Custom profile fields in postbit, the lazy way

[Chris M]

PHP Code:

global $vbulletin;

$vbulletin->templatecache['postbit'] = str_replace('$post[usertitle]','$post[usertitle]<br />$post[field10]',$vbulletin->templatecache['postbit']); 


I tried to use the code above using the [high]postbit_display_complete[/high] hook to make a user's custom title (profilefield field10) show below their standard user title...

The problem is that although it works, post one has:

usertitle
custom title

However, post two, three, four etc have:

usertitle
custom title
custom title
custom title
... etc ... etc ...

Any way around this so I can get it to display only once per post?

Use another Hook that gets only called once.
Btw: Cool idea! This way one could even cut-down on Template edits

Hehe - In the end I used the [high]showthread_start[/high] hook - Works perfectly now

It is a good idea, especially if you don't want to have to make lots of edits to templates for every upgrade

How does one change multiple lines in a template?

I've tried creating variables, arrays, inserting the whole thing in str_replace (between ' '), but nothing worked...

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->templatecache['templatename'] = str_replace(array('search1', 'search2', 'search3'), array('replace1', 'replace2', 'replace3'), $vbulletin->templatecache['templatename']); 


If that is what you want ...

Do you have the plug-in made for this then so I can use it?

I missed a pretty cool thread. Thanks for bumping this back into the New Posts listing.

I wanted something like:

PHP Code:

$x = 'everything
I
want
replaced
here';

$x_1 = 'everything
 I
 want
to
replace
 here';

$vbulletin->templatecache['templatename'] = str_replace($x, $x_1, $vbulletin->templatecache['templatename']); 


But it doesn't work...

Thanks for the help, anyway.

[Andreas]

Erm ... that should work just fine.
