Profile Enhancements - Extra Profile Fields Page

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS for those upgrading to vB 3.6.10!!!

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=269

EVERYONE: PLEASE BE CRYSTAL CLEAR IN WHAT ISSUES YOU ARE HAVING WITH THIS MOD IF YOU ARE USING IT IN 3.7.x! A 3.7.x version is already in the works.

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

You can find the 3.5.x version of this hack here.

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.

Here's some examples of how I use this hack (with the Add-On hack, Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts):

And: whem I look at the vB User Profile Field Manager, it doesn't show my fields!

It goes from 1-2-3-4-9 (!). 5-6-7-8 are gone!

I had to reinstall everything because when I upgraded to vb 3.6.1 it overwrited everythin.

Now in my forum everythin is workin right.

I also reinstalled everything. Made the file edits again etc.

But it almost looks like that the fields are gone?

[The-Ensemble]

maybe you should add the profile fields again, or look in the template for creating the profile fields, you can code profile fields to appear and not work, just check they aint there.

[marlita]

How do I get these new fields to show up on the memberlist and how can I set it so that I can search by these new fields?

[The-Ensemble]

I'm not sure you can, Oo wait I'm sure you set it to do that in user profile field manager.

[marlita]

user profile field manager? can you explain more, please? thanks

"FIND:

AFTER IT ADD:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('member_extras')) ? eval($hook) : false;"

I get database error..

why is that?
Will everythin work evern without this line?

That code does NOT exist in this hack. Please post in the correct area:
Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts

In otherwords, under User Profile Fields in Area: Edit Profile you have 1-2-3-4-9, and there is no User Profile Fields in Area: Options: Extra Options under that, correct? If so, have you done ALL of the manual edits? Specifically, the edits to admincp/profilefield.php?

a) Please read the first post, as it does explain this. Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts
b) https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98282 (3.5 version of this hack) - it has instructions at the end of the instruction file on how to make them searchable... HOWEVER IT WAS NEVER TESTED. I WILL NOT SUPPORT THAT CODE UNDER ANY VERSION OF THIS HACK.

Yes, you can set profile fields to be searchable when you create / edit a profile field... HOWEVER it will not work with the "extra options" profile fields. Code WILL need to be edited in the memberlist.php for it to work. The code listed in the 3.5 instructions for searchable profiles will DEFINITELY NOT work with 3.6 due to some changes in how Jelsoft changed some of their code. If you change

query_read

to

query_read_slave

in the instructions, it will probably work, but again, I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS. NO GUARANTEE OF ANYTHING. If you screw up your forum, it's your fault. Test code on TEST forums, not live ones!

But how? It's making NEW fields with NEW ID's. So my members have to fill in their profile again?

[The-Ensemble]

I'm not 100% myself, I know coding can make input fields which could cause your problem, I'd suggest just checking the code is right.

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

Could someone please tell me how to insert the input fields without using the $conditions thingy, I mean I want to put a certain amount of fields in a top tds, then have a new box with new title and have more fields in that one, to make things neater.
How would I do that and still have working fields?
