Profile Enhancements - Extra Profile Fields Page

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

You can find the 3.6.x version of this hack here.

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. A mod I'll release later on will create a tab for them, fully editable like the "About Me" tab.

After the product is FULLY installed, when a you want to move a profile field to the new page for easy editing:

1. Go to the AdminCP and edit the field as normal.
2. At the bottom in the Display Page area, you will see "Which page displays this option?" The last option should say Options: $vbphrase[extra_options].
3. Save!

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

Please forgive me if this has been answered somewhere. But after importing both .xml files and making the changes to the two html files, all I get is this. When I click on the link "Edit Extra Options", I don't see any thing on the right side.

Please see screen shot.

Thank you so much Wired1. This is a very cool mod.

Suppose I want to change the name in the tab from "extra options" to "My Favarites", Could you tell me where I would go to change that.

Thanks so much.

This is not the tab mod. Please read the instructions at the top in full on both threads and they will explain what you are looking for.

All this mod does is move the edit area of certain marked profile fields to a new page. It has nothing to do with displaying images. I would suggest that you start a new thread asking how to use a profile field (containing a URL) to display an image, where ever you'd like the image to be displayed.

Success at at last

Used this option https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=138476 to allow images in user profile fields.


Just one question. Is there a template I can edit to clean up the layout ie; when somebody is viewing the extra profile fields page of another member, can I alter the layout ?

[Wired1]

No one can see someone else's EPFP, as it is an EDIT only page.

Installed and lovin it.
