User on Holiday
 

I'm wanting a user on holiday mod. Where if a member is away, they can set in their profile they are away, and it shows somewhere, signature? By avatar? And when they post again it takes them off holiday.

Bump

Create your userprofile field and put this code in your postbit where you want it replaceing the 'xx' with the field ID.

Sorry to be simple but i'm new at all of this. Would i do it as a radio button or check box or what?

And where in the postbit do i put it?

Dosen't matter what it is
And it depends where you want it to show in your postbit
If you copy paste your template here, it would be easier to say where -.-

Find:Below that add:

Will this show ALL the time, or JUST if the user says 'yes', coz i only want it to show if the member IS on holiday.

Only if the user is on holiday, thats what the <if condition="$post['fieldxx']"> means at the begining, if that wernt there then it would show all the time :)
if condition user is on holiday, does that make sense?
