Help with Custom Profile Fields

[jammer2552]

Hi, I'm trying to implement the Display Name option in our clan's forum.

I have read another discussion on how to do this, but it was for a prior version of vB and wasn't too clear.

I found the Phrase Manager... and beyond that I'm lost.

I would like to know how to add a field into the modify profile page, save it individually for each user, and have it replace the username when displayed on threads and their profile page.

Thank you for those who help. :)

Thank you, you pointed me in the right direction. :)

But now I've encountered another problem. :rolleyes:

This is tricky to explain... at the bottom of the page is the "Currently Active Users" section. It currently displays usernames, which I don't want, I want the Display Name ($bbuserinfo[field5]). Now, the forumhome_loggedinuser template has the code for that section, and vB uses the $loggedin[musername] variable. I'm wondering how to make the $loggedin[musername] return Display Names, not usernames.
I'm guessing I'm going to have to go in and edit the function itself.

Where would I find that function?
