Profile Fields in Postbits

[emin3m]

Show Profile Fields in Postbits

Profile Fields in Postbits in german language (http://www.vbhacks-germany.org/showthread.php?t=6751)

Features
1. Shows Profile fields in the postbits.
2. Dosent shows if field is blank.
3. Admin can set which profile field to show and in which order.
4. Admin can set where to show under posts by user or under username NEW

Whats New
1. Queries issue fixed, now only 2 quries per page(showthread) load

Why Use it
As am running my university forums so, setting "roll no" (student-id-no) in postbit made easy to recognize ppl posting..
you can add fields like "Favourite music", "Favourite movie", "Favourite book" and add them in postbits..

Cool, thanks.

Hey, how did you get a smilie in the title postbit ... by the Super Moderator in your screen shot?

[Jesus05uk]

Very Nice - Installed on forums.gmodcentral.com

[Galadrium]

Thanks.

In the past this would have required a lot of editing and work.

-installed

[StuntFactoryX]

thanks and installed. this was 1 of the plugins that gave me errors when i upgraded to 3.6 and was using the old version. thanks for the updated 1.

[Sal Collaziano]

Cool. Thank you. :)

[redlabour]

Thx ! ;)

[pauloo]

Nice thanks !

[Milad]

I like it, but I don't like the queries.

You may optimize it.

[Eagle Creek]

This is so 100% EXACTLY what I'm looking for, for soo long!!

(does it work with postbit_legacy?)

[WeArab]

Cool thank you!

Installed!

I was searching for this add on long time ago!

Now I'm able to let the users show their mobile models, their Internet connections type!

You r0ck the VB world honestly!

The best of it, it doesn't need any modification!

Could you please optimize the queries?

[bongwater]

installed, thanks!

[Troy Roberts]

I like it, but I don't like the queries.

You may optimize it.

How many queries? Will this impact server overhead?

I really like the idea since it's a pain to do it all manually.

[emin3m]

@Milad
yea ill be optimizing it

@MustangLisa
its by adding user rank from adminpanel

@Eagle Creek
yes it works on postbit_legacy

[Bad Bunny]

How would I go about moving their position within the postbit? I can't see to find the added code...

[dirtycrow]

it's not showing up in my admin cp, even after a refresh and and a log out and log back in

*edit, nevermind ;)

works great!

[adwade]

I couldn't find it either! ha, ha I kept looking down at the bottom of the admincp, not up toward the TOP of the list!

Anyway, S-W-E-E-T modification :D sure to become one of my favorites. Kudos on a job well done emin3m!

[Shazz]

Peterska came up with a nice way too that works on any version..-(Not just the 3.6 and its just a code)

[adwade]

Peterska came up with a nice way too...
Thanxx. I looked it up, but I like this one better since it's so easy to turn different fields on/off anytime you want to.

[ukcobra]

As a new migrant to 3.6 from 3.08 I'm trying to find my way round the new features.

My Custom Profile fields have gone missing and this modification looks like it would solve it, however, how does it install ?

I can see the What it does and Why, just can't see the How you install it.

Can someone explain please or point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Mark

[ukcobra]

Thanks for the pointer, installed, modified and working in under 5 minutes. This is a great help.

[marlita]

My checkbox values are showing up as number in my postbit. Do you know how to solve this? Here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1054163&postcount=35) is a link to someone in another post who's having a similar problem. Granted, his is showing pics for another mod, but it's the same outcome for me with your mod. Thanks.

[robertwo]

There's a post here about that:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97400

[soletrader]

I cant locate it in my admin cp.. where is it?

[Farcaster]

This plugin adds a lot of queries. If I add the profile fields to the postbit manually, no queries are added, because all of the fields are already joined on each post. However, if I use this plugin, a thread with 13 posts goes from 10 queries to 140! That's quite a lot of extra load for the database for bringing up a single page with 4 extra profile fields.

Looking at the code, it looks like the problem is that you are doing a separate query for each profile field and for each post, thus the extra queries needed become exponential for the number of posts per page and the number of profile fields. Since the fields are already loaded and available, you might see if you can use them instead of querying for them separately.

Hope that helps.

Hello emin3m,

Again it's nice hack, But!

When will you fix the lot of queries issue?

[Dufachi]

Once the queries issue is fixed, I'll definitely install this.

[WeArab]

I have disabled it in my forum till queries issue is fixed, now it kills my box MySQL server.

[adwade]

This plugin adds a lot of queries. If I add the profile fields to the postbit manually, no queries are added

Farcaster, for someone who's not in the know about such things how is this done? Are there any threads that discuss/explain it. As you can guess, I'm not a coder...:confused:...but I'm very curious.

I used to hate adding new profile fields, now I love it.

The latest 3.6.3 and I'm using custom fields. I reinstalled the previous version and is working now but I need the newer version to work because of the queries fix.

[John Stone]

There seems to be a bug in the latest version. When I AJAX edit the last post in a thread and save it, the post no longer shows until I hit "refresh". After disabling the plugin the problem goes away.

[emin3m]

thanks for notifying,
its fixed but it wont show profile fields in postbits of post you edited, youll have to refresh for that

[vinnaboy]

Thanks! I installed it again and this time no more error messages but the fields don't show in the PMs.

[CoreIssue]

It just showed Updated on the forum. I will install new and see what happens.

[globalinsites]

Has anyone upgraded to vb 3.6.4 yet? I'd like to know if this hack is still working okay in 3.6.4. Thanks.

[globalinsites]

Great hack. Not sure if I can post it here, but can someone tell me how I can edit the order of the fields in postbit? I'd like to move 'Posts' to below 'Join Date'.

I renamed the Location field to City (I think in my case City makes more sense because I also have a Country field), but now both the City and Location field show up. Can I remove the Location field from postbit somehow?

[MrPHD]

Great Job, useful for many reasons.Thanks

edit your template "postbit" and remove the location part

[scootman]

Very nice little thing, Thanks very mutch ;) "Click Install"

[ChrisTech]

Is there a way to make the item in the feild into a "clickable" html link?

As in for an online game, that requires clicks to 'grow'? Trying to figure out how to add it, so it shows your game username, and its a clickable link that's the 'recruitment link' in the same feild.

[brhoom]

Thanks.

[Aeolian]

Hay man, great mod.

Have a question, in my forum i wish to make special fields available to certain usergroups only. How do i do that?

Thanks in advance..

[Aeolian]

any hint/clue :(

[Cronic82]

installed.. but how can i put some space between the fields?
i have the profile postbit on the left,..so need to balance the fields out a bit so they are not all stacked..
i'd love 1 line of space between e.g. field 1 and field 2

ps: seems to work fine on 3.6.4

This mod rocks!! I'd love to see this mod extended / enhanced to enable selected profile fields to be shown on the 'memberlist' page.

[globalinsites]

This mod rocks!! I'd love to see this mod extended / enhanced to enable selected profile fields to be shown on the 'memberlist' page.

You don't need this mod for that, it's a standard vB feature if I understand what you're asking: In Admin CP go to User Profile Fields: User Profile Field Manager -> select 'Show on Members List'

[BudLeiser]

Can this mod be made to work in conjunction with

If anyone knows how to hack this to work PM me.


GAH problem: I made a multie click checkbox and combined it with this. Instead of listing their selections like "Halo, Castevania" etc. It turned into a string of numbers

[criscokid]

You're right... it does.

When I posted that message though I was thinking of the selected profile fields being shown (like it does in the posybit) under the username, not in a new clumn for each field like it does at present.

[BudLeiser]

Great mod thanks.
How can I pull custom fields to non-postbit areas?
Most specifically I want it in threadbit after $thread[postusername]
But using $post[field#] does not work.

[Surviver]

Try $thread[fieldX]

[BudLeiser]

Try $thread[fieldX]
Was one of the first alternatives I tried. No luck.
Same with
$thread[postuerfieldx]
$thread[userfieldx]
$thread[postfieldx]

etc

[projectpilot]

This hack does not work with drop down ( multiple selection) profile fields. Or does it?

[criscokid]

This hack does not work with drop down ( multiple selection) profile fields. Or does it?
This mod displays what's in the data field. Multiple selection field data is stored as a number: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc so using it on multiple selection fields you'll probably just end up getting a string of numbers displayed unless the mod's been coded to take this into account. The easiest way to find out is to try it on one othose fields.

[Krieg]

Great job emin3m, thank you for this helpful hack.

I was wondering where was the code that adds these fields so that i can change them and replace the text string by an image that would have a path like /images/$post[field3].jpg

Maybe this is not the right place to ask, but who knows ;)

Anyway, thanks again :)

Suggestion: Make it forum specific. Certain profile fields might be more useful in some forums than others and this hack could be a good solution for that. :)

I installed this hack, it seemed to work, however on any new reply it doesnt show the field in the posbit, than if I "update" the "fields to show in postbits" it will than show, than it will not again in a new reply...

Any idea what might be causing this? I love the hack just not sure what this issue is about.

[Giray]

I have one field with quite a bit of information (over 150 characters). Any way to force a line break at some point -- basically to limit the width of the field. Otherwise, it simply runs into the other side of the page.

Installed the hack, but for some reason it removed the display of VbCredits. Despite VBCredits still being there it wont show in the postbit. When I go to the adminpanel for the hack it has a part of VBCredits mod above it and then below the options for the profile hack.

I posted in the top post of vbcredits a plugin patch which is needed until vb updates to 3.6.8. Try applying that to see if it fixes the issue.

Thanks that resolved my issue. Though i have a minor problem still with vbcredits.

When i click in the admincp --> Show Profile fields in Postbits

it also gives me part of the vbcredits menu. (see attachment)

It's not a huge issue, but if you know a fix I would gladly have it.

[Krieg]

I installed it and works very well ... but not well enough for me. I would like to have the content of the custom fields appear as an image. Therefore I managed in their description to make the content of them as the name of the image (without the .gif). Then I went in my postbit_legacy template, but could not find how it was implemented, and only found <div class="smallfont">
&nbsp;<br />
<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>
<if condition="$post['field2']"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>
<if condition="$post['age']"><div>$vbphrase[age]: $post[age]</div></if>
<div>
$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
</div>
<if condition="$show['infraction']"><div>$vbphrase[infractions]: $post[warnings]/$post[infractions] ($post[ipoints])</div></if>
<if condition="$show['reputation']"><div>
So now I am wondering how it appears ? :p so that I could have something more like <if condition="$post['field5']"><div>Classe: <img src="../images/misc/classes/$post[field5].gif" border=0></div></if>I hope someone would help me but I am at work right now and will dig deeper in that tonight ;)

[Jackal von ?RF]

I added support for translated profile field titles (my forum has both English and Finnish language packs installed). I also did some code cleanup and updated the product's version, urls etc. The updated plugin (version 2.12) is attached to this message.

(In AdminCP the custom field titles and descriptions can be translated through: User Profile Field Manager > [Edit] > [Translations])

[dknelson]

I just installed this and it is really a nice product. Like some others here though, I would very much like it to use images instead of just text. I'm thinking something like the country flag mod which I also have installed. In my case, I'm using it for members to show how many of our events they have attended. I would like to create images with a number imposed on them. Right now, I just have the numbers ... 1, 2, 3, etc. in the selection box but I would love it if those numbers would actually load an image that I have created for each number.

[teou]

Hi everybody. I am using this on vb 3.8.5 (yes i know it's old but i cannot update a production environment easily) and i found a vbulletin bug. The bug is, in private messages my custom fields are shown to everybody even if the user is from a usergroup that has no rights to view them (and is not seeing the fields i the threads).

This has nothing to do with the plugin, but since i cannot update my vbulletin right now, i found a workaround patching this plugin:

1) Go to http://forum.spectrumnet.bg/admincp/plugin.php?do=modify
2) Find Product: ShowProfileFieldInPostBits and select to edit "get fields"
3) in the beginning, replace
if(THIS_SCRIPT=='showthread' || THIS_SCRIPT=='private'){
with if(THIS_SCRIPT=='showthread'){

You will thus disable showing custom fields in private messages and they will show only in threads.
