IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS for those upgrading to vB 3.6.10!!!

Spoiler (click to open)

NOTE!!!! Change for 3.6.10!!!

Technical explanation on CSRF changes

Because of this change, one line needs to be added to the PAGE template. You can either edit the template with the instructions below, or you can download the attached product-wired1_epfp(3.6.10 ONLY).xml, RENAME it to product-wired1_epfp.xml, and then install normally. As per any vB upgrade with this mod, when upgrading to vB 3.6.10 you'll still have to do the manual edits that are listed in the instructions again.

vB AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> (Select Style) -> page

Find:

Code:

<form action="profile.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[dbsessionhash]" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="updateextra" />

Under it add:

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

EVERYONE: PLEASE BE CRYSTAL CLEAR IN WHAT ISSUES YOU ARE HAVING WITH THIS MOD IF YOU ARE USING IT IN 3.7.x! A 3.7.x version is already in the works.

------------------------------------------------------------

You can find the 3.5.x version of this hack here.

This hack will add an extra page to the User CP. This area can be used for extra profile fields that for one reason or another you would like to split from the main list.

Personally, I use this page for PC specs, but it can also be used for other specs as well (e.g. cars). I have the specs in a dropdown list under the user title in each user's post, as well as in their profile page, but that's another hack You'll see a link to it under Add-Ons to the right.

Here's some examples of how I use this hack (with the Add-On hack, Additional Section within Profile and Dropdown within Posts):
