profile blocks / statistics (3.8.1)

[ccole513]

Could someone tell me how I can add a few custom profile fields to the mini stats block? Would I have to create a custom plugin to fetch the information for display? If so, what code should I enter?

You may create a new User Profile Field, and then add it to the memberinfo_block_ministatistics block using $userinfo[fieldx]

You may have to use $prepared[fieldx] instead of $userinfo.

I actually tried it and in this particular template (and maybe others), you need to use $userinfo[fieldx]. However, it could be in other profile templates, you need to use $prepared[fieldx] as you suggested.

Lol, that was much easier than I anticipated. As always, thanks Lynne... and thanks for the input Hanson.
