Custom $post in private messages?

[Cyricx]

Would $pm[field31] get the information from a profile field?

Let me be a bit more specific hehe.

I've created a variable that I can use in the postbit template, in the showthread.php and showpost.php I used the $post query to grab it so that it didn't use an extra query. Sorta like how the rpg integration hack works.

In the postbit template I now use $post[mapname] to display that info.

Unfortunately in PM's it just comes up blank. Trying to figure out which query I can fiddle with to add the information the same way and recreate the $post[mapname] variable in there.

I know there has to be a way, because the postbit template is used in PMs and it understands and translates all the $post[xxx] I just can't figure out how it's doing that heh.
