Adding name to avatar box.

[Pop's Stang]

Could someone give me a hand. I would like to add the users real name under the post count in the users avatar box. Could someone tell me where I can do this?

you would first need to make a custom profile field, then you would insert the proper code in postbit_legacy in the same format as your userinfo bit.

--------------- Added [DATE]1360633127[/DATE] at [TIME]1360633127[/TIME] ---------------

once you make the custom profile field, make note of the id (example field7)

Create a new plugin

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: postbit_display_complete
Title: Add Real Name to postbit userinfo
Code:

$template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts'] .= '<dt>Real Name</dt> <dd>' .$post[field7]. '</dd>';

Plugin is Active: Yes

Then Save. Done.

Be sure to change the '7' in field7 to your profile field id for 'Real Name'

lol if you say so, "field7" gave it away, why didnt you just link him to the MOD !

well, if you cared to try, the next available field after the defaults is 7. i did it on my test board so that is why 7 was in my code. I just now downloaded his mod and reviewed the code. I was unaware of his mod. I write most anything I need.
