User Profile as User Titles

Is there any Mods that can take custom profile fields and replace the default User Titles?

AN example would be you create a user profile field for Occupations. Once a user registers with your forum and selects the Occupation listed, it would appear alongside his avatar in place of the default titles, Junior Member, Member etc..

I know that Admins can give them selves custom titles in their CP's, but automation of this for every registered user, would be awesome!

THanks.

Hmm ... you can just allow your normal usergroup to have custom titles (Usergroup Manager, Edit, General Permissions, Can Use Custom Title = Yes)

Thats true, but If I do that and allow say regular members to have access to add a custom title, I'm sure I will get alot of jokers out there putting in fake descriptions. I don't want to have to administrate it. If a user selects it once in their CP under their profile it would just appear in all of there posts. Thats what I want.

Hmm. Then you could do the following:

1) Create a new custom profile file (select) with all the titles you want to have, set it to required, profile
2) In profile.php FIND

PHP Code:


		
			
              else

              {

                      $customtitle = $bbuserinfo['customtitle'];

                      $customtext = $bbuserinfo['usertitle'];

              }

      }

      else

      {

               $customtitle = $bbuserinfo['customtitle'];

               $customtext = $bbuserinfo['usertitle'];

      }

REPLACE that with

PHP Code:


		
			
              else

              {

                      $customtitle = $bbuserinfo['customtitle'];

                      $customtext = $bbuserinfo['usertitle'];

              }

      }

      else

      {

               $customtitle = 2;

               preg_match("/fieldx = '(.*)'/", $userfields, $matches);

               $customtext = $matches[1];

      }

Where fieldx is the name of your new profile field. Then the users can select the title in User CP.

I think you are on to Something KirbyDE. I put in your code and it now shows the add custom title bar in the CP for a basic user. I set the fieldx to field7 which is the custom profile field that I want to use. But when I post it still displays Junior Member.

Should not the matches[1] return the value of the selected profile field?

I still don't want to give regular users the ability to create there own custom titles. Just make the selection box = the name of the custom profile.

If that makes sense.

Hmm, does work just fine on my testboard.

Which version do you use?
Did you save the profile?

Ya I saved the profile.php

I'm using VB3 RC3.

Perhaps I could PM you and you could take a look at my board or I could view your test board to make sure we on the same page with this.

Thanks!
