Accessing a user's custom profile field on the threadbit

[fiveeight]

Hi,

I added a custom profile field called "Show tags in Gaming forum" to my site and put it in the User CP.

What I want to do with it is, if it's set to "Yes," I want tags to display on the threadbit in the Gaming forum.

If it's set to "No," I don't want them to.

I know how to show the tags--the problem is, accessing that custom profile field in the threadbit.

Does anyone know how I can do this?

You can access the profile field using $bbuserinfo[fieldX]. You can find the field ID in the Admin CP in the Custom Profile Fields manager.

$bbuserinfo only gets the user who is currently logged on.

How can I show profile field, e.g. location of the user who started the thread, at the forum display thread list page?

Thanks,
