Creating a Custom Profile Fields UCP Module (need help)

[MichaelTunnell]

Ok I've posted earlier about something like this but I didnt give a lot of details and still the person who helped me solved my question but now unfortunately I've reached a wall in getting this to work. The module works essentially but it has side effects that basically make it unusable.

Here is what I am trying to do.

1. Custom UCP Module that lets me show only specific Custom Profile Fields for editing.
2. I am planning to make MANY custom profile fields...in the range of about 30-40 so having them in one place on the "edit profile info" like it is by default is not going to work as it would be too chaotic. So basically I just trying to organize them all.

So far I have built the module and it essentially works fine showing only the specific field I want to show. However, when I submit the data on the new module it for some reason tries to send data for all the other fields which of course all of that data is empty because the fields aren't displayed.

Is there a way to do what I want with only sending data for the fields that I have selected to show in the module?

Here is my code:

Like I said, my code looks like it works by displaying the only field I want it to but it tries to send data to all of the fields.

I have NOT edited any of the core files
