Puttin a registration field in the postbit legacy

[imk]

ive create a new field on registration

[rogersnm]

In the postbit(_legacy) template, add: $post[fieldX] - replace X with the field number...

hmmm this didnt work?

im new to this so could you break it down a lil more please....surely that isnt all the html i need?

[rogersnm]

that's all you need and that's as simple as it gets, are you sure the user who posted the post you were looking at filled out the field?

[imk]

so i littrelly put $post[field5] in the posbit template anywhere...nothing else?

What about checkboxes?

[rogersnm]

Then you need to put a lump of conditionals in your template or make a plugin with the conditionals in (what I would go for) and then stick some text in the plugin... Checkboxes are complicated;
if C1 is ticked: var = 1
if C2 is ticked: var = 2
if C3 is ticked: var = 4
if C4 is ticked: var = 8
if C1 and C3 are ticked: var = 5

which is why you need a lot of conditionals...

you guys are forgetting you need to create a new vb phrase so that a title appears next to the field

this is what mine looks like

<if condition="$post['field#']"><div>$vbphrase[phrase_name_here]: $post[field#]</div></if>
