This is an awesome hack. I was wondering if, using its custom area, I could somehow make it display all threads the user posted in certain boards. Help would be greatly appreciated.

[Milez]

Hmm...I see the stuff on the 'custom' setting but I still cannot see how to do what I want. I have something like this in Postbit:

Favorites: horse, car, barn

All I want to do is make 'Favorites' bold. Could the author provide an example for what looks like a marvelous hack

[dealcafe]

This is what I was looking for and works great is there a way that the custom fields can be a url thats clickable in the post_bit? I have been trying to figure this out for a couple of days and I know I am close. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

so it would be like this in the post_bit:

michelle
wishlist (and have that be a link to there list? )

Figured it out
I used the custom field and then :
<if condition="$post['field11']"><div><a href='$post[field11]'></> Wishlist </div></a></if>

[Milad]

<if condition="$post['field11']"><div><a href="$post[field11]">Wishlist</a></div></if>

Hey guys, everything I try does not work, the fields don't show up.

Is there anything I should be editing beforehand (see attached screenshots).

Thanks!!

Exactly what i've been looking for Thanks Milad. Installed

Nice script, very useful indeed.

However when I try and use the custom field I keep getting the following error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/fpscentr/public_html/xxxxx/includes/class_postbit.php(294) : eval()'d code(139) : eval()'d code on line 2

Attached is the admn area.

Use this in the Custom Content:

<div class="smallfont">Clan Tag: $post[field5]</div>

Instead of:

<div class="smallfont">Clan Tag: $post['field5']</div>
