Custom profile fields in postbit, the lazy way

[Chris M]

global $vbulletin;

$vbulletin->templatecache['postbit'] = str_replace('$post[usertitle]','$post[usertitle]<br />$post[field10]',$vbulletin->templatecache['postbit']);

I tried to use the code above using the postbit_display_complete hook to make a user's custom title (profilefield field10) show below their standard user title...

The problem is that although it works, post one has:

usertitle
custom title

However, post two, three, four etc have:

usertitle
custom title
custom title
custom title
... etc ... etc ...

Any way around this so I can get it to display only once per post? :)

Use another Hook that gets only called once.
Btw: Cool idea! This way one could even cut-down on Template edits :)

Hehe - In the end I used the showthread_start hook - Works perfectly now :)

It is a good idea, especially if you don't want to have to make lots of edits to templates for every upgrade :)

How does one change multiple lines in a template?

I've tried creating variables, arrays, inserting the whole thing in str_replace (between ' '), but nothing worked...

[Andreas]

$vbulletin->templatecache['templatename'] = str_replace(array('search1', 'search2', 'search3'), array('replace1', 'replace2', 'replace3'), $vbulletin->templatecache['templatename']);


If that is what you want ...

Do you have the plug-in made for this then so I can use it? ;)

I missed a pretty cool thread. Thanks for bumping this back into the New Posts listing.

:)

[Boofo]

You owe me! ;)

[Johannes de Le?n]

$vbulletin->templatecache['templatename'] = str_replace(array('search1', 'search2', 'search3'), array('replace1', 'replace2', 'replace3'), $vbulletin->templatecache['templatename']);


If that is what you want ...

I wanted something like:

$x = 'everything
I
want
replaced
here';

$x_1 = 'everything
I
want
to
replace
here';

$vbulletin->templatecache['templatename'] = str_replace($x, $x_1, $vbulletin->templatecache['templatename']);



But it doesn't work...

Thanks for the help, anyway. :)

[Andreas]

Erm ... that should work just fine.

Very cool - I was doing this with vB3 using a weird method but this simplifies things tremendously.

I can plugin it up and release it later on for you Bob :)

Sounds good. Later on ... meaning when? ;)

I am highly interested, as well.
