Custom Profile Fields If Else Statments

[Grendel602]

I've created a template that will display a custom profile field ($userinfo[field5]) inside of an html table inside of the postbit. Although, I only want this html table to show up in a user?s post if they've entered information in this custom profile field (Under update profile). In the postbit I have the following html (With a lil php):


<table bgcolor="{tablebordercolor}" width="80%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"><tr>
$post[gamertag]
</tr></table>


I have a template named postbit_gamertag:


<td bgcolor="#bbd89a" align="center" valign="middle"><smallfont><b>Gamertag</b></smallfont></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="$post[backcolor]" align="center" height="15"><smallfont>$post[field5]</smallfont></td>


And finally I've edited member.php with the following code (I did declare the template in the $templatesused statement but left that out for simplicity):


if ($userinfo[field5]!="") {
eval("\$userinfo[gamertag] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_gamertag")."\";");
} else {
$userinfo[field5]="";
}


My problem is, none of this works. I?m fairly new to php so cut me a little slack. I really have tried to work this out but am at a loss. If someone could help me out I would appreciate it. Plus I could learn something. :D

Thanks in advance.

your use of code is ok, but you have to edit admin/functions.php the getpostbitfunction :)

I added this code to admin/functions.php:


if ($post[field5]!="") {
eval("\$post[gamertag] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_gamertag")."\";");
} else {
$post[field5]="";
}


Now it works like a charm! I wondered where the "$post"[gamertag] came in. Thank you so much!

I appreciate all the help.

use this one:
if ($post[field5]!="") {
eval("\$post[gamertag] = \"".gettemplate("postbit_gamertag")."\";");
} else {
$post[gamertag]="";
}

and then just put $post[gamertag] into your normal postbittemplate
