view only user profile field

[tasman]

I need a field in user profiles that to the user is view only.

in Edit User Profile Fields there is the option: Field Editable by the user? yes/no - but If no, user can not see the field.

I want the user to see it, but not be able to edit it. Entry into the field will be performed by site admin.

TIA

what you do is make the option for "Field Editable by the user?" to no then in the postbit, add $post[fieldid#] (where the pund (#) sign is, replace it with the field id)

hopes this works for you

thanks for the speedy reply...

I've been searching and searching for the postbit - I see templates with that name but not one for user profile. Can you tell me which one I need to change.

thanks again

No no...

The posbit template is the template that shapes and constructs a post...

Erm...Not quite sure what you would do...

oh, you want the getinfo template then

then make a custom feild and choose

editable? no
required? no
viewable? yes

[tasman]

Each of the following is a Yes/No

Field required?
- Require field to be filled during registration.
- Does not apply if you select Yes to Hidden below

Field hidden on Profile?
- Field only viewable by admins and mods
- User will still be able to change it

Field Editable by the user?
- If no, field is only viewable by admins and mods
- If no, user cannot edit or view this field

There does not see to be any combination that will display a view only field in the user profiles.
