Tagged. Waiting for code clean up.

[Wired1]

Seriously, WTF does tagging do.

[CvP]

tagging is like "bookmarking".
I tagged it too. When I upgrade to 4.0.6 this week, i will install it and mark as installed

I've been looking for something like this for a while. I can confirm that it is working fine on v4.0.6.

Thanks!

Hi Wired1,

Thanks for this.

I have the dropdown and it is displaying some old info from the old version on 3.8.x. What's even weirder is that I've got no fields to fill in, there's no new fields in my profile at all. Have I missed something fundamental here?

I'm on 4.0.5.

Thanks

[Wired1]

What type of old info? Did you revert the templates first (backing up whatever info in the manual template you did)?

[Dave-M]

Motherboard, CPU details were still there, we had about 10 fields as I remember.

Which templates should I have reverted? I can't remember which ones held that info to be honest.

Edit: Also, the phrase edits that I made for the old version to read "System Specs" was still there too. All old plugins were uninstalled.

Fixed one alignment issue with a little workaround, search phrases for whatever your dropdown is called, mine is "System Specs" and just add alt+0160 twice after it, save and that should align the text. It's not very scientific, I know, but it works. I've added an attachment to show it.

Got it working thanks mate

Just in case anyone else gets stuck in the same way I did. Grab Wired1's extra profile field plugin and use the numbered fields in that to create the sections in your dropdown box, that made it much easier for me.

What would be great is if we could add longer lines of text, because what seems to happen is that it forces the line below to the line below that, if that makes sense?

[Wired1]

What did it look like for you with the alignment issue?

You don't need that mod for this one to work. If you look at the profile fields in the AdminCP you can find out the profile field IDs.

No, that doesn't make sense lol. Mind posting a pic of what you're talking about?

[Dave-M]

The alignment issue I was referring to, was the text inside the box (see the attachment I posted earlier in the thread) was forced to the right and there was a larger gap (2 extra spaces on the left of the text).

I know you don't need the other plugin, but if, like me, you already had it installed previously for 3.8.x, all your custom fields are still there when you install the new version, so all you need to do is fill in the numbers on your dropdown manual template and you're done.

I've added another attachment to show what I meant about the text being pushed down. For example, if you look at the RAM specs, they are slightly too long to fit in the box, so instead of creating themselves an extra line underneath and moving the other items down one, they are just forcing themselves onto the next line, you can see the "C8" which was the last part of the RAM specs has been forced onto the power supply line, and then all subsequent lines are also forced down one position. Make sense now?
