There are currently no hooks to add info where you want to in Beta 10 or 11.

[ForumsMods]

A new template hook was added for next release.
For the moment, you can edit the template manually or modify the template cache.

thx for that but it still doesnt answer my question

whats the code for it

{vb:raw userinfo.field8}
{vbrawphrase customerfield.field8}

which is what i am asking, as i have looked through the code and can't find a solution for manual entry

Well the template is: conversation_userinfo

And in that template current posts are:
{vb:raw conversation['userinfo']['posts']}

Current join date is:
{vb:raw conversation['userinfo']['joindate']}

So my guess is...

{vb:raw conversation['userinfo']['field8']}

But not tested

[ForumsMods]

I tought the same, but... the fields are not included in conversation variable.

I'm half tempted to call it a bug and JIRA it... being in past VB versions everything about the user was accessible via $post... i'd expect the same out of $conversation.

[ForumsMods]

I agree, fields are part of user's information (userinfo).
Currently only user table is included, I think they forgot to join userfield table.

I hope it is not by design.

You can check up on the bug report: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-5021

There won't be a fix until the "Fix Version" on that page is listed as a released version number (Alpha 14 for example.)

On the plus side it was recently revised up in priority but no estimate when it will happen.

Also, there are no "hooks" in VB5 so there will never be a "hooks" way of doing things anymore.

There will only be template edits or file extensions.

Since they added a template hook to the conversation_userstats template this is possible in Beta 13.

In this example, the 'Location' field will be displayed.

1) Create a new template. In this example I'll use the name TestTemplate.
Product: vBulletin (or your product)
Style: Default (or your style)
Title: TestTemplate
Template:
{vb:data posterinfo, user, fetchUserinfo, {vb:raw posterid}}
{vb:raw posterinfo.field2}


2) Go to ACP->Products & Hooks->Manage Hooks and click 'Add New Hook'.
Product: vBulletin (or your product)
Hook Location: conversation_userstats
Title: Test Hook
Execution Order: 10
Template Name: TestTemplate
Hook Arguments:
posterid=conversation.userid


Click Save

Refresh a thread in your forum and you'll see the Location being displayed for each poster.

There IS a drawback with this method. A database query is added for EVERY POST in a thread. That is not good, and I would wait for the JIRA report mentioned above to be fixed.
