Great job, Floris. Thanks!

 

[Floris]

You too, for writing the article. I hope it helps people to quickly add a new tab.
Feel free to re-use the plugin and release it with a new version, I will update it in this thread then, etc.

Great initiative from both of you guys

Great job man, works wonderful! Thank you. Question, would it be hard to get a radio button in the custom profile field so we could choose the extra tab for displaying custom profile fields ?

 

[Floris]

Very interesting!

There's a template included in member_view that is called customer_field_view which goes through the different fields, {$field.id} doesn't exist it seems, just title + outcome.

If you could use <xen:container> there inside an if conditional that does:

if field.title == 'Display Extra Tab' { xen:container var= .. }

and then in the xenfans_extraprofiletab template you could use this custom var (if it populates) to check against it's value. 0 or 1.

A custom display? user field has to be created.

To be honest, I haven't tested this, just thinking outloud, plus .. if users know how to do THiS, they don't need this plugin, they can just code it straight-out. SO I am not so sure 'currently' if this is the best way to go.

So yeah, I think it's possible, how user friendly it will be is unclear to me right now.

Title of this thread should be the same as the name of the plug-in. (s/Field/Tab/)

Considering I made a vB mod just like this back in the day, I approve! Saves me the time and effort of muddling through re-learning OOP and XF code anyway

Admins will definitely want the capability to have multiple tabs, as well as multiple areas to edit custom profile fields. Some people would install my vB extra profile fields page (which separated custom profile fields into their own menu to edit) and the tabs mod multiple times. Quite honestly I think it should be that way from the beginning for all forum software, but that's just me.

I'd use it to allow people to have a tab for specs of multiple PCs. Others used my mods for PC specs, car specs, character specs, etc.

Thanks for pointing it out. I overlooked that completely. Woopsyf*daisy. I've reported the post to request a mod to change this.

Feel free to get the .zip and update it, contribute code to it and return it to me. I am happy to release it with your contributions and with full credits. Teamwork for the win.

ps,

I have a version on my localhost that has support for multiple tabs, with per tab enable checkbox, and title.
I am looking into a few other features, but I am not too familiar with the member_view template and the new 1.1 custom profile fields. I am hoping to get some code contributions from others.

 

[rowedf]

If I could code, I'd help ya, I think its a great feature and thanks for the work!

 

[Floris]

New version is out, now support up to 3 tabs

global on/off
per tab on/off
per tab title

Listener.php slightly updated to support more tabs.

 

[rowedf]

Floris, whats the easiest way to get content in the tabs?

I'm going to update now and take a look.

 

[rowedf]

Hmm, I uninstalled the previous version, reinstalled the new one and I don't have any tabs.

 

[Fuhrmann]

Have you checked the options?

 

[rowedf]

That's just it, I don't see those options, I uploaded all the new files and XML ... but still don't see those in ACP options, just looks like the first version still.

 

[Fuhrmann]

That's true. The Listener.php is updated, but the .xml dont.
See:

// if first, second or third tab needs to be displayed, ..
                if ($options->xenfans_extraprofiletab_link_one == 1)
                {
                    $xenfans_extraprofiletab_one = $template->create('xenfans_extraprofiletab_one', $template->getParams());
                    $rendered = $xenfans_extraprofiletab_one->render();
                    $contents .= $rendered;
                }
                if ($options->xenfans_extraprofiletab_link_two == 1)
                {
                    $xenfans_extraprofiletab_two = $template->create('xenfans_extraprofiletab_two', $template->getParams());
                    $rendered = $xenfans_extraprofiletab_two->render();
                    $contents .= $rendered;
                }
                if ($options->xenfans_extraprofiletab_link_three == 1)
                {
                    $xenfans_extraprofiletab_three = $template->create('xenfans_extraprofiletab_three', $template->getParams());
                    $rendered = $xenfans_extraprofiletab_three->render();
                    $contents .= $rendered;
                }
