Hi,

We used to do something like this in vb3.x
<hookname>profile_complete</hookname>

$tempcustom = '<p> Add extra line...</p>';
$tempcustom2 = '<p> Add second extra line...</p>';
$customfields['other'] .= $tempcustom;
$customfields['other'] .= $tempcustom2 ;

But this is not working any more in VB4.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Lynne

It would work if you then preregister the array $customfields for use in the template you are going to use them in.

Cellarius wrote a really good article that you may be interested in - [vB4] Rendering templates and registering variables - a short guide (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228078)

Thank you Lynne for you reply

Can you please explain more?

In cellarius article he is talking about forumhome that we add our template to it I have no problem with that.

What i want to do is to add more options to user options and not in my template so the customfields array should be there in profile_copmlete or profile_start hook am realy :confused:

cellarius is just giving examples in his tutorial. If you need to use variable $my_variable in template USERCP_SHELL, then you would write:
vB_Template::preRegister('USERCP_SHELL', array('my_variable' => $my_variable));
