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):

Would anyone like to reveal what they did to get this working on 3.7.0 please?



Edit: Sorry, its the dropdown thing I want to know about, I will post in the other thread

Just as a quick update:

I'm working on the dropdown mod ATM, and it's looking like it may have NO edits necessary. So, the same may be possible for this mod. Looks like a lot of hooks were added.

ATM though, it's either leave some edits in, and remove the SQL query, or keep the SQL query in, and remove some manual edits. I'm going the 2nd route, as if Jelsoft listens to the modders, and makes a tweak, then the SQL query will no longer be necessary.

Any news on the 3.7 in the last 2 days? I'm waiting to open my forum until this is updated because I run a site for bands and fans that require different profile fields. No rush.. just waiting.

[Wired1]

Any comment on my last post?

[Conner85]

I'd say go for the 2nd option, or whichever is easier. Sorry about that. I didn't know you were looking for any input from us.

From my side I would be happy just to have the drop down box in the postbit_legacy, I'm not too concerned about the info being on the members profile page.

Hopefully I'll have the 3.7.x version done this weekend. Technically it's no longer needed, as the dropdown mod is a full product now (no manual edits, yay!) and doesn't rely on any of the edits from it. Yes, the dropdown product is done, just gotta double check it, clean up some stuff, but it's fully functional.
