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):

First off, Great mod. Love it.

Got it installed, and essentially working. Only one issue.
I've created User Profile Fields in the Admincp for use with the Options:Characters (The vbphrase I chose to create/use) yet when I click on Edit Characters in the UserCP the page comes up but no Profile Fields are there.

I know, I'm an idiot. What did I do wrong?

If all the steps were done, it should work. Hrm...

How do you integrate this hack after upgrading from 3.5.x to 3.6.x

If I uninstall the 3.5.x version and install the 3.6.x will all my user's data get erased?

Hi Wired1. Great hack, thanks! Works good.

My question is, can we add more than one extra profile fields page?

If so, how would this work?

Say for example, I have users who have widgets, one red, one blue, one yellow.

How can I it say:

Edit Yellow Widgets
Edit Blue Widgets
Edit Red Widgets

And each one have their own profile page. Does this hack support this?

Thanks!!

Is there away to add a second one aswell? I have added one, I just need one more, thanks.

Uninstall 3.5.x version by reversing the install, then install 3.6.x.

No. It's just a different way to look at profile fields.


Nineaxis, TCE Killa: Yes. The instructions are somewhere in the thread, but basically it involves duplicating the hack, and changing a couple of variable names. Only other way to do it would be to create a database to hold the fields, which some are against.

PRCNet: did you edit the pages manually as per the instructions? Also, you've turned PM receiving off.

[MiahBeSmokin420]

so i can just edit all that stuff such as extra options and lets just say extra options 2 for example

do that to all the file edits and the xml and then i can just upload it again and have 2 new pages right?

ya i think im about right on that im not too sure though idk ill test that out tomarrow

thanks

Hello Wired1,

Does this have to be the light blue in the postbit like on your site, or can it be a different colour?
