How to display homepage in memberinfo_profilefield_category?

[pokusek]

I want to show homepage URL set by users in template memberinfo_profilefield_category (under all profile fields.) I've tried using conditions:

<vb:if condition="$show['homepage']">

<vb:if condition="$prepared['homepage']">

But one of them displayed the content even if the user of currently viewed profile has set their homepage.
Any advices?

Perhaps the $show variable isn't available for use in that template. Did you take a look at the code and see? I just took a look and the only variable registered for use in that template is $category. Did you try that?

[pokusek]

Well, I don't really know where to find such information so I just copied pieces of code from other templates in a hope that it would work but for the reason you mentioned it didn't.

Using $category as a variable also doesn't help. I also tried pasting these conditions into other MEMBERINFO templates but without any luck.

How to make it work?

If $show[homepage] is a real variable, then it could be that $show isn't registered. Try using something like $show[member] (will only show to logged in members) and see if it works and then you will know if $show works there. If it doesn't, then that means the variable isn't registered. If it does work, then that means $show[homepage] isn't defined. So, we need to know which it is.

$show[member] is works, thus $show[homepage] isn't defined. What would you suggest to do about it?

[Lynne]

You'll need to write a plugin to define it before you can use it.

I have not any experience with that, could you please tell me what code should be there or where can I find more relevant information?

[Lynne]

I would try using the hook just above the code for the template which is member_profileblock_profilefield_category and perhaps set the $show variable based on $this->profile->prepared['homepage'] which is mentioned in that page (class_profileblock.php) also.

[pokusek]

I tried using $show['homepage'] = $this->profile->prepared['homepage']; in my plugin but it didn't work ( <vb:if condition="$show['homepage']"> was not executed). I am not sure if I understood what you meant.

//This actually made some links from my navbar disappear, heh

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, are you trying to display the homepage only if a user has one entered? Maybe try this:

$show['homepage'] = !empty($this->profile->prepared['homepage']);
