n00b Profile question..

[BigBoi]

Ok, I'm very new and can't seem to find a hack to add more options on the profile under the avatar in my forum. So far I can only get Registered, Location & Posts to show. Can anyone help? thanks

Admin Control Panel --> User Profile Fields --> Add:

Ensure "Field hidden on Profile?" is set to "no"

Now you need to do some template editing yourself. Go into your postbit template from the Admin Control Panel template editor, and find the following:

<smallfont>Registered: $post[joindate]<br>
	Location: $post[field2]<br>
	Posts: $post[posts]</smallfont></td>

You need to find the field values of those new ones you just added, you can do this simply by going to User Profile Fields --> Modify, highlight over the [edit] link over one of your new profile fields, and look in the URL at the status bar in your browser, or right click and select "properties" on the drop down menu. Find the "&profilefieldid=" part of the URL, and remember the number that tags along.

Back to the template, to simply add another profile field, somewhere in that code posted above add another line with a <br> tag spacing and use $post[fieldX] to display the value. Where "X" is a variable that represents whatever number I told you to remember of that field.

Hopefully this wasn't confusing for you, and good luck.
