The users of my board have been asking for the location hack. I had it installed in UBB. The location of the user (as entered in the biography) would show up along with the user name and rank.

Would someone like to give this a try.

Thanks,

Rick

If location had its own field, it would simply be a matter of inserting an include command. If you tried now, it would include the user's location, plus everything else they put in that bio box.

I still have no idea why they didn't just make Location a seperate field. They could have had Location, Occupation, and Interest fields, then added the extra box for bio. That would solve a lot of problems with importing member files, displaying locations, searching the memberlist by location, etc.

I assume John just put in the bio field and never got around to customizing it further as it is a trivial thing for him to do. Perhaps in the near future he will resolve this into further fields.
