How to make a custom postbit field display 0 instead of nothing?

[Gutspiller]

I created a simple field in peoples profiles that are called cookies. They are points like many other forums have. If I don't give people "cookies" personally by going into the field and giving them 1 or however many, the field is just blank.

How do I make it so that the fields default value is 0 instead of nothing? Is this possible? :nervous:

Hmmmm go into phpmyadmin and edit the filed maybe?

How do I find the field, etc. and what do I change it to?

I've helped someone do this before but i just can't remember :)

Xenon will see this sooner or later and help you out so don't worry :)

Mist if you happen to remember and if Xenon doesn't show up shortly, I would appreciate any help you can provide. :)

In your admin/functions.php file, find:


$post[joindate]=vbdate($registereddateformat,$post[joindate]);


Underneath, ADD:


if (!$post[fieldx]) {
$post[fieldx] = "0";
}


Replace x with the custom profile field ID number for the cookies variable in the 2 places in the code.
