I am wanting to post the custom field5 in the threadbit template. I tired $post[field5] but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

Thanks,

How would you use a custom field in the threadbit template?

How would you use a custom field in the threadbit template?

On my vb site the members all use real names. Which I keep there privacy using an conditional statement to hide the members name. I want to use another conditional statement and use <else /> $post[field5]. Custom field 5 is a nickname option at registration. Is there a way to globalize $post[field5] to show on the threadbit template?

Thanks,

Custom fields aren't queried for in the threadbit template, so you'll need to use a plugin to hook them in. Give the following a try...

Add a new plugin using hook location "forumdisplay_query" with the following contents:
$hook_query_fields .= ' , userfield.* ';
$hook_query_joins = "LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield AS userfield ON(userfield.userid = post.userid)";Add a new plugin using hook location "threadbit_display" with the following contents:
if ($thread['fieldX'])
{
$thread['postusername'] = $thread['fieldX'];
}Just change the X above to the Profile Field's ID and the User's actual username will be switched out with the nickname, if they've specified one.

Thanks Kirk

I am getting a database error with the above plugin enabled. Any ideas?

Could I use a hook like this to allow the $show[addtolist] query to work in the postbit?

Thanks Kirk and Dismounted for getting this to work in threadbits. Can I bother you to show me how to get it to work on the forum home page now?
