I guess so... all you have to add the following changes to USERCP_SHELL instead of the ones mentioned in the hack description:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == XX">
<tr>
	<td class="$navclass[extra]" style="white-space:nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=extra">Extra Info</a></td>
</tr>
</if>

Where XX is the usergroup you want to allow access.

Note that this is not fool-proof. A user who KNOWS that there is such an extra field section and who knows the url can access it directly. In this case, I guess adding some php code would do the trick.

Thx for that alexander,

I'll have a further go then myself.

I'm setting up vB for my fraternity. so far we've used a private Lotus Notes R5 DB for internal affairs, however I can't give access to our alumni anymore and I would like to have some sort of "address tool" that I can associate with vB users... I think those extra fields will do the trick.

I'm not sure if I have changed my profile.php.

Here are my lines 2415-2120

PHP Code:

                $attachsize = ceil($attachsum / $permissions['attachlimit'] * 100);
                $totalsize = 100 - $attachsize;
            }

            $attachlimit = vb_number_format($permissions['attachlimit'], 1, true);
        } 


Is that the right place to add?

yea...profile.php has changed...

Can somebody update where this needs to be placed? I'm trying to find my copy of rc1 to try and figure it out...

[AlexanderT]

it is not really so important where you put the code... you can for instance put the hack code ABOVE the following original code:

PHP Code:

// ############################### List of attachments for current user ################
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'editattachments')

thanks...got it installed..

but I changed something trying to change some of the displayed text and now I no longer have the extra options appear in the admincp when using the profile field manager. The Extra fields are still in the usercp and if I add a new profile field, I can select the other: extra, and it appears in the usercp, but not in the admin profile manager. I've checked the profilefield.php file but I must be missing something

thanks

[AlexanderT]

yes i suggest you go over Zachery's hack instruction again. There shouldn't be any problem with admincp and the hack if you follow the instruction correctly.

Out of curiosity, how would I refer to the custom field in the postbit?

[Zachery]

Same way you do any other field in the postbit

$post[fieldX]

[Sketch]

yeah but is it referred to as fieldx or is it referred to by name (in my case, blog)? Bear with me, it's been about 8 months since I did any kind of extensive work with vB and vb3 is quite different, you know?
