Here is the code i've got in there. Its not working and i bet one of you guys will take 1 look and it will be so obvious lol

It's "field7", not "Field7".

<vb:if condition="$post['field7']"><dt>Gender</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.field7}</dd></vb:if>

Not working

Take off the conditionals so you just have this:
Does anything show up now?

This is really a test that you are editing the correct template in the correct style, since now, even if your field id was wrong you should at least see "Gender" in the postbit.

Are you sure the poster has even set the gender in their profile?

Yea, the poster is me hehe. good question tho :p

AHHHH, i was editing

'postbit' not 'postbit_legacy'

The old ones are the best. ;)

Have been trying to use method 2 ...

This works >>>>

if ($post[field40])
{
$ImagePath = vB_Template_Runtime::fetchStyleVar('imgdir_misc'). '/critique/nocritique.png';
$template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts'] .=
'<br /><dt>Critique Level</dt><br /> <dd><img src="' . $ImagePath . '"/></dd>';
}

Yielding both Critique Level: and an image.

Adding conditional doesn't, if there is just one conditional I get Critique Level: and a broken image link; the only difference is the "& 4" - If I use with three conditionals I get 3 * Critique Level: s and 3 broken image links .... It also seems as though it is ignoring the "if" statement because it shows on every profile.>>>>

if ($post[field40])
{
if ($post[field40] & 4)
$ImagePath = vB_Template_Runtime::fetchStyleVar('imgdir_misc'). '/critique/nocritique.png';
$template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts'] .=
'<br /><dt>Critique Level</dt><br /> <dd><img src="' . $ImagePath . '"/></dd>';
}

I can hazard a guess that using three conditionals there could be a confusion over $ImagePath, but surely it should work with just the one condition ?

I'm missing something rather simple I think ?!

You need some parenthesis after your second condition (why are you using a second one anyway?).

Not too sure what you mean by "why am I using a second condition...."

I'm following your method 2 :

but for 3 conditions. But even ignoring the conditional, I can't get a true result from conditional statement for any of ; ($post[field40] & 1), ($post[field40] & 2) or ($post[field40] & 4), whilst I can from ($post[field]).

[field40] contains 3 radio buttons.

Looks like I need to keep hammering at it ....
