Profile Enhancements - Extra Profile Fields Page

For those upgrading from the 3.8.x mod, read this.

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

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 (haven't updated it as of yet) to do this.

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 the 3.8.x version of this mod (with the Add-On mod, Extra Profile Fields Tab, and a separate mod, Profile Fields in a Postbit Dropdown):

Good catch, thanks!

After the 4.1.1 update, the extra page doesn't show in the settings page. Clicking on the link doesn't display it either. The tab (the other product) still seems to display the information and it is editable there within the tab.)

Any fix?

Thanks.

You need to re-do the manual edits.

Yes, I did the two edits. One to insert the link on the settings page and the other to the php file. Am I missing something else?

Thanks

EDIT: I found the problem in the product file. I did the redirect edit and missed a "{". Sorry for the bother. Love this product!!

First off all thank you for your mod, i like it!

But i also have an short question: which Profile Fields in a Postbit Dropdown mod did you use? i cann't find any but i realy like it how it's made on your forum. Please could you point me in the right direction?

UPDATE: found it :-)

I need some help with an little tweak (i think).

I want to make an field where user's can put in one or more url's from there website's. That is not a big problem but those url's must be clickable. (use your tab mod to and the dropdown postbit)
I did tweak the dropdown postbit so the url do show up as an link with this code

				<li class="left">Webwinkel-adres: </li>
					<li class="right"><a href="{vb:var post.field5}">{vb:var post.field5}</a></li>

And that is working for one url (text) line, when people do add an second it is not working. Do you have any tips for fixing that?

Second question where and how do i change the template of the dropdown menu? The problem i now have is that when user's have a very long url it will fallout of the template.

I hope you can and will help me and sorry for crappy english.

Couldn't find it in this thread...maybe I'm blind. Anyway, how do you change the link in the User CP to read, "Edit PC Specs", rather than "Edit Extra Options"?

Sorry if this has been covered before...

[Saviour]

Never mind...found it.

Hello, Wired...

Although I have an extra tab in a user's Profile...and their PC Specs show up there...with the ability to edit, etc....and it works in the dropdown....the link in the USERCP is not working. It returns a blank page.

Here's my link:

http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/forum/profile.php?do=extra

Any idea why the link to edit a user's PC Specs wouldn't work?

[Saviour]

Never mind, Wired...

I just re-imported the product and allowed overwrite. It's working now.

Sorry...
