Adding new fields

[killerford]

I've been trying to add new field's so they add to people's profiles but they aren't showing in the profile area in posts. Why?

Post all options you are using with screenshots

at the bottom under display page you've set the profile field to show on options: thread viewing. It will on be shown on the settings page, not in profile.

To show on profile you have to set it on edit profile. Then it will show on profile page and on the settings page under edit profile.

Would that make them show on the postbit?

to show it on postbit you have 2 options:


add following code in postbit or postbit legacy: <vb:if condition="$post['fieldxx']">
<dt>{vb:rawphrase location_perm}</dt>
<dd>{vb:raw post.fieldxx}</dd>
</vb:if>.
Replace xx with the field number.


use the following mod: GamerCards Block in Profile Sidebar and Postbit (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232033)

How would I add more than one field? Do I add that code over and over again or just add more of this code (<dd>{vb:raw post.fieldxx}</dd>) under the current one?

[peugeot405]

that is correct.

You add the code
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldxx']">
<dt>title</dt>
<dd>{vb:raw post.fieldxx}</dd>
</vb:if>
for every custom field, changing the title and the xx to math the custom field you add.

note: the code above is the basic code, there are more extended codes depending on what type of custom field you are using (single-line textbox, multiple-line textbox, single selection radio buttons, single-selection menu, multiple-selection menu, multiple-selection checkbox).
