Is there a way..

Is there a way to have post bit icons like a marital status icon, show up in the description in side the forum area?

I'm not talking about post icons.



That, I want when someone starts a thread, for that icon to appear automatically in the forum area without them having to do anything, is this possible?

I never came across such a mod but you might find some if you do a search or ask some coder to do it for you.. I am sure there are quite a lot around here who can do it for you for a good price.

This should be achievable with custom profile fields.

Right thats my forum, not sure you are reading it correctly, I am wanting to make that profile field appear when someone posts a thread, so members know if the OP of the thread is married or not married. KWIM?

I am just wondering, maybe if I took the postbit code for that and post it in the forum display or something area, would that work?

Maybe I am thinking of the wrong template.

This is a wild shot in the dark... but in the forumdisplay template, there is

$vbphrase[thread] / $vbphrase[thread_starter]

Perhaps a conditional after that?

[Mellymonster]

hmm that didn't work I added this

<if condition="$post[field17]"> <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/$post[field17].gif" alt="$post[field17]" /></if>

i'm pretty sure $post[] will only work in postbit templates... (maybe showthread?)

I doubt it would work in forumdisplay

[Mellymonster]

oh right lol, but showthread didn't work either.

Try adding that to the postbit template. Shot in the dark.

sorry, I wasn't suggesting to add it to the showthread template... Just trying to say that $post[] probably won't work in the forumdisplay template.

That would add it to the postbit, which I'm pretty sure she said was already done.
