Need new field to show up in MEMBERINFO template

[fly]

I created a new field in my DB called orig_username. How can I get that info into the MEMBERINFO template?

[Andreas]

Whivh table?

[fly]

It's in the user table

[Andreas]

$userinfo['orig_username']

[fly]

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING

That didn't work, but I really want to thank you Kirby for all the hard work you put in here helping us idiots. I owe you a Christmas gift or something.

Well, if you want to use it in the Template (and not in a Template Conditional) it's
$userinfo[orig_username]

$userinfo[orig_username]
I'm not sure I follow. This is what I have in the MEMBERINFO template:

<div class="fieldset">
<div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
Original Username: <strong>$userinfo['orig_username']</strong>
</div>
</div>


And I get that error.

<div class="fieldset">
<div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
Original Username: <strong>$userinfo[orig_username]</strong>
</div>
</div>


Just like Arrays are always being used in Templates :)

Original Username: <strong>$userinfo[orig_username]</strong>

Yays. That did it!

Apparently, I can grab anything from the user table with $userinfo? :cool:

[Andreas]

Yep.

Please excuse the remedial question, but what is the difference between $userinfo[orig_username] and $userinfo['orig_username']?
