Profile Field in Postbit - Displaying as #

[youradhere4222]

Hello -

I included code in my postbit template to display a profile field in the postbit.

<div class="smallfont">
<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]: $post[posts]
</div>
<if condition="$post[field7]"><div class="smallfont">Affiliation: $post[field7]</div></if>
$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts]
<if condition="$show['infraction']"><div>$vbphrase[infractions]: The bold, blue text is the text I added in. I'm also using the postbit that vbulletin.com is using, so I'm editing the postbit template, not the postbit_legacy template.

It is listed as field7, so I'm guessing I have the field right. It's a multiple-selection menu with 24 options, and a maximum of one can be selected. It's not private, it's not searchable but it does display on the Member's list.

The problem I'm experiencing is that the text Affiliation: shows up fine, but the text displayed isn't what I want. I'm looking for words - as those are the selections, but instead I'm getting numbers.

At first I selected the second option, and it displayed as a 2. Then I selected the last option, and it's displaying as 8388608.

Does anyone know what the problem could be?

What are the options here? I recently post on my blog. A modification for vBulletin Country Flags (http://www.k4z.org/blog/vbulletin-country-flags-modification/#comment-7) and you can see in my install how I have done it.

<!-- K4Z.ORG Country Flags Start -->
<if condition="$post['field5']">
Country: <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/flags/$post[field5].gif" alt="Users Flag!" border="" />
</if>
<!--// K4Z.ORG Country Flags End -->

Title: Country Flag
Description:Add a country flag to your profile
Profile Field Category: (Uncategorized)
Options: Open the list.txt and copy and paste the whole file in here
Set Default: None
Display Order: 5 (Or whatever else is there)
Field Required: Yes, at registration and profile updating
Field Editable by User: Yes
Private Field: No
Field Searchable: No
Show on Members List: Yes
Allow user to input their own value for this option: No
Max length of allowed user input: SKIP
Field Length: SKIP
Regular Expression: SKIP
Display Page: Edit Your Details

I hope this helps. You can also try reading about the operator bits which are generated in multi choice with number options, check it out here..

Doesn't limiting it to one select, defeat the purpose of a multiple selection option?

Ah - thank you. :)

That's way to difficult to understand; I guess I'll allow users to input their own choices.

You do not need to follow the binary operators. Mine works the same way and does not follow the operator erand..
