Custom Profile Fields

[Kaelon]

Hi, Everybody,

I'm redesigning "getinfo", the user profile template, and I wanted to reference a custom profile field directly. How would I do this? Is it just $userinfo[field2] and so on, or do I need to reference it somehow differently?

Thanks!

Regards,
Kaelon

I've been trying to accomplish this task for a while now, but I haven't been able to figure it out either. Does anybody know how to do this?

Yes, although IIRC the fields start at 5. Look at the database or the id when adding the field.

What's wrong with $userinfo[fieldx]? Should work. You can set it the custom profile id NOT to show in your Admin CP, then manually add it to your getinfo template.

The $userinfo[fieldx] thing doesn't seem to work within profiles, but it does in postbits. Either that, or I'm doing something wrong. The custom field I wanted in the profile was 7, so I added $userinfo[field7] into the getinfo template, but nothing showed up. Any Ideas?

$userinfo[fieldx] DOES work in the getinfo template. I use it all the time.

Make sure you have entered a value in that custom profile field.

In postbit, it's not $userinfo[fieldx], it should be $post[fieldx].

Okay, I must've confused the tags. Thanks for the help.

Yikes, I just tested it again and it still doesn't show up. I'm using $userinfo[fieldx] in getinfo, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?
