How can I access a custom profile field in forumdisplay.php?
 

Is this even possible? Basically I made an IF statement saying
also tried it with single quotes around 'field5' but in neither case does the if statement ever become true even when I know Field5 is a Yes/No option box and set to "Yes" exactly.

Is there someway of accessing the custom field from the php file?:confused:

Any help is much appreciated.

Also tried $bbuserinfo but no go either.

OK got it working 2 ways...

$vbulletin->userinfo[field5]
and
$vbulletin->userinfo['field5']

My question is now- which is the 'proper' way to code it for maximum compatibility- is there a difference?

i tried to show custom fields in forumdisplay template but i couldn't :(

when i tried: $vbulletin->userinfo[field5] there was seemed "Array[field5]"

how can i use custom fields in forumdisplay template?

What type of field is field 5?

If in a plugin, you use $vbulletin->userinfo[fieldx] to grab fieldx for the viewer.

If in a template, you use $bbuserinfo[fieldx] to grab fieldx for the viewer.

single row text field

when i use $bbuserinfo[fieldx]; it works. but only internet explorer, in firefox doesn't. have you got any suggestions?

You would have to post your exact code in order for us to figure out why it isn't working.
