Making url with info from profile field

[Freezerator]

Hi Guys,

I have setup a profile field where a user can put a name in.
Then i try to creat a link with that info, say:

www.site.com/$bbuserinfo['field11']/

and then i would create a link with the info out of field11. But whatever i try, i can't seem to get it to work. Can someone give me some pointers to resolve this?

What page do you want to show this on ?

I've been trying to do this same thing.

I'd want to to show up in the postbit and the profile page.

In postbit you use: $post[]. I'm not sure about the profile page (for custom fields). I think it's either $userinfo[] or $profilefield[].

[Brent H]

So I'd use http://$post[11].site.com ?

[Gray Matter]

So I'd use http://$post[11].site.com ?

No, you'd need to use:

http://$post[field11].site.com

And if you wanted this to work on the member info page, you would use:

http://$userinfo[field11].site.com

[Freezerator]

And in postbit $postbit[field11]

Ill give it a try :)

<a href="http://$post[field11].site.com">Sitename</a>

works :)

Thanks!

This doesn't work. I get this error:

vBulletin Message
The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting ']' in /home/forum/public_html/forum/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3596) : eval()'d code on line 54

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

Parse error:...expecting ']'

You missed an ] after $post[field11

Should be $post[field11]

It works now, so i share my final code to show something in the postbit, only when the field is filled in:

<if condition="!empty($post[field11])"><div><a href="http://www.site.com/profiles/$post[field11]/" TARGET="_blank">Your link text</a></div></if>


Maybe someone has also a use for this in the future :)

Firstly $post['field11'] should be $post[field11] in templates.
Secondly, !empty($post[field11]) is more efficient than $post[field11] != ''.

Thanks, i have corrected my code :)
