What extra code do I need to add?
 

I have some custom fields set up for my site. For example, field6 is the member's real name.

If I type $post[field6] in the membersinfo template, their name appears.

With other templates I've tried this with, the name doesn't appear. It just leaves a blank space.

Is there some coding in membersinfo that I can copy into other templates? It's vital for my site that I can use the member's real name in different places.

What code do I need to add to the other files and/or templates?

Thanks,

Chris

Used in memberinfo and some other placesused if you want the logged in users info to show and not specific to where he is viewingused in postbit only

Hope this helps

I have tried all three versions in my who's online template, and none of them work for me at the moment. :(

$post[fieldX] and $userinfo[fieldX] both show nothing and $bbuserinfo[fieldX] shows the data for the member viewing the page.

Any ideas?

I checked my postbit_legacy template where I have information from my custom field displayed at. I used $post[field5] for it. So that should work. I would recommend that you do a print_r on the $post array to see what is contained, it may be a possibility that you don't have that array avialable on that page currently.

I want this to work on the who's online page. It already works on postbit.

What does that mean? What's a print_r?

anyone know?
