Say i have a row in the user table called experience. How do i automatically show the number in their field next to their name on every post? like where their post count is?

You COULD add it underneath their post count by editing the postbit or postbit_legacy template and adding it underneath this code
<div>
$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
</div>

<div>
$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
</div>
<div>
Experience: $post[field70]
</div>


and its not showing anything

Do you have a "profilefield 70"? As in, AdminCP > User Profile Fields > User Profile Field Manager, and you have field70 there?

oh, ok now how do i make this number be affected by my experience row in the user table of the database?

or is there a better way to automatically change this number?

EDIT: i think i figured it out.... is it under the userfield table and then fieldX?

correct me if im wrong

What is the name of the field you added to your user table? You may be able to call it as $post[yourfield]
