Profile Enhancements - Extra Profile Fields Page

Note to all: Yes I will be upgrading this mod if needed to work with vB 4.0, but not before it goes gold on or around the ETA of December 21st. I personally wouldn't recommend anyone upgrade their forum for a couple weeks after it comes out so that the modding community has a chance to test their code on the gold version.

=========================

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

NOTE: No code changes have been made from v3.0.1 for vB 3.7.x to v3.1.0 for vB 3.8.x.

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 to do this.


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!

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 this mod (with the Add-On mod, Extra Profile Fields Tab, and a separate mod, Profile Fields in a Postbit Dropdown):
http://www.houseofhelp.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=39826


# of plugins: 3
# of php page edits: 1 (admincp/profilefield.php)
# of new templates: 1 (page)
# of template edits: 1 (USERCP_SHELL)
# of new phrases: 3 Click here for details. Also look at the attached pictures to see where they show up.

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)

The install process should only take 5 minutes at most.

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

Support will only be given to people who have hit install.

You can see the extra pages as "Character Sheets" in the UserCP area, which then also populate the 'MiniSheets' below the postbit avatars, accessible via the 'dots'. Using CES Parser perms, there is 'public' info and 'Storyteller info' in the MiniSheets and full Character Sheets, based on group membership.

is there a way top only show the additional profile page if the user is a member of a certain usergroup?

and also is it possible to only show them if they have a certain value in another profile field

Hi, I had done these changes already - I've checked, double checked and triple checked the code but still no joy.

turbo: If you throw conditionals around the plugins / template calls, then yes. I'll add that to the list of the super version I'm working on.

burlesque: Did you move the profile fields to the page?

cool ill try it out

that would be great if you can add the ability to limit access in your super version

any plans for when that might be released?

dosen't work for me, I did everything you said but I don't know where to go to add / edit profile fields, please help (did all manual edits and overwrote admincp/profilefield.php with the new edits) but still dosen't work.

Any help would be great!

Adding profile fields in the AdminCP hasn't changed.

I hope I'm not alone but I really miss this mod for VB4.

Looking forward to the upgrade.

Followed the directions to edit the USERCP_SHELL and the profilefield.php templates/file, but it's not displaying the link to "Edit Extra Options".

Update...

Never mind Wired...I found a mod I have installed that conflicts with your mod. It's the User CP Icons mod. I just disabled that mod and this is working fine, now.

Ain't no thing, but a chicken wing...

not sure if this has alread been posted

but the work around is that you need to edit the icons for usercp i just edited the icons for usercp xml and reinstalled with over write on

the edit goes like this find

<tr><td class="$navclass[profile]" nowrap="nowrap"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/usercp_icons/user_edit.png">&nbsp;<a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editprofile">$vbphrase[edit_your_details]</a></td></tr>

after put

<tr><td class="$navclass[profile]" nowrap="nowrap"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/usercp_icons/user_edit.png">&nbsp;<a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=extra">$vbphrase[extra_options]</a></td></tr>

as i said then just reinstall the icons for usercp with overwrite on and it'll appear
