Thanks to EagleNick it is figured out, but I have another question.

Why cant you use the entire path of the LinkedIn Account instead of requiring the user to create a custom linkin public name? Is there a technical reason for not allowing the full path?

The reason I set it up that way was because it was the only way that the linkedin account would allow a direct link to a person's account. They have it set up where you HAVE to set the account up in that way or else it does not work. :(

Because the post variable is only available in posts. Instead of using $post['field15'], you need to use $userinfo['field15']. ;)

Thanks Nick :D

After a day, I found that the instructions(mine, not yours) confused my users. So I changed your code a little to allow a complete URL in the profile and then added better directions.

Code:



<a href="$post[field16]" target="_blank">

<img alt="LinkedIn" border="0" src="/forum/images/misc/linkedin.gif" border="0"/>

This seems to work fine and doesnt require the user to setup the custom profile name.

Some members have used the LinkedIn profile to insert spammy links to other sites. Is there a way to ensure that members can add links to only a LinkedIn profile in that field?

No I'm afraid not. There maybe a way but its beyond my scope of coding. If its possible it would have to be a php fix or a plugin.
