what is the FIELD variable for a user?
 

Hi,

I need to know the variable to call a profile FIELD of a user e.g. Location or Interest

is it e.g. $userid[field3]?

Look in your postbit/legacy_postbit template for that code.

Do a search in future this is asked some many times here. Anyway:

In Templates: $bbuserinfo[fieldX]

In PHP: $vbulletin->userinfo['fieldX']

X being the fieldid number.

I did some search but I was actually looking for this:

I have vBlog installed and I want to get a field of a member who is the owner of a Blog.

I know that $blog[userid] gives me the User ID number but how can I get from there to a Specific Field number of the Blog Owner?

You have to post in the thread from which you downloaded the modification, for the best advice. You can try $blog[fieldX] but it might not work depending on vBlog. (vBlog might fetch the field or it might not, if it doesn't you will need to ask in that thread on how you can do fetch the field you need.)

Actually, I do not have any modification, I try to program something by myself, but I need to know how to call this field variable...

In the postbit, you would use:

$post[fieldxx]

(xx being the fieldid number.)

$post[field1];

or

$blog[field1];

doesnt work :((((

Any other ideas???

Location is $post[field2] and where exactly are you using this?

I want to use it in my Blog. If somebody is watching the blog of a member, I want to get e.g. field2 of the members profile which blog is currently viewed by somebody.

(The field entry of the blogger and not of the viewer)

I don't know what they use in the blog for the $post variable. What other variables are they using in there? That might help.

Actually, I dont know...so far I was only able to call the User ID of the Blog $blog[userid], but I am not sure if I can call a field variable with this User ID...at least I dont know how I should program it :confused:

Have you tried $blog[field2] oir $bloginfo[field2] for the location?

not working...doesnt show any values... :(

Have you tried $userinfo[fieldX]

no didnt work as well.

Also asked this question in vbulletin.com but no answer. Do they not have any documentation or any support for this blog and which variables to use to call fields of a blogger?

Where do you want to put this variable? (i.e. which Page/File/Template)

it worked with $userinfo[fieldX] !!!
