra]" style="white-space:nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=extra">$vbphrase[edit_extra_options]</a></td>
</tr>

so that it will read:

<td class="$navclass[extra]" style="white-space:nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=extra">$vbphrase[edit_System_Spec]</a></td>
</tr>

but that didn't seem to do it. Could you assist pls.

[Wired1]

That won't do it at all, unless you have a vbphrase with that new name. You need to go into the AdminCP options, search for the var, and edit the phrase. The vBulletin manual on their website has the instructions on how to do that.

Hello Wired1,

I am upgrading my board from 3.6.4 to 3.6.8 and I see that in functions_user.php is hook at the place you edit the file:

PHP Code:

                      {
                                switch ($profilefield['form'])
                                {
                                        case 1:
                                                $customfields['login'] .= $tempcustom;
                                                break;
                                        case 2:
                                                $customfields['messaging'] .= $tempcustom;
                                                break;
                                        case 3:
                                                $customfields['threadview'] .= $tempcustom;
                                                break;
                                        case 4:
                                                $customfields['datetime'] .= $tempcustom;
                                                break;
                                        case 5:
                                                $customfields['other'] .= $tempcustom;
                                                break;
                                        default:
                                                ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('profile_fetch_profilefields_loc')) ? eval($hook) : false;
                                }
                        }
                } 


Is it possible to take advantage of this hook and get rid of manual file edits with each upgrade?

Thanks for your add-on!!!

[Wired1]

Nope, won't work.

This is just a modification of editing profile fields, so they have the same limitations.

Im guessing this doesnt work with 3.6.8? I dont see where to edit any of this stuff, nor does it show up in usercp nor anywhere in the acp that I can see. I checked vb options, everywhere.
