Show Profile Fields In Postbit, Zero Query & Template Edit!

[Milad]

Brought to you by Syrian Medical Society (http://www.syrianmeds.net/) & Milado (http://www.milado.net/)

Introduction & Description:
This product allows you to choose which profile fields you want to show in the postbit / postbit_legacy, and adds them automatically without any query or any template edit.

Features:
Zero Query!
Zero Template Edit!
Set it once, and forget it.
Choose which profile fields to show by entering their names (ex: field1) in the option (Profile Fields To Show In Postbit).
Set the display order in the option (Profile Fields To Show In Postbit).
Choose to show titles for profile fields or not.
If not, profile fields' values will be separated by dash - and shown in one line 78860.
Otherwise every profile field will be shown in its own line (in the format title: value) 78861.
Choose to show the profile fields in one of current three supported locations:
Under the user name, user title and user rank 78860.
Right Under the number of user posts 78861.
Under the infractions and reputation.


How comes you don't use any query or any template edit even?
When you set your options, a template will be modified to suit your new options, and will be cached, eval()ed and used to show the profile fields.

Installation & Upgrade: 3.7.0 at least is required.

Import the product file product-profile_fields_in_postbit.xml and you're done.
Choose yes to overwrite for upgrading.
Now modify the settings in (Thread Display Options (showthread)) according to your needs.
When you upgrade, make sure you hit the save button in the Thread Display Options (showthread) page.


Settings:
See the screen shot 78859, settings explain themselves.

lol, thx in advance... :D

[Parabellum]

Is there a way to show the text from the Multiple-Selection Checkbox? As it is now it only shows the number of the checkbox marked. The only text that it does show now is from the Single-Line Text Box.

Thank You Nice hack!

[Milad]

Done and released, cheer up!

[Cobro]

thank you very much

[Hasann]

Salamaleikum buddy thanks a lot for that it's great :D:up:

[KatieG]

Very nice thankyou :)

[Adem GEN?]

Thank

Turkish files

[NeuroLancer]

this is very nice. its not the sort of thing for me, because i apply stuff like myspace id and facebook as images that link to a members profile, however this mod still will have its uses for me

:up: really good thanks again.

[marcossalazar]

This is a simple, but kick ass mod! Thanks so much for creating this...I am nominating it for MOM! :)

[marcossalazar]

So does this mean almost no stress on the server? Also, if it is creating a fake template on the fly, will this be a problem with say, over 3000 users at once?

[Milad]

I'm going to check against that.

[Milad]

My forum has about 50-80 users at once. and everything is OK.

Anyway, after releasing it. I thought it would be better If I use a real template which will be updated once on changing the settings. This is the next version.

Try it and tell me if it has any impact on your forum's performance. If it affects the performance I don't think it would be so much.

Best regards

It's not simple, but it's clever. Thank for nomination!

Would it be possible to have another section, so that you can add extra info.
Like the red text in the pic below

[KURTZ]

OK, i'm back after new tests ... it runs corectly ... superb mod!!!!

INSTALLED AND NOMINATED!!!!

edit: Milad can you provide a new feature for the ibproarcade? it wants this

<div class="smallfont">$post[crowns]$post[champtext]<br /></div>

[FleaBag]

Another masterpiece Milad! You are very kind with your releases here. This pulls off a headache of a job with little effort for the admin, and for that I am greatful!

When I have enough money saved for vB custom work, there is one name on my list!

شكرا جزيلاا

I hope I got that right.

[Jasem]

Thank You

[1quick1]

My site is a bodybuilding/fitness site and this is EXACTLY what I needed. It allows me to have users add their height and weight right where I wanted it. Thanks and marked as installed.

Also I installed it on a a 3.7.0 gold version and it works perfectly so far.

[threat]

Mine does not work, do I have to run the maintenance to get them updated? I wonder if its the skin I'm using.

My field6 is Bike that I want to show their bikes in their postbit under their names.

Note: I should type exactly field6 in the box correct?

Note: It only works when I put the option for the field to be under the post count and it does not show up inside the table in the profile. Pic enclosed.

[Milad]

You use custom style, it's most likely to be the reason!

[cavyspirit]

Would it be possible to have another section, so that you can add extra info.
Like the red text in the pic below
I agree this would be a great addition.

[klees]

It doesn't work in postbit legacy.

[Milad]

revert your template.

[Amenadiel]

Is it possible to add the option of displaying the custom fields in a floating div?

I use this "My PC" custom fields and it's too much information to show explicitly

http://img521.imageshack.us/my.php?image=looknc8.jpg

[klees]

I don't want to revert it

[Milad]

I don't want to revert it
It depends on template hooks to show fields, without those hooks, my hack won't work.

Sorry!

This is very special usage, and it's not popular. It won't be added to the hack!

If you want, ask me to do it for you as a custom work.

EDIT: Whoops! Sorry :P, you'd already got it there as an option, I just didn't see it.

Great work!


EDIT2: A small bug, possibly. It happens sporadically, but sometimes only the profile fields are shown, and not the profile field names.

I would like to know under what conditions does this bug appear?

[Trip]

Great mod. Thank you. Marked as "installed"

It happens directly after posting (sometimes) so it looks like this:

When it is meant to look like this:

After you refresh the page, the right details come up though.

[pericolosogr]

its after posting using quick reply, it doesnt happen you post from advanced posting page!
Cause of ajax?

[Amm0]

Ah okay, np then. Thanks! :)

Great mod again, this was the one I seriously needed :D

[Astrof]

This is a wonderful mod, but I can't get it to work. Whether I use posbit or postbit_legacy, the profile fields I input are not shown on the profile page and I always get the follwing error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ']' in /home/hrvatski/public_html/di/includes/class_postbit.php(288) : eval()'d code(2) : eval()'d code on line 1

Help would be appreciated. :)

[Milad]

I have nothing to do with the profile page!

It seems like you use a mod that interferes with the code!

Also be sure to download the current product and upgrade to it.

[Astrof]

No, I'm not using any mods or custom styles whatsoever on the forum I'm trying to install this to.

When I said profile page, I meant profile fields that are added by this mod. They don't show up in the user's profile page (or is it somewhere else where it's supposed to show up?).

[Milad]

This ad-on doesn't add any profile field, it shows the already existed profile fields in the postbit!

[DDIG]

It just does nothing at all. I am confused. Filled in a field that definately exists, checked and rechecked the admincp options, nothing.....

[Astrof]

Same here. Legacy or not, nothing ever shows up no matter what I do.

I got rid of the syntax error by uninstalling and re-downloading, it may have been a corruption in the transmission or something, don't know what happened.

But I still can't get anything to apper in postbit.

It's a real shame, a really great mod.

[Milad]

both of you: make sure you hit the save button in the Thread Display Options (showthread) page.

I did that.

Is there something else I might be doing wrong? Something with the Add field option or something?

[Milad]

Please try to replace the content of the hook: "Show Profile Fields In Postbit" at postbit_display_complete to the following:

$in_template_hook = $this->registry->options['profile_fields_place'];
eval('$template_hook["$in_template_hook"] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_profilefields') . '";');

and let me know if this solves your proplem.

Edit: don't forget to hit save button again!

[Stubbed]

When doing a quick reply, I get the field contents, but not the field name. If I refresh the page, it is fine however.

On legacy postbit.

Perfect otherwise.. :)

i've got the same trouble in the Announces ... (on the new postbit)

[Stubbed]

Amm0 and KURTZ's: Is it happening when you actually reply to a topic, or is it using quick reply? As it sounds like the same sort of issues that I'm having. You should double check, it would make the mod authors job easier ;)

[KURTZ]

@ Stubbed: i saw this only onto the Annouces, not in the normal posts ...

@ Amm0: have you put in the postbit the xfire's img with this hack?

[Milad]

Please try to replace the content of the hook: "Show Profile Fields In Postbit" at postbit_display_complete to the following:

$in_template_hook = $this->registry->options['profile_fields_place'];

All problems had been solved, but I'm still waiting for a feedback on this from Astrof before I release the new version!

[GaiLoan]

hi, i got blank, didnt show anytin, why is that happen ?

[Astrof]

Hey, Milad, sorry, couldn't reply sooner.

I tried looking for what you told me, but I simply can't find it.

Can you point me to where exactly I have to go to replace the content of the hook?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, the profile field name won't show when you quick reply, won't show in an annoucement and won't show in PM's.

Not too bad because it works mostly on the forums, just a small bug I suppose.

All those bugs had been fixed in the next version.

2.0.2 has just been released. please see the main post for more information about this release.

[peterpigman]

So if you have custom fields already added this would be not be necessary?

[Milad]

So if you have custom fields already added this would be not be necessary?
No it wouldn't be necessary. but you can revert your template and install this mod to avoid template edits in the future.

Regards

[Amm0]

Do you just overwrite the old xml and then import with overwrite enabled?

[KURTZ]

it seems to be fixed ... :up: thx Syro ...

[Astrof]

2.0.2 has just been released. please see the main post for more information about this release.

Fixed! Wonderful!

Thank you! :)

[kether1]

Hello,

Is it possible to change the text color displayed using this mod. Currently I have the titles in black and the answers in blue. This is done editing the template. I would like to install this product if it would allow me to change text color the way I have manually done with template edits.

Thanks,
K

[Milad]

Do you just overwrite the old xml and then import with overwrite enabled?
yes

[Amm0]

Would there be a possibility of making the profile field titles bold, and leaving the actual field normal?

EDIT: There is still a bug where the profile field name does not show when using quick edit

[se_p800]

For somereason I get this under every users name in postbit:

Show Profile Fields In Postbit plugin have been installed / upgraded successfully.
Make sure you hit the save button in the Thread Display Options (showthread) page to activate it.

what can I do?

[Milad]

It says to you what you have to do:

Great one , Thanks :)

[bornoffire]

I get error

[bornoffire]

Ok it only gives me that error whe I choose "Show Profile Field Title In Postbit". This is very important to have. Any suggestions?

[bornoffire]

Turned it off and then turned back on and works fine now, weird.

[v12kid]

I got it working but it wont accept my postbits css dressing. example is here so you can see:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/08/68.jpg

any idea on how to fix it?

[Milad]

Next version may include a field to apply custom CSS classes.

[nerofix]

Hi,

please do in profile_fields_place a new option called "Under user avatar". Thanks :)

Edit: Okay solved, I just moved the $template_hook[postbit_userinfo_left] in the showthread template, works fine now

[truespirit]

very very nice - just what i needed - thank you :up::up:

[JackFranklin]

Great mod (Y).

One thing, I think you should include an option to make the profile field names bold so they stand out more. In the end I had to do this manually but an option would be great.

EDIT - Just saw this - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1592834&postcount=81

You could use that to do it if you just wrapper a <span> round the profile field name.

[Reef Man]

Same error here:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting ']' in /home/reefman/public_html/cam/forums/includes/class_postbit.php(293) : eval()'d code(19) : eval()'d code on line 2

How can i solve it?

[fishmaster]

worked like a champ!

[Battle_Ring]

uplaoded the plug in and put in the fields and it didnt add them to postbit

[mmoore5553]

can i use image instead of text or is there a mod to do that ?

[rob01]

do this work for 3.8?

[Noonster]

Yes its working for me on 3.8 ;)

[BizAdventure]

This worked great, except that instead of the actual WORD choice I had in the menu it is posting the number.

Anyone have any ideas on why this would be happening?

For example, my profile gives a choice of 4, and whatever one I pick, it will put the NUMBER of the choice instead of the WORD.

[Milad]

This is not compatible with multi-choices fields right now.

It's intended to be though in the future, may be in the next version. I'm not sure.

[mrcake]

just what I was looking for. THanks!

[Milad]

Confirmed two posts above :rolleyes:

[Stubbed]

Yes its working for me on 3.8 ;)
Coolio - Just what I wanted to know :D

[bartek24m]

how can i change your chack in order to show this information in

my ver.3.8.1

template

/album.php?albumid=1&pictureid=1 page

could you explain me step by step which product i need do edit ?

[Milad]

My hack doesn't do that!

[bartek24m]

even if i modify code ?

[Milad]

may be if you use it the right way.

[jluerken]

This can't be implemented without queries! I'm sorry.

I does not matter for a few additional queries but I need this function :-)
Can you please add this function even it it adds queries?

[Milad]

See the version for 3.8, it has this function implemented already.

[BFP]

Im getting the same syntax error as previously reported by other users here.

Any ideas?

edited to add: ACK! I figured it out, apparently I need more coffee to remind myself not to put a space in between the field name and #

GREAT Mod!

[mmoore5553]

Is this going to be updated to version 4

[mfowler70]

bump for v4.1.1 support

[gamersplatoon]

Exactly what i wanted..Thank you it works on 4.1.7

[keteflips]

Dont work in 4.1.12

Exist a new version of this plugin?

[Dwarden]

there is some bug with it under 4.1.10+

seems like it's unable to read the name of the profile field
the profile field text is w/o problem

so instead e.g.
Real Name: text
it shows
: text

only
