Using ALT characters in profile fields?
 
In vB4.2.2, how can I set one of the particular profile fields to accept ALT characters? Currently, when a user enters an ALT character, it defaults to the numerical reference to the character.

In other words, what should be showing as ★ is showing as "&9733" in the profile field upon clicking "save".

Thanks,
CheckM8

Is this a default field or custom. Some screenshots would help explain

Checkmate MK8 03-07-2014 01:45 AM
It is the Clan Tag profile field which is custom.

Without more info we can't help.
The code being used
A place where you got the code from ie plugin, template change etc etc.

I added the Clan Tag profile via this mod.

@ForceHSS is right, you need to make it a bit easier for us to help you. Always error on the side of too much information. If you want us to spend 10-20 minutes helping you, then you need to spend more then 30 seconds typing out a one-liner. Anyway, I think you get the point. Try again and we will try to help. :)

What else can I tell you that would lead you in the right direction, LOL? All I did was add a single custom profile field per the simple instructions in the link above. It's not rocket science.

tbworld 03-07-2014 02:25 AM
It is more of a science then you understand. Custom profile fields are processed differently, depending where they are being used. Sorry, I could not be of assistance.

I did the following:


Go to AdminCP --> User Profile Fields --> Add New User Profile Field

for profile field type select Single-Line Text Box

Title= Clan Tag
Profile Field Category= (Uncategorized)
Max length of allowed user input= 4
Field Required= Yes, at registration and profile updating
Field Editable by User= Yes
Private Field= No
Field Searchable on Members List= Yes
Show on Members List= Yes

Now Go To postbit_legacy And Find:
HTML Code:
Code:
<vb:else />


{vb:raw post.musername}

right above it add: (Replace Red XX with the profile feild number)
Code:
Code:
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldXX']">
<font color="red" size="4"><B>{vb:rawphrase fieldXX}[{vb:raw post.fieldXX}]</B></font></vb:if>

I believe the HTML, is already parsed, so just use the star character (copy & past it), not the alt code.

Checkmate MK8 03-07-2014 02:42 AM
I tried that and it looks correct until you save it and then it reverts to the numerical code.

ozzy47 03-07-2014 02:46 AM
Try it while viewing your profile in the About Me tab, there should be a pencil icon next to the filed to edit it.

ForceHSS 03-07-2014 02:49 AM
And did you change (Replace Red XX with the profile field number) in the code.

Checkmate MK8 03-07-2014 02:49 AM
I tried that also.

I copy/pasted this - ★

When I clicked Update, it turned to this - &#9733

Yes, the clan tag shows up fine on the forum, members just can't use ALT characters.

ozzy47 03-07-2014 02:50 AM
Strange, doing it that way it works on the vBulletin default profile fields.

ForceHSS 03-07-2014 02:53 AM
Pm me will have a look at it for you

Does this happen if you try to apply the same in all browsers?

Also what font sets is your forum set to use?
