Profile Enhancements - Extra Profile Fields Page

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS for those upgrading to vB 3.6.10!!!

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):

Could you post this code for me? I have looked through many of the pages without any luck of finding it. I have 3.7 installed, but will try it regardless.

GameWizard, do you see this same issue?

I have a similar issue, but for me the "reset fields" button (beside the submit button) does not work at all, thats including the stock vb pages and the pages created with your hack, and all they contain is regular text multi-line text boxes. But this could very well be as a result of all the template modifications I've made, I'd have to play around with it a bit to know for sure.

Alright, I have gone through your thread and managed to dig this code up:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=137

Basically it allows me to show ALL the custom profile fields, and they become searchable. HOWEVER, I have 2 hidden fields that are appearing, which is the issue that has been made aware of here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=215

The problem is, I don't understand what he means by 'a new query'. I have tried different code variations and it simply does not work. Basically what I have discovered is that if I use only Form = 6, it will ONLY display the ones I need appropriately, and if they are hidden, it won't display them. However, as soon as I use the "form = 0 or 6" it completely ignores the hidden fields and shows them all, even though the hidden ones are not functional.

Please let me know if there is a remedy for this situation as it's important for me.

====== UPDATE =======

[high]* GameWizard pats himself on back[/high]

I figured it out, it should be:
form = 0 OR form = 6 rather than form = 0 OR 6
*this has to be done on both entries inside memberlist.php - Tested on 3.7 Gold
The result is that it displays the correct custom profile fields on your advanced member list search and keeps the unsearchable fields hidden as it should. In addition, the functionality I originally asked for is also there, which allows for search custom fields on another page (created by this hack) to be found via url:

/memberlist.php?do=getall&field23=test123 - where as field23 is located on the new page i created with this hack (previously this feature wasn't working until i fixed it with my modification above)

I will post any other issues as I find them.

Please can somebody help me. I had this hack installed on an old version of vb.

I upgraded to 3.7.0 and wanted to install this hack.

I have deleted as much as I can remember and followed the instructions. Deleted the plug-in etc.

I deleted the extra fields from the users profile field section. I then re added them as I wanted them to show in members profiles.

The problem I have is this. The details only show once in the usercp etc - and on their profiles.

My problem is that on registration they are asked the same question twice -see attached image ??

What do I have to do to get rid of the old section (The bottom section)

Please help as I don't want to confuse my new members before they have even registered.

I have no customized templates that would affect this as far as I can see.

Thanks in advance

All is working in 3.7 with just one other code edit and a few template changes & conditionals... Once again, great addon... thanks!

Well, that explains why it never worked lol! Can't believe I missed that syntax problem! Got a link to the custom search working live?

WAIT. You DELETED the Profile Fields, then re-created them? WHY? This mod does NOT touch the Profile fields AT ALL. It just changes how they're displayed! Not sure what you did exactly, but if you're seeing fields multiple times when registering, then you have multiple repeating fields in the Profile Fields in the AdminCP.

Did you make a code change for 3.7.0 that was not in the current instructions? If so, what did you do, and why?



TO ALL: Anyone using this on 3.7.0, please PM me a link ASAP! I was going to test some stuff this weekend, but hell, if it works already, then that'll save me some time!

I will be putting out a new thread in the 3.7.x area here, and probably cleaning up the instructions and whatnot. Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

To achive the functionality shown in the screenshots from my last post I had to make another code hack and a template change. I've sent over a PM with my how to although I think with some work you could make this hack even more extensible and really take advantage of the new userprofilefield categories.

Thanks for the great product again!
