Display User Profile Fields Info in Thread Post

[alfuzzy]

I have 6 user profile fields setup. All 6 show up in the "Edit User Profile" area for each member to fill in if they wish.

I would like at least one of these user profile fields to be displayed along with a members avatar, reputation, post count stats each time they post a reply in a thread.

This information used to be displayed...and now has somehow disappeared. I can't seem to find the Admin control panel setting to allow this user profile info to be displayed each time they post a reply to a thread.

Can someone please point me where this setting is located?

Thank You

Add this to your postbit or postbit_legacy template

<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']"><dt>XXXXXXXXX</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.fieldX}</dd></vb:if>

Get X from the custom userfield.

Cool...thanks.

Do I just add that line of code anywhere in the postbit_legacy template...at the end for example?

And this will allow me to be able to display some extra user profile info below a members avatar, reputation, and post counts stats?

Thanks again.:)

Add it after the post count in postbit_legacy template.

Or instead of modifying templates, simply create a new plugin at hook location postbit_display_complete and add the following:


if ($post['fieldX']) {
$template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts'] .= "<dt>PHRASE TO DISPLAY</dt> <dd>" . $post['fieldX'] . "</dd>";
}


Adding a plugin is better than modifying templates because every time you upgrade your forum, you will have to modify the templates once again. Plugins can be easily enabled and disabled.

I wanted to be 100% sure I described what I want to do.

Here's screenshot of the info I want to show up with each thread post a member makes:

I want both the red arrow & purple arrow item's in the screenshot above to be displayed here below the "normal" info that is displayed with each members thread post (purple arrow, 2nd screenshot below):

Hello Snakes1100. Thanks for the help. Given the info I posted with the screenshots. If I wanted both the:

- "Your Mac's Specs" (red arrow)
- And the info the user enters into the field (purple arrow)

Does the line of code you mentioned to add to the postbit_legacy template still do the trick?

Thanks

Hello iA1. Thanks for the help. Same question I asked Snakes1100. Given the info I posted with the screenshots. If I wanted both the:

- "Your Mac's Specs" (red arrow)
- And the info the user enters into the field (purple arrow)

Does the code you mentioned for creating a new plugin still do the trick?

Thanks

Yes, the plugin does exactly that. Just change the X in fieldX to whatever field number you have in user profile fields manager https://www.yourdomain.com/admincp/profilefield.php?do=modify

Thanks very much iA1 for the expanded explanation. Adding the part about the "fieldX" I missed in your earlier post.

So just to make sure I understand 100%. If I take the line of code you mentioned earlier to create a new plug-in with:


if ($post['fieldX']) {$template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts'] .= "<dt>PHRASE TO DISPLAY</dt> <dd>" . $post['fieldX'] . "</dd>";}



* I need to enter the proper user profile field where the 'fieldX' statement is located?
* What do I enter in the PHRASE TO DISPLAY part of the code? In the 1st screenshot I posted above...would this be the phrase "Your Mac's Specs"?

Thanks again.

Yes, for both the questions.

Yes, for both the questions.

Awesome! Will give this a try shortly. Haven't created a plug-in before. Will post how it goes.:)

Thanks

Hey iA1. I believe I did everything correctly...but the user profile info I would like to display is not displaying.

Here's a screenshot of the plugin I created. As you can see it is "active". Only input area I wasn't sure about was the "Execution Order". For some reason it came up with a default setting of "5"...so I didn't change it.

If that wouldn't have caused any issue's...what else might I try? Thanks

Clear cache and check again. Which vB version are you using?

If it doesn't work, then edit the template and use the code given by snakes1100. Search for postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts in postbit_legacy template and add the code just above or below that line.

vBulletin version is 4.2.3.

I cleared the cache...but info still not showing up. Do you think the 'Execution Order" has anything to do with it not working?

If all this doesn't work...are you saying I should skip doing the plug-in method...and try editing the postbit_legacy template?

Thanks

Quick update:

Big Big thanks to "snakes1100" and "iA1" for the help. I ended up modifying the postbit_legacy template...and the additional member info I wanted to display is now visible!

Thanks again!:):)
