Changing Postbits

[TreizeAtreides]

Hello, I run a forum over at http://planetside.info/forum and I have been having problems with spammers. Its a gaming community so it has a large number of users. The thing is many of them will have 'fights' over highest post count and so on. Please note that the forum was just re-created. We did have over 3,000 members.

What I would like to be able to do is remove post counts. I would also like to be able to add a few feilds to the postbit such as date registered and a user editable feild called Outfits:

I did a search but was unable to find anything to help. If anyone knows how to do this or where I could find a hack to do it I would be much abliged.

Step 1 - Removing Post Count from the postbit template

1/ Login to your Admin Cp
2/ Goto Templates > Modify > [expand list] > Postbit Templates > posbit

3/ The find:


Posts: $post[count]<br>


and remove it.

4/ Click "Save Changes" and your're done.


Step 2 - Adding new fields to the postbit template

1/ Follow the same steps as before and go into your "postbit" template.

2/ Find


$post[avatar]<p>
<smallfont>

Right after it add:

Registered: $post[joindate]<br>

3/ Click "Save Changes" and your'e done. However you shoudl already have the registered date in you posbit template by default :).

Someone wanna tell me how to add profile fields to the postbit? I tried adding some of my custom ones, I got rid of the location, but it's not coming up...

[Dean C]

hover your mouse over the link to edit it in the profile field bit of the admin cp....

right at the end of the link in the status bar you will see an id (a number)

insert

$post[fieldx] into your postbit...

x being the id of the field :) change it to the number...
