Excellent thread. Thanks

Just read your variables article and it was very helpful! However, I still can't figure out how to pull into the postbit template, a poster's paid subscription information in 3.5.8.

Tried an if condition to check for $user['donator'] (hoping this would grab the check for paid subscriptions field in the user table) but that isn't working and I can't figure out where in the db the field is for the user's paid subscriptions...

Any ideas?

if i want to use these on a nonvb page all i need to do is include the global.php correct?

Sorry to resurrect a seriosuly old article, but since I found this useful in 3.7 and 3.8, it might be nice to get some updated info in here...

So...

My question is what is the proper {vb:raw} expression to put a profile field into a template?

Instead of adding 4.x info to this article.. Might want to just do a new one for 4.x and add a link to it, but I'm sure the 'powers that be' already knew that. ;)

OK, I've banged my head pretty good on this one. We have a vb 3.8.4 forum and we would like to change the recipient field on the activation e-mail from the 'username' to the members real first name, which we have stored in Profile Field 15. Does anyone know how we can achieve this?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Mike

Is there a way to display content to the user logged in and not to everyone logged in?

Such as,

License Code:
54575e4

Each license code is different thus every member should only see their license code?

I'm curious if there is a way to call these fields from a php file as well.

Really useful thanks :)
