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!.

You have to be a member to see anything so here is a screenie (You'll see I edited the template slightly too by adding the catagory strip thing at the top)

I also added the bit to show the info in the groups pane too

Ok, I really tried everything, and it just doesn't seem to work...

I really went through all the steps 3 times each but it just doesn't work...

First of all, when you go to your User CP, it comes out blank.

Second, when I enter ..../profile.php?do=extra in my firefox, I can see the fields that I got matched, I enter something and it doesn't show me the Redirect thing you said it would...

Third, I cannot see anything changed in my profile.

Can you please tell me what is wrong?

[Wired1]

Redirect's bugged, damned if I know why, still tracking it down.

As for the other parts, sounds like you need to install this:

Also, PLEASE hit install!

It is not installed yet, your second plug-in is really complicated to modify...

What is up with this: <a href="#specs">$post[username]'s PC Specs</a>..

<div id="specs_$post[postid]" class="vbmenu_control">
what do i change it to? and where do I change them?

[The Chief]

Installed and works fine, but their is still a edit_extra_fields problem with the phrases...

I really don't get why... I added it manually though and it works, thanks again!

*clicks install*
