External Profile Links

[AlexisMedia]

I'm looking for the best way to add a profile link below some of my users "usernames" in their posts. These are not vB profile links but rather a link to an external webpage of their profile.

Here is exactly what I want to do. I want to add this button directly below the users avatar/img in the post bit.



I would then like it linked to an external user profile using this code:

<a href="http://website.com/users-profile" target="slideshow" onclick="window.open(this.getAttribute('href'), this.getAttribute('target'), 'width=770,height=800,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes').focus(); return false;"></a>

The users aren't going to have that exact code unless I provide it for them individually.

This button and code will only be available to members of a specific usergroup.

Is there a way I can add a profile field that is visible/edible only by admin for each individual so that I can personally put this code into their profile.

Then use the postbit template and put a conditional in there so that this button option is only for a specific usergroup and to pull the info from their profile field 5?

If it's not possible for me to get access myself to their profile then I can email them the specific code I guess but would this work? If so can I get a step by step for the template and conditionals etc I need to edit?


Thanks!
