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):

IIRC, it follows the template of the forum.

Ok, thanks.

I see TechSpot are using this drop down on their site, is this yours, or have they custom coded that? They don't have the blue background, just blue writing and that's how I'd like mine (if possible).

Just got it working on our forum. Should be a great addition for our members!

i like how on the demo profile it replaces the usergroups section with the extra fields.

Will it do that to my site to? I dont use joinable usergroups anyway so swapping out those sections of memberinfo would be nice.

Looks like they coded that on their own. The dropdown is either by their own coding, or the vBulletin dropdown one, but modified.

If you follow all of the instructions, yes. IIRC there's a section in the instructions where it says that's what you're doing.

Hi, Is it possible to add more than one set of fields (i.e. two seperate boxes on the user profile page) ? I Havent looked into this code much, but might try and construct a simple gallery with it.

Depends on what you want to do, but yes, the code could be somewhat easily modified to have some fields on one box, some in another.

What type of gallery are you thinking of though? If pictures, then read up on vBulletin 3.7.0

[Hugo Firth]

No - more of a portfolio (so actually - yeah - pictures my bad), I have that part already, Im not that advanced at php, but I was wondering whether I could combine your code and this to make a simple vB mod for designers etc

BUT, I would like to have Another field, with more conventional info on it, and possible using your dropdown mod and I wondered if I could do both

[Wired1]

Hrm, a bit confused as to what you want to do exactly. Yes, you can have pics and my mod in your member profile page. 3.7.0 will drastically change the member page however, so I'd take a look at the screenshots of the new page in the vBulletin.com forums (under Announcements).
