Extra Profile Fields Page

This is the 3.5.x version of Zachery's hack by the same name. (linkage)


3.6.0 version: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123253


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 can see my 3.0.x hack for that here, and the 3.5.x hack for it here.

Here's some examples of how I use this hack (with the Add-On hack, Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts):

NOTE: The above 2 links show the results of another hack I did that's based upon this one. In otherwords, this hack doesn't add dropdowns in posts, and doesn't hack the member page to display the extra options in a new area. For that, install the Add-On hack, Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts.

# of plugin hooks: 1
# of php page edits: 3 (or 4)
# of new templates: 1
# of template edits: 1
# of new phrases: 2

The "successfully saved" and extra option search are not tested, but they should both work.

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!.

Screw looking at code, I finished the other hack:

I kinda forgot I had already done 95% of the documentation, just had to clean it up a bit. Please post any questions / comments about it in the new thread.

Thank you for the link.
I have been talking with KirbyDE. He is doing the modification for me. I think it will be release here too.

No problemo. Tell him to check out the add-on hack, it may help him out.

Simplifying the extra fields entry form in the back end is my next goal, and then multiple pages after that. Of course, my other hack will be similarly upgraded to deal with these changes.

Hello!
This change of the php files, must this be?
Is it not to be done possibly this about a Plugin or product without changing the PHPs?

Nope. There are no plugin locations near this area, and to place an articifial hook at the same locations would defeat the purpose, as they are 1 line hacks.

Also, if you have installed this hack, please hit the install button, thanks!

Hello!
This is very bad!
I would like to want to change no PHPs on the new 3.5.
Up to now to realize another solution this gabs then always, nevertheless.
I will not install the minced meat!
Although it is a first-class thing.

If you think it's bad, blame Jelsoft for not placing hooks at every single line. Some hacks just can't be done with only hooks.

Great hack, works perfectly ... just one thing I can't find

Where do I edit the "Extra Info Page" text in the navbar breadcrumbs?

Scrap that, I found it in the plugin text.
