Profile Enhancements - Extra Profile Fields Tab

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

This is an evolution of my Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts mod from 3.6.x.

If you have a pre-3.7.x version installed:
UNINSTALL the old product and reverse the edits. Don't forget to revert those templates

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This product builds upon my Extra Profile Fields Page product. This product places the Extra Profile Fields into a new tab on the user's Public Profile.

Does anyone want a future version of this to have a mini block w/ the same data?

To Install:
1) Save the attached product-extratab.xml file.
2) Navigate to AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product]
3) Browse to wherever you saved the file.
4) Import!

Version History:
1.0.0 - Initial Release
1.0.1 - Cached template

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

Damned if I know The mod's pretty much a schmorgasboard of code from my previous mods + this tutorial on how to make a tab.

Put it this way: Any code that works on the About Me Tab's profile fields should automatically work on this tab, and if it doesn't, it should only take a modification or two to get it to work here.

There's 3 points where it intersects with templates:

In the Plugin: Extra Profile Fields Tab

	if ($profilefield['value'] != '')
	{
		$show['extrainfo'] = true;
		eval('$category[\'fields\'] .= "' . fetch_template('memberinfo_profilefield') . '";');
	}
}

if ($category['fields'])
{
	eval('$profilefields .= "' . fetch_template('memberinfo_profilefield_category') . '";');
}

and then of course there's the TEMPLATE: memberinfo_block_EPFP_tab.

I dont have the knowledge of this stuff so this may be completely absurd, but is there a way to put a small picture on the Extra Profile Tab?

I am using this mod on a Motocross forum and just got it going today and it is very well liked. The only thing I have had a few people ask for is if they could put a picture of their bike in there as well. Similar to how the About Me tab has their signature picture.

Is this possible to do?

Since it's done in another tab, it's definitely possible, looking at different ways to do it. Where would you be storing this picture though?

Anyway to stop this using any queries, or at least cut down on one?

I have no idea where I could store it. I guess anywhere would work, similar to the profile or signature picture. Or maybe have it hosted on photobucket or something like that and let them link to the offsite picture. I really dont know how that would work. I think it would be cool if you could go to the usercp "edit extra options" and put it in there at the bottom of the specs list.

Let me know if I can be of any help. I dont know much about code, so if I cant I will be sure to throw some $ your way. :up:

Ummm, how would I make each category title bold in the tab? For example: CPU bold, Hard Drive bold ect ect.

[neologan]

it would be cool to be able to hook some album pics to the tab, but that sounds like a lo of work.

? It only has ONE query, and it's necessary for now.

The profile and sig pics have their own locations within the database, and I'd like to stay away from any DB edits if possible. The album is what I was thinking of, but I haven't looked at the album code yet.

You mean the Profile Field titles, not categories. I'm just using the standard memberinfo_profilefield template for them, just like the About Me tab uses.

Ok, no worries. Well, I did some testing and this seems to use two queries. Not a big deal, though I guess.
