Extra info under user name from User Profile Field

[Sal Collaziano]

Hi all. I was wondering if someone could help me find the hack/mod that allows vB to pull info from one of the User Profile Fields. For example, I'd like to ask the question, "What is your favorite rock band" and have it appear as below:

Registered: Apr 2002
Location: Huntington Beach, Ca
Favorite Band: Metallica

Thank you...

Hack is not needed. Just insert code $post[fieldX] into Postbit template after Location or other... (X is number of your User Profile Field - show link "edit" of neccessary field for info)

Look - in Postbit template code Location is Location: $post[field2]...

I can not find this code. Where is the postbit template code located?

Thanks!

everyone will hate me for resurrecting this old thread but is there a way to add a field to the profile but ONLY in a certain section of the forum? meaning if you have X section and Y section..is there a way for the extra profile field to only show when they access the X section of the forum?

Only by hacking or using conditionals in templates (a feature built into vB3, and a hack exists for vB2).

cool..is the hack for vB2 available in the search here..because i'll search for it. :)

Search for the dynamic templates by Logician :)

I can't get this. I'm using 3.0 gamma1 and am in postbit template. I try adding: 'Operating System: $post[field5]<br>' where I want it, but it will not show. Any ideas?
