Extra Profile Fields Page

This is the 3.5.x version of Zachery's hack by the same name. (linkage)


3.6.0 version: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123253


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 can see my 3.0.x hack for that here, and the 3.5.x hack for it here.

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

http://www.houseofhelp.com/v2/member.php?u=15

NOTE: The above 2 links show the results of another hack I did that's based upon this one. In otherwords, this hack doesn't add dropdowns in posts, and doesn't hack the member page to display the extra options in a new area. For that, install the Add-On hack, Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts.

# of plugin hooks: 1
# of php page edits: 3 (or 4)
# of new templates: 1
# of template edits: 1
# of new phrases: 2

The "successfully saved" and extra option search are not tested, but they should both work.

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!.

Yep, it'd be similar to the code I recently posted about creating a second page. Read the attached file, groups.txt. It should explain everything for you.

Alright, I did the edits in the php files, but am not sure what to do next.

[Wired1]

Did you also update the page file and customize it as needed, and then associate various fields to each group?

[Jeordie015]

What page file? In the instructions, it just gives a sample template or whatever, but I have no idea what to do with it.

[Wired1]

Replace the page template that the product made with that, although you MUST customize it.

[Jeordie015]

What page template? I could never find a template for it.

[Wired1]

it's called Page PM'd you one to try w/ two groups. After you update it, The first extra options will be for the first group, the second for the second.

Hi Wired1,

I upggraded to 3.6, and it will no longer accept

Open member.php

FIND:

// END CUSTOM PROFILE FIELDS
// *************************

AFTER IT ADD:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('member_extras')) ? eval($hook) : false;

without getting database errors. Can you help piz?

probably because the hack's for vB 3.5.x and not 3.6

Installing vB 3.6.x on a test server this weekend. Did they change how hooks are implemented?

I'm not sure Wired1, because I'm not a coder, but I think it has something to do with the Infraction system. :alien:
