Profile Enhancements - Extra Profile Fields Tab

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

This is an evolution of my Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts mod from 3.6.x.

If you have a pre-3.7.x version installed:
UNINSTALL the old product and reverse the edits. Don't forget to revert those templates

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This product builds upon my Extra Profile Fields Page product. This product places the Extra Profile Fields into a new tab on the user's Public Profile.

Does anyone want a future version of this to have a mini block w/ the same data?

To Install:
1) Save the attached product-extratab.xml file.
2) Navigate to AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product]
3) Browse to wherever you saved the file.
4) Import!

Version History:
1.0.0 - Initial Release
1.0.1 - Cached template

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

It shouldn't show the tab unless you've made the manual edits someone else asked for. Either way, it won't stop the query.

I'll second this! I know this would be great for a lot of forums out there.

For instance...car forums...or our forums...

One for CarPC specs, one for audio specs, and one for vehicle specs....

:up:

Hmm, so no way to stop this:

He hasn't filled in his system specs, yet the tab still shows...

Shouldn't even happen though. Gotta modify the code to make it do that, unless there's some vB setting that's doing it. Un/reinstall the product.

It would absolutely make things better for some forums. More intuitive with the User CP from a users standpoint for sure. The way the built-in tabbing and category system shows profile fields in the 'About Me' tab even when they have their own tab or block is rather silly. I just don't see the point in it.

This is a very useful mod, Wired. Thank you.

Yes. It would be great.

*Installed* - and loving it! Brilliant modification, M8! :up:

Is there a way to link to the specific tab this mod creates? I would like to be able to link to it from a thread. Right now, I just link to the profile and the first tab shows opened. I want to be able to link to the content in the different tabs.

Is this possible? If so, what is the tab's URL ?

Thanks,
Kether

Well, I figured out how to link to the other tabs (friends, stats, contactinfo, etc) but cannot find a way to link the tab this modification creats. It appears to be 'EPFP_tab" but that does not work. Anyone have any idea? It is a bummer to not be able to link to the content on this specific tab.

Thanks for your help!

I made the tab from a tutorial here on vB.org, and there's no mention on how to do it there. I checked the HTML, and it all looks the same, so I don't know why it's not working. What's the link that works for the other tabs?

BTW, if you're just trying to get profile info in posts, check out my Dropdown mod.
