Show Profile Fields In Postbit, Zero Query & Template Edit!
 

Introduction & Description:
This product allows you to choose which profile fields you want to show in the postbit / postbit_legacy, and adds them automatically without any query or any template edit.

Features:

• Zero Query!
• Zero Template Edit!
• Set it once, and forget it.
• Choose which profile fields to show by entering their names (ex: field1) in the option (Profile Fields To Show In Postbit).
• Set the display order in the option (Profile Fields To Show In Postbit).
• Choose to show titles for profile fields or not.
  • If not, profile fields' values will be separated by dash - and shown in one line Attachment 78860.
  • Otherwise every profile field will be shown in its own line (in the format title: value) Attachment 78861.
• Choose to show the profile fields in one of current three supported locations:
  • Under the user name, user title and user rank Attachment 78860.
  • Right Under the number of user posts Attachment 78861.
  • Under the infractions and reputation.

How comes you don't use any query or any template edit even?
When you set your options, a template will be modified to suit your new options, and will be cached, eval()ed and used to show the profile fields.

Installation & Upgrade: 3.7.0 at least is required.

• Import the product file product-profile_fields_in_postbit.xml and you're done.
• Choose yes to overwrite for upgrading.
• Now modify the settings in (Thread Display Options (showthread)) according to your needs.
• When you upgrade, make sure you hit the save button in the Thread Display Options (showthread) page.

Settings:
See the screen shot Attachment 78859, settings explain themselves.

You like it? nominate it.

you may want to upload a product to go with this?

I'm still writing the thread!

lol, thx in advance... :D

Is there a way to show the text from the Multiple-Selection Checkbox? As it is now it only shows the number of the checkbox marked. The only text that it does show now is from the Single-Line Text Box.

Thank You Nice hack!

Done and released, cheer up!

thank you very much

Salamaleikum buddy thanks a lot for that it's great :D:up:

Very nice thankyou :)

Thank

Turkish files

this is very nice. its not the sort of thing for me, because i apply stuff like myspace id and facebook as images that link to a members profile, however this mod still will have its uses for me

:up: really good thanks again.

This is a simple, but kick ass mod! Thanks so much for creating this...I am nominating it for MOM! :)

So does this mean almost no stress on the server? Also, if it is creating a fake template on the fly, will this be a problem with say, over 3000 users at once?

Selam?naleyk?m ve İyi akşamlar!. You're welcome.

I'm going to check against that.

My forum has about 50-80 users at once. and everything is OK.

Anyway, after releasing it. I thought it would be better If I use a real template which will be updated once on changing the settings. This is the next version.

Try it and tell me if it has any impact on your forum's performance. If it affects the performance I don't think it would be so much.

Best regards

It's not simple, but it's clever. Thank for nomination!

Would it be possible to have another section, so that you can add extra info.
Like the red text in the pic below

OK, i'm back after new tests ... it runs corectly ... superb mod!!!!

INSTALLED AND NOMINATED!!!!

edit: Milad can you provide a new feature for the ibproarcade? it wants this

Another masterpiece Milad! You are very kind with your releases here. This pulls off a headache of a job with little effort for the admin, and for that I am greatful!

When I have enough money saved for vB custom work, there is one name on my list!


I hope I got that right.

Thank You

My site is a bodybuilding/fitness site and this is EXACTLY what I needed. It allows me to have users add their height and weight right where I wanted it. Thanks and marked as installed.

Also I installed it on a a 3.7.0 gold version and it works perfectly so far.

Mine does not work, do I have to run the maintenance to get them updated? I wonder if its the skin I'm using.

My field6 is Bike that I want to show their bikes in their postbit under their names.

Note: I should type exactly field6 in the box correct?

Note: It only works when I put the option for the field to be under the post count and it does not show up inside the table in the profile. Pic enclosed.

You use custom style, it's most likely to be the reason!

I agree this would be a great addition.

It doesn't work in postbit legacy.

revert your template.

Is it possible to add the option of displaying the custom fields in a floating div?

I use this "My PC" custom fields and it's too much information to show explicitly

I don't want to revert it

It depends on template hooks to show fields, without those hooks, my hack won't work.

Sorry!

This is very special usage, and it's not popular. It won't be added to the hack!

If you want, ask me to do it for you as a custom work.

Regards

This can't be implemented without queries! I'm sorry.

2.0.1 released on May, 17 2008
Performance optimized: I don't create a template on the fly anymore, the template will be updated once upon saving the Thread Display Options (showthread) options.
When you upgrade from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 make sure you hit the save button in the Thread Display Options (showthread) page.

does this work in legacy?

It should, but I didn't try it!

yes, cause when you overwrite the product it delete the previous options ...

No, because it need to save the new template.

EDIT: Whoops! Sorry :P, you'd already got it there as an option, I just didn't see it.

Great work!


EDIT2: A small bug, possibly. It happens sporadically, but sometimes only the profile fields are shown, and not the profile field names.

I would like to know under what conditions does this bug appear?

Great mod. Thank you. Marked as "installed"
