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!

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

The link for the other tabs are as follows:

For About Me: ?tab=aboutme  
For Contacts: ?tab=contact
For Friends:    ?tab=friends
For Statistics: ?tab=stats

I used firefox web browser and the Firebug Addon to inspect the links since they are basically hidden because the ajax changes the tabs but doesn't reload the page.

I see that the link for your mod's tab is supposed to be

?tab=EPFP_tab

But it will not work for some reason. It always loads the regular profile page.

I am using the link in the drop down of the profile. It was an easy template edit to put it in, but I still need to get the correct url to display the custom tab.

Thanks for any assistance you can offer. And again - excellent modification!

Thanks,
Kether

Anyone know of a way to link to the tab that this mod creates? I still cannot get it to link directly to the specific tab. It always opens the profile's first tab and not the one this modification creates.

Thanks for any help!

Do you have an example of a FULL URL link to a tab (that works)?

This does not work for me:

This is how it works for me:

http://www.yoursitename.com/forum/members/kether.html?tab=friends
or
http://www.yoursitename.com/forum/members/kether.html?tab=stats
etc...

Hope this helps!

I have VBSEO so my urls are rewritten. Here is a link that works on your site.

Ah, I typed in a ? before it instad of an &.

I think I know how to fix it, I'll do some testing.

my apologies if this is already discussed, but i was wondering if this could handle multiple tabs? i use this for system specs, but had the idea of another tab with extra details for console user names and all that stuff.

I'd also really like a way to edit each fields look, with images etc. At the moment you are using some nice code, but it makes it hard to edit. I'm quite happy to just throw some less advanced code to get the fields to show up in the template, and then edit them all with images etc, and use the <if> to make them not disply if it's not filled in etc.

I love this mod, but i really think it needs these sort of options in there so it can be customised more.

any thoughts on ways to do this?

i added a custom User Profile Field and wanted it to be second inline, but it's pushing in front of the system specs plugin. I assume it's using the same hook here, so how to i get the pc specs tab to display in front of it.

the custom field is "gaming": http://forums.pureoverclock.com/member.php?u=1

Try editing the plugin and changing the Execution Order # of the plugin.

i've changed them to 1, but it hasn't changed things.
