Break in custom profile field?
 

I created a custom textfield and it doesn't break.

Here is my custom field, $userinfo[field3]. Is there anyway to add nl2br to it?

You need to run profile fields through a vBulletin function that handles this: fetch_profilefield_display().

Ah ok. Sorry (still learning PHP), but I have to ask; how will I proceed in doing this?

AdminCP > User Profile Fields > User Profile Field Manager > (The profile field you are interested in) > Edit > Profile Field Type > Multiple-Line Text Box

vBulletin automatically converts linebreak to <br/> when the profile field value is displayed in profile pages (About Me).

I do have Multiple-Line Text Box but vBulletin automatically doesn't convert the linebreak.

You need to run the function yourself (via a plugin), vBulletin only runs it in certain pages.

I tried adding to member_build_blocks_start and getting this error

Err you forgot half of your colon .... your semicolon!

You might as well paint your semicolon key on your keyboard with bright yellow before doing any coding in C, C++, Java, Javascript, PHP etc .. ;);););););)

Whoops forgot about that :o.
Now getting a different error:

The error means that fetch_profilefield_display() is expecting some arguments yet you didn't supply any.

Refer to vB API for the function at http://members.vbulletin.com/api/vBu...efield_display that states that the function fetch_profilefield_display() expects two arguments.
