Profile Enhancements - Extra Profile Fields Page

For those upgrading from the 3.8.x mod, read this.

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

This product will add a new page to the User CP for easy editing of specially marked profile fields, that for one reason or another you would like to split off from the main list.

NOTE: Any fields marked for this page will not be seen in the user's profile. You would need to install the Extra Profile Fields Tab addon (haven't updated it as of yet) to do this.

Personally, I use this page for PC specs, but it can also be used for other specs as well (e.g. cars). With an ADDITIONAL product (e.g. NOT this one), I place these specs in a dropdown list under the user title in each user's post, as well as in their profile as an extra tab.

Here's some examples of how I use the 3.8.x version of this mod (with the Add-On mod, Extra Profile Fields Tab, and a separate mod, Profile Fields in a Postbit Dropdown):

To Install:
1) Save the attached product-wired1_epfp.xml file.
2) Navigate to AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product]
3) Browse to wherever you saved the file.
4) Allow Overwrite -> Yes.
5) Import!
6) Follow the instructions for the manual edits (1 template edit, 1 PHP page edit)


After the product is FULLY installed, when a you want to move a profile field to the new page for easy editing:

1. Go to the AdminCP and edit the field as normal.
2. At the bottom in the Display Page area, you will see "Which page displays this option?" The last option should say Options: <$vbphrase[extra_options]>.
3. Save!


Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

Used this mod for a while now, and am patiently waiting for the Tab mod to be completed.

I love this mod and have used it since it first came out - especially the postbit drop down extension it used to have.

Because I run a tech support forum, this was the best way of preventing members from clogging up their signature lines with system specs.

Is there an ETA on the drop down addon to this mod?

Many thanks!

Yes, patiently waiting for this before I upgrade to V4 too.

Any update on making the fields show in postbit/member pages?

[Wired1]

Please post in the appropriate threads and not this one. Having said that, yes and no. Dropdown KINDA works, but looks like shit. Can't get profile fields to output to the tab whatsoever, but I can get the array (but not what's within it) to be recognized... wahoo...

How do I get these to show up under my name in my posts?
