Custom profile fields help

[ogden2k]

What I am trying to do is add a User's PC Stats box in the members profile.

I have added the custom profile fields for each option for the PC stats, which currently shows under Additional information. How do I show specific custom profile fields in my User's PC Stats box and not in the Additional information box?

If this is vB2 then try $userinfo[fieldx] like you did in the postbit :)

Sorry, forgot to mention that this is vB3. I may release this has a hack, and give whomever helps me with this. :D

Bump?

Bump?
try $post[fieldx] to show info in a post bit

[Dean C]

Zak - he said in a users profile ;)

$userinfo[fieldx] works btw ;)

[ogden2k]

I tried $userinfo[fieldx] and the only thing that show's is a weird #, nothing else. How would I exclude these fields from being shown under Additional information?

I'm trying to do a hack where memebers put their PC specs in their profile, then when someone views it, there's a box that says:

Ogden2k's PC Specs:
Windows XP
Linux
P4 3.0 GHz
etc...

Additional Info
Location
Birthday
Do not show certain custom profile fields here (PC specs)

You did replace the x in $userinfo[fieldx] with the number correpsonding to the field you created in the custom profile field manager??

Yes... I'm not a hacker, but I do know my way around vB.. ;)

[ogden2k]

Anyone? :(

[ogden2k]

I'm hoping someone has a solution as this would be a cool hack..

Edit the condition in memberinfo_customfields to hide that field and then use $userinfo[fieldX] to display it where you want.

[ogden2k]

Ok, but what about the other box I created? It's still showing just numbers..?

If I had the field for location, it shows fine. But if I add a custom field, say, 7 it just shows 2203 or some other #..

[ogden2k]

I am willing to pay a little $ to anyone that helps me with this project. I really want this to work...

[ogden2k]

Should I post this in the requests section..?

insert this before the last </table> in the MEMBERINFO template


<!------------start the computer spec hack---------------------------->
<tr>
<td class="tcat" width="50%">$userinfo[username]'s computer specs</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">

<td class="panelsurround" align="center">
<div class="panel">
<div align="$stylevar[left]">

<div class="fieldset">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]px" border="0">
<tr>
<td><strong>The above is $userinfo[username]'s computer specs</strong></td>
</tr>
$post[fieldx]
</table>
</div>

</div>
</div>
</td>

</tr>

Just remember to replace the x after field in fieldx ;)

I was going to charge you but I know how it is to want help and it not be available.

The post field does not work though, if it's a mulitiple selection the output is just numbers, same with radios. :(
