user profile fields

[rgreene1971]

I have added a user profile field for all of my members to add a link to a thread in my forum which is a review of their product or ad. How can I make this link clickable instead of the members needing to copy the link and pasting it in a browser?

Thanks for any help

What is an example of what they enter into the field? And where is it (what template?) that you want it to show as clickable?

[rgreene1971]

An example of what they would enter is a link to a thread on the forum.

example: https://xxxxxxxxxxxx.com/vbforum/sho...30079-myreview

I would like it to show on all templates and be found in the users about me tab of their profile.

Well, you aren't being that specific, so I really can't be too specific either. But, you'd do something like this in the template:

<vb:if condition="$post['fieldx']"><a href="{vb:raw post.fieldx}">My Link</a> </vb:if>

(That's for in a post, the variable will be different depending on the template you put it in.)

Here is a clip section of the about me page of my profile. I have highlighted the profile field I would like to make a link

I am using the bp- light styles from bluepearl skins

You would have to manually add it to the template there instead of allowing it to automatically be added if you want it to be a link. (Well, you may be able to do a plugin, but I haven't looked into that for that page - maybe someone else has.)

I would have to add the code you supplied or the code and the link? Assuming just the code you provided?

[Lynne]

You would need to add the code I posted only using the variable availabe on that page (and the html formatting may be a bit different, so you would make it similar to the code above it).

Add a new plugin:

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: member_profileblock_profilefieldbit
Name: Show Profile Field as link
Execution Order: 5

PHP Code:

if($profilefield['profilefieldid'] == X){
$profilefield['value'] = "<a href=\"{$profilefield['value']}\">{$profilefield['value']}</a>";
} 


Change X to your own profiled field ID
Plugin is active: yes


this can bring some security issues depending on what the user sets the field to
