To block a profile field from showing up in the Automatic Dropdown:

Edit the plugin Dropdown - Automatic.

FIND:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

BETWEEN those lines, enter in the FieldID's #. For example, for field6, you would make the edit like so:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Repeat as needed. Keep in mind that if an update comes out for this mod, you'll have to make the edit again, so keep notes!

Hi Wired! Thank you for the mod!

Without a screenshot, I'm still trying to visualize this.

I totally get the drop-down and title.

I have a TON of user profile field (60 additional ones), ranging from "Adventure Level", to "House Neighborhood" and "EP".

So if a member named Grin has those fields filled in with "47", "Pemberth", and "104.5", under their name in each post, the drop down will display:

Grin's Level: 47
Grin's Housing Neighborhood: Pemberth
Grin's EP: 104.5

?

Or maybe I'm just impatient and you've uploaded a screenshot in the time I've typed this. :P

Sure, if you want, it's appreciated! I should probably slap up a paypal link up, gotta find the info somewhere.

Bingo bango bongo

Don't forget to hit INSTALL!

Wired, my old user profile fields info is still partly there, is there any way to use the old info?

Also, in my userCP I still have the extra options link on the left and that just takes me to a blank page now. Can this be got rid of?

Thanks

Nope, gotta uninstall the old one by reversing the instructions basically.

If you don't want an Extra Profile Field Page, sure. Just remember to mark the profile fields to be on a different display page first!

[Dave-M]

Ok, thanks, will give that a try now

I have got it working, well, the manual setting works for me, but the automatic doesn't - It's not a problem because I needed to redo all the fields anyway.

One thing that you might want to stress in the installation instructions is to completely remove the old version because mine wouldn't work properly until that was done

I think the automatic plugin not working may be to do with the old fields being left from the 3.6.8 installation, but I can't find them anywhere to remove them. Anyway, it's up and running using the manual plugin

Thanks wired1 and don't forget to put up the donation thing.

Edit: forgot to say, I would like to have the dropdown so it just says "system specs" and not "whoever's sytem specs"

Edit 2:

Go to AdminCP -> Languages & Phrases -> Search in Phrases. Search for [dropdown_title] (no brackets). Edit and save!

I don't get any results for that search

Please slap up a paypal link... I want to throw some cash your way for this

BTW, any way to position this somewhere else in the postbit? I would like it just above the IM icon section.

"Go to AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> [STYLE NAME]
Edit Style: Dropdown Information - Manual"

I think you might want to re-word that to say;

Go to AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> [STYLE NAME]
Edit Templates: Dropdown Information - Manual

I'd have to see it to fix the dropdowns, but ultimately reversing the install of 3.6.x and then popping this in should do it. Yeah, the old code still there could pooch it a bit. Have you reverted all your templates?

Thanks wired1 and don't forget to put up the donation thing.

Edit: forgot to say, I would like to have the dropdown so it just says "system specs" and not "whoever's sytem specs"

Edit these templates:
Dropdown Call
Dropdown Information - Manual
Dropdown Information - Automatic

Find and delete

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Default it searches for Phrase Text Only. You have to hit the radio button under it for Phrase Variable Name Only

Edit whichever Dropdown plugin you're using.

FIND:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

REPLACE WITH:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

They're at the same location, so use either or, but not both

Thanks, working perfectly now on manual
