Profile Fields in a Postbit Dropdown
Developer Last Online: May 2013 
If you use this mod please hit INSTALL!
With this mod you can allow profile fields to show up in a dropdown below a user's name and user's title under each post. There are two ways to use this product, and each has its own plugin (and template): Dropdown - Manual (enabled by default), and Dropdown - Automated (disabled by default). NOTE: The dropdown's title shows up as [username]'s [dropdown_title]. Yes, the 's is hardcoded into the mod. Figured if I didn't hardcode it, someone wouldn't be able to figure out how to add it  To edit the title: Go to AdminCP -> Languages & Phrases -> Search in Phrases. Search for the phrase's title: [dropdown_title] (no brackets). Edit and save! The dropdown is dependent on Profile Field 5 being filled. If the user does not have this profile field filled out, then the dropdown will not show. To edit or remove this restriction: Go to the Dropdown Call Template. Find and edit, or remove these 2 lines of code (so that the dropdown will always show):
The "Dropdown - Manual" template allows you to manually create the dropdown. Some examples of how to do this are already provided within the template. This template is the default. To edit it, go to AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> [STYLE NAME] Edit Style: Dropdown Information - Manual The "Dropdown - Automated" template / plugin combo will automatically create the dropdown for ALL custom fields (it will skip the first 4 default ones). To use the automated dropdown, DISABLE Plugin "Dropdown - Manual" and ENABLE Plugin "Dropdown - Automated". Simple! To sum it up: Plugin: Dropdown - Manual PRO: You select which fields, what descriptions, and in what order you want the fields to show up. CON: Lots of typing Plugin: Dropdown - Automatic PRO: Automatic! CON: no real control, Profile fields 5 and up will show up in order. NOTE: if it is a HIDDEN profile field, apparently only the DATA is hidden, not the field name, so the field name will show up as well. To block a profile field from showing up in the Automatic Dropdown, check out this post. Version History: 3.0.0 - Initial Release 3.0.1 - Added plugin to cache templates, courtesy of ssslippy. 3.1.0 - Updated for 3.8.x, no code changes made. NOTE: Support will only be given to those who have hit install. If you use this mod please hit INSTALL! Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information.

Some have asked how to place links in the dropdown, so here's how to do it.
Change the conditionals in the Manual template like so:

I've asked this before, however, I haven't been able to fix the problem...
I'm hoping someone sees this and can recommend a fix. (See attached image) The problem is the drop down wants to make itself the width of the username...and I want to bypass this and use a fixed width for the dropdown. Any suggestions...anyone? No members have liked this post.

Hey Wired1,
I had your mod installed previously for vb v.3.7.x. Couple odd things occurred when upgraded to v3.8.x, which caused me to uninstall it. I have gone to reinstall your mod now and have it working...sort of. The drops downs all appear and contain all the information that users had entered before. The problem and I don't know exactly how, but those created profile fields are no longer in the User CP to edit. This is confirmed in the ACP as well. My first thought was that..ok, all the data is there and in the right places, however, access to the data is nonexistent. I was thinking that I go and create those User Profile fields again, making sure I try to make them exactly as before, and then the data would be accessible. Idk if this matters, but I previously had your Extra Profile Fields Tab mod as well. Also removed it for similar reasons. Memory is bad on exactly what prompted me to do this, but I recall that the link ...Edit Extra Options was gone. I believe that is b/c I did not modify the profilefield.php file upon upgrading. For now, I'd just like this mod to work such that people can edit their data. What's your take? Thanks in advance No members have liked this post.

TigerC10, would you by any chance know how to fix the problem wherein the dropdown extends off the page? Appears only to happen in Firefox. No members have liked this post.

Well, the length is determined by the CSS handler for each browser with that code segment. Because of the "position: absolute" property, it acts independently from the CSS of the items containing it. This might be why Firefox makes it go off the screen... But the "width: auto" is supposed to automatically size the div to the size of its contents.
You could try switching it to "position: relative" instead, but I think that would invalidate the "width: auto" property. I've never been a fan of CSS because of how it is handled differently between different browsers.

Even though I know there's the ability to add a link using the afore mentioned process...it would be better if this mod allowed the use of the url bbcode tag in the profile field, since someone may want to link to something different then what can be coded in the template.
Say with what our site uses it for...I could enter my processor name and then link it to the manufacturer's website. Since everyone doesn't have the same processor...what was mentioned before about adding a link (by Jasem) is moot. No members have liked this post.
