[mini-hack] Hidden profile fields viewable by admins & mods IN profile.

I decided to add a couple of custom profile fields that I'd like to keep hidden from regular members.

When adding a new field in the admin control panel it says:

Field hidden on Profile? - Field only viewable by admins and mods

But I've found that it doesn't work as expected. The hidden field still can't be viewed by admins & mods when they click on someones profile.. To view the field you have to click on user options and then login to the control panel, which is more trouble than its worth IMO.

This mini-hack will fix that. It will allow admins, mods and supermods to view the hidden fields IN the profile. The fields will remain hidden for regular users.

Very simple hack (1 file edit).

Stuart,

In the first line of code (from the hack)

Replace this:

if (($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] ==5) || ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] ==6) || ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] ==7)) {

With this:

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] ==6) {

That will do it.

just what i was looking for.
also im setting this up to be used for refference feilds.
is there a way to make it so they cannot use the same name for a refference in the fileds
i will be having 3 refferences required.
this hack will be gr8 for allowing the staff to keep track of who was ref'd by who

Thank you. Not sure about the reference fields b/c I don't use those on my site.
