Hi everyone!

Thanks for reading this thread and I hope you found it helpful. I'm currently putting together an ebook to help people get started with customizing vbulletin with their own pages and products/plugins. Step by step instructions (with screenshots) on how to create your very first custom product (introduction to custom php files, plugins, hooks, style templates, integrating user information, etc), as well as tips, tricks, and code snippets that you can use to get some commonly asked things done... and all in simple to understand english ;)

If interested, shoot me a private message.

Customizing vBulletin can be fun! Let us show you how :)

Update:In the meantime, be sure to check out vb.org's articles section, and the vBulletin Manual.

You have $vbulletin->userinfo['username']. Where is $bbuserinfo['field6'] via the function call?

This is good stuff. I do have a question that isn't covered.

Say I have a multiple choice custom user profile field that is stored bitwise in the database.

Example:

Choice 1 = 1
Choice 2 = 2
Choice 3 = 4
Choice 4 = 8
Choice 5 = 16

So if a user selected choices 4 and 5, the stored value would be 24.

How could I evaluate this easily with an If/Then statement so that I could display the appropriate icons under the username in the postbit based upon each choice.

For example, the for the user above it would need to display two icons that correspond to choices 4 and 5.

If an user had selected ALL fields, the value would be 31, and it would need to display 5 icons.

I've done plenty of the <if condition="is_member_of($post, X)"> logic when it comes to usergroup membership, but this bitwise storage is confusing.

Can anyone show me a quick sample that would help clear this up for me?

Edit: I figured it out. Here's the answer for anyone looking for it:

Code:

<if condition="$post[field11] & 2">

<div><img src="images/badge2.gif"></div>

</if>

<if condition="$post[field11] & 4">

<div><img src="images/badge3.gif"></div>

</if>

this thread helps so much
what about that ebook?
