Adding a custom profile field in SHOWGROUPS page

[Brother Malachi]

Hello,

How can I show a custom profile field that I created on the SHOWGROUPS page?
I know that using $post[field7] in the postbit template works. Therefore, I attempted to use $user[field7], but that didn't work.

Any ideas?

Probably $userinfo[field7]

$bbuserinfo[field7]

$bbuserinfo is *you*, the viewer. That would make every field7 on the showgroups page the same and all yours.

Yup, $bbuserinfo worked exactly as you said.
$userinfo, however, didn't

Any ideas?

In the showgroups template they're using $user[field2] to pull the "location" information, however none of the other default fields work.

Therefore, I'm guessing each field must be individually cached from somewhere?

This is the WHERE part of the query to grab information for users on the showgroup.php page:

PHP Code:

    SELECT user.*,
        usergroup.usergroupid, usergroup.title,
        user.options, usertextfield.buddylist,
        " . ($show['locationfield'] ? 'userfield.field2,' : '') . "
        IF(user.displaygroupid = 0, user.usergroupid, user.displaygroupid) AS displaygroupid 


As you can see, all the usertextfields are not grabbed, only the location field if needed. So, if you want other usertextfields, you will have to actually edit that code (you can't use a plugin there) to grab it.
