Profile Enhancements - Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts

NOTE: After checking out the vBulletin 3.7 First Look thread, which contains significant changes to the Member Profile page, it is clear that this mod as-is will probably not work properly when it comes to displaying the Extra Profile Info on that page. As soon as an official 3.7 comes out, I'll start working on the changes.

The 3.5.x version of this hack can be found here.

This hack builds upon my Extra Profile Fields Page hack. This template mod lets you take the extra fields from that hack and places them within a dropdown that sits below the user's title within each post, as well as replaces the Group Memberships area with a listing of only these specs. The EPFP hack is basically the entry form for the data that's manipulated in this hack. Please check out the pics at the EPFP hack link to get the full idea.

In my case, it is used for PC specs (and as you will see the instructions are tailored towards this), however it can be easily used for parts or specifications of almost anything (car parts for example).

An example is shown here:

Example of user profile with specs:

# of plugin hooks: 1
# of php page edits: 1 (just 1 line to add the custom hook line into member.php)
# of template edits: 3
# of phrase edits: 1

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

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

Also, please post where you've installed this, as I'd like to see how people are using it. Or if guests can't see the effects, then please post a pic.

Double checked I hadn't done a typo :O

Removing the hook line obviously stops it 0 but taking out the member info from member.php doesn't.

Hmmm

Other than that, everything else is working.

Fixed the instructions. Do you have the other hack installed?

Well, that error does indicate a typo, so you've got me! Could be an extra </DIV> or something copied in there possibly when you manually copied the info into the member.php. I know when testing it out and copying in code, I've accidentally left an extra div or </SOMETHING> in there. BTW, glad to see another tech site using the hack Going to use it for PC specs I take it?

Hello Wired,

When I try to import the .xml file as a Product, vB says that it seems to be a Module and not a Product. So it advises me to import it as Module, but there I don't how to do with such type of file.

It's a plugin, not a product. Go to Download / Upload Plugins and import it.

Hello Wired,

Thanks for your reply.
I think I did now everything I was supposed to do for your two hacks (i.e. with EPFP), but I don't have any dropdown menu next to my username.

I may have done something wrong...

1. do you have any profile fields in the edit page?
2. did you change any of the fields to be in the edit page?

As far as I know, yes, I did all that, it's why I don't understand.

But obviously, I may have missed something

[Wired1]

Only thing I can think of is to go over the instructions again, as I know it works fine. If you want I (or someone else you trust) could look at your adminCP settings I guess.

[Wired1]

Looked them over, I'm guessing you've left in the conditional for field 5, and nothing's there.
