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.
The-Ensemble:
What is in the sub-page, more fields to enter data in, or something else? Either way, you could edit the page template and throw a link in there.
You want the stuff entered NOT to go into their profile, but just into a PM?
garyrogers:
Kewl use of the hack Sorry, no clue why it's doing that. Please restrict dropdown posts to the dropdown hack's thread, and vice versa
WARNING: allowing users to post links blatently in their profile like that screams for spammers to abuse it. What I'd do is to change it a bit, like so:
HTML Code:
<if condition="$post['field14']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href= "http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=$post[field14]" target="_blank">My Calendar from Google</a></td></tr></if>
and change the field to be a place for their email address only. That way, you know it'll go to the google calendar page. However, this may very well still be abused by crafty coders, although you could probably do some regex parsing on the field itself somehow to prevent this. No, I have no idea how to do it, just that it may be possible

Yes, So Users fill out these fields and they all combine and become the content of a PM with a set user and set title. (which I would like to be able to customize because I'll be using this more than once)

Is this possible?
Possible, yes, however it's way outside the scope of this hack. I'd search the forum here for auto-creation of PMs, that would be a good start.

I have a webbpage about marinaquarium and it should be great to use this and want a picture to
Do you mean you would like the picture to appear in their member profile and/or dropdown? If so, please specify which one or both you mean, and respond in the correct thread, which would be the add-on hack (linked to at the top of this thread).

Yes i want it in the member profile.
Is it possible to have one upload function or is it better to link to a picture in the profile.
So if i put a picture link in one textfield it came up like a picture.
I have installed this hack and have a small issue.
As you can see from the attached picture, instead of having the new field show up on the userCP all I get is a double line.
I have followed the instructions exactly and gone over them several times. Any advice?
Also, do you have instructions for actually adding the extra fields to the second page. I am slightly new at this and I cannot easily see where/how to add them.
is either not created or has no value. As for the extra fields, you need to select EXTRA OPTIONS under Display Page when creating the field, or edit an existing field to do so. Have you installed the product? it creates the phrase mentioned above.
