How to display a value from the custom fields?

[mahiraminc]

I added a custom field to my forum. Its is called field7 and is a option button for Male or Female. I am able to display this on the postbit template simply by typing "Gender: $post[field7]" in the postbit template.

I tried posting the same thing in the Who's Online page and it doesn't work. Anybody good at PHP can tell me what code I need to write to display field7's value on the Who's Online page?

Thanks!

the WOL doesn't have the $post array, for that you're best off trying $bbuserinfo[field7] or something similar :)

Should be $userinfo[field7] - if custom fields are being loaded there (not sure)

$bbuserinfo displays my gender on everybody's column... so that won't work.

My first guess was $userinfo but it doesn't work. Yes, you are right... the custom fields are not loaded on that page. Does anyboyd know how to get this working?

Help is very much appreciated.
