Ok, i have used the search but cant find anything..

Is it possible to have underneath your Name and position , a custom status message?

One that you can edit.. eg. below..

Boo.. Edit



The wording "Boo.." is the message you can see and the "Edit" is what you press to change the message

Only the user & admin can change this message..

Admin has power to turn this setting off..

Thanks in advance..

I dont know what its called otherwise i would have searched for this..

Add a custom profile field for text and name it what you want. Then follow this:

Or, there is a facebook status mod in 3.7 mods :)

Thanks Digital but the link doesnt correspond to my question, it harps on about editing a poll!!

In my version of vB 2.01 every time I try to edit poll
I received error_noquestionoption message.

this is what i was looking for, thanks

But after reading the replies it looks like people are having problem with it.

I'll wait to see if 3.7.1v comes out or is upgraded..

It appears I removed a "4" from the end of the thread URL when posting. I was trying to direct you here:

There's no need for any involved modifications for what your trying to do.

the facebook status would be great, but it doesn't work and the author doesn't respond.

It is clear to me how to add a new profile field and how to display it in postbit, etc. But how do I make it editable with AJAX?
And how do I restrict this feature to certain usergoups? All usergroups may see the status, but only specified usergroups may display their status.

My first guess is you can't make it accessible via AJAX, but I'm presuming there.

I can't quite remember the precise syntax, but it involves an "if condition in array" conditional with the User Group IDs added to the array. You should be able to find that all over this forum, and in the tutorials section of vB.com just by doing a site search via Google of that exact phrase. Use quotes.

Actually, I have been searching for that conditional for quite a while. I could really use it for all sorts of things. If you find it, then please give me a heads up.

All i can find is the conditional that blocks usergroups from viewing it, not from using it.

[Digital Jedi]

It should be something like this:

<if condition="in_array($post['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7,12,14)) AND $post[fieldXX]">

[Alfa1]

Thank you. That works very well for posts.

How would you restrict a function on MEMBERINFO ?
<if condition="in_array($post['usergroupid'], array(5,6,7))">
does not work on MEMBERINFO.

[Dismounted]

You should not use in_array() for checking usergroups - it does not take into account secondary usergroups. Instead, use the is_member_of() function.

In posts:
<if condition="is_member_of($post, 5, 6, 7)">
In user profiles:
<if condition="is_member_of($prepared, 5, 6, 7)">
