Extra Profile Fields Page · **Released**: 10-12-2005

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/showthread.php?t=39826
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!.

pipin just asked the same thing.

Ramsesx: Sorry, missed your post. It's just a modification of how profile fields are presented and edited, but their properties haven't changed, In otherwords, I didn't hack that part. I have been thinking about that, unfortunately I can see lots of ways to abuse it, so I'm not going to hack profile permissions just yet. Search the forums though, maybe someone else already did.

Ok big thanks for your answers. I haven't understand.

Great addon... thanks for getting this out! I just wish this could be done without code hacks... hah!

If you're having trouble showing the custom fields on user's profiles try doing this as well:

in member.php find

PHP Code:


			
$profilefields = $db->query_read("

    SELECT profilefieldid, required, title, type, data, def, height

    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield

    WHERE form = 0 " . iif(!($permissions['genericpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_genericpermissions['canseehiddencustomfields']), "

        AND hidden = 0") . "

    ORDER BY displayorder

");

and change it to

PHP Code:


			
$profilefields = $db->query_read("

    SELECT profilefieldid, required, title, type, data, def, height

    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "profilefield

    WHERE form = 0 or form = 6 " . iif(!($permissions['genericpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_genericpermissions['canseehiddencustomfields']), " /* hacked for extra profile page --> dive info */

        AND hidden = 0") . "

    ORDER BY displayorder

");

Where 6 is the value of this particular profile page.

Hi!
i am very interested in your modification!

i am runnning a software testing forum at www.elite-squad.net. Its about the free HTPC software Media Portal.

Our members are reporting bugs in the forum, therefor they have to use a system specification template in their posts. they have to post it every time when they start a new bugreport. thats realy borthering me as admin.

::example Bug Report::

it would be realy realy great if you could change your mod a bit to fit your needs.

adding the system specs in the usercp is great!
when posting a reply or starting a new thread a option to add the system specs would realy help us! but it has to be added as text of the message! if the systemspecification would change after i have posted a bugreport the information would get useless.

Or would it be possible that this user specific hardware setup appears automatically when starting a new topic in a specific forum?

This is the template we are using.

Windows Version: your windows version incl. service packs
CPU Type: manufacturer and speed
Memory: amount and type
Motherboard Chipset: manufacturer and model
Video Card: manufacturer and model
Video Card Driver: driver version you used for testing
Video Render Type: VMR9 or Overlay
Video Codec Type & Version: video codec you used for testing
Audio Codec Type & Version: audio codec you used for testing
TV Card: type of TV card, manufacturer and model
TV Card Type: software / hardware / DVB
TV Card Driver: driver version you used for testing
Satelite/CableTV Provider: i.e. Astra 19.2?E

thats a great idea, we are running a hardware forum and are considering similar things for a minireview forum, where users can post their reviews about hardware and it would be nice if their whole system would be included in their posting.

and for hardware or software help forums it would be nice too as an option to include system spec at top of the postings. :classic:

Pretty sure it's doable. A conditional trigger could flip the postbit area where you make posts from a blank one to one with the PC specs (as of that posting).

The PC specs @ top of posting is already done (the vB 3.0.x hack works fine in 3.5.0). I'll flip out a new hack (double checking code mainly, improvements later) ASAP. Coding ain't #1 on my list after working 10 hours in a day! ATM it looks like my work schedule will be back to normal on Thurs I think. I'm going to try to take a look at the code at least tonight.

Check out www.houseofhelp.com if you want to see the post spec dropdown in action.

BTW Avalon, u know about www.htpcnews.com ? Great HTPC site.

2.0.2
Nothing to worry about, just removed some code from the instructions that's for my other hack! Here's the snippet I removed:

Code:

====================================

To create the new hook:


Open /includes/xml/hooks_vbulletin.xml

FIND:

		<hook>member_complete</hook>

AFTER IT ADD:

		<hook>member_extras</hook>


This creates a new hook location:

Hook Location: vBulletin: Member's Profile -> member_extras (see? I told you it would create a new hook!)


Now, we have to place it in the file.

Open member.php

FIND:

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

AFTER IT ADD:

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