Custom Profile Field Mod

[perplexed]

you could try using the package parser to track down what code this mod added to your files and remove it manually.  Then if you want, install the latest version 3.17

Yes, the tab was showing before.

And i put the code like in this post, http://jovant.guruserve.com/test-forum/index.php?topic=19.0
as you have told me to do this

hmmm did you do it exactly as it says in that post?  I don't see how it wouldn't be working, did you also remember to uncomment the section?

Then, uncomment whole block of code. (Find and delete /* and */ that are around this block)

Yes I did, and i see the field in the profile, only i do not see the tab in the admin panel. When i installed UP, the CP tab did not show anymore.

[perplexed]

did ultimate profile install with no 'test fails'?

[MissyNL]

nope

[perplexed]

so you had to edit files?  Maybe you could check your files and make sure you did the correct edits.  I think maybe especially modsettings.php

Thanks.  I tried to install the lastest version to see what would happen, and now I have this:

1. Custom Profile Field Mod 3.15   [ List Files ] [ Delete ] 
2. Increase/Decrease Postbox Size 1.0   [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ] 
3. Custom Profile Field Mod 3.17   [ Upgrade ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ] 
4. View Only Boards 1.2   [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ] 
5. Users Online Today Mod 1.4.0b3   [ Uninstall ] [ List Files ] [ Delete ] 

If I try to click on [upgrade] it tells me the file is corrupt.

No. i havn't. Well.. later i have, but when i installed it, i did not. If worked fine before, but the momenent i installed UP, the CP tab was gone. I thought that UP had overwritten it and that they could not be ussed together..

Ummm....   You need to back the mod out of your system.   If it won't back out automatically, then you need to do so manually...

Hi all,

you could try using the package parser to track down what code this mod added to your files and remove it manually.  Then if you want, install the latest version 3.17

I used the package parser and replaced the listed files with fresh-out-of-the-box 1.1.4 files (and deleted the two extra files as required) bu I still have exactly the same as listed in my last post.

Any other ideas please?

[Kindred]

you replaced the source files, but you did not change the installed file in the packages directory. It still thinks that you have 3.15 installed.

you replaced the source files, but you did not change the installed file in the packages directory. It still thinks that you have 3.15 installed.

How do I do that please.

[Kindred]

try deleting the 3.15 version of the mod form the package manager interface.

try deleting the 3.15 version of the mod form the package manager interface.

Thanks.  I did that, and got rid of both of them.  However, if I then try to upload customprofile3-17, I get these error messages:

right....   so, now you will have to edit the "installed" file in your packages directory...

[Jumbobeef]

right....   so, now you will have to edit the "installed" file in your packages directory...

Should I just replace it with a fresh one from my 1.1.4 download?

[Kindred]

only if you want ALL your mods to not be listed any more.

[Jumbobeef]

OK, thanks.  No, I'd like to keep the other mods.  How do I remove just this one please?

Thanks.

it's just a text file.
