Yes mate thanks just liked this Idea to be able to show them to staff

Well, this should be a new mod, or just template change, not sure at the moment.

But it couldn't be done with this mod without changing it's code, as this mod only shows what every user has set for it's profile intro.

Thinking about it, it maybe could be done with template change, adding it in iframe inside conditionals to enable seeing it to certain usergroups?

EDIT: I was intrigued enough that I made template modification using IFRAME: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=278884 :up:

You could decide which usergroups see user notes and if it is above or below user's profile tabs.

anyone test "Member Profile Intro" in vbulletin 4.2 ?

[Paul.]

This is great and stops you getting a lot of stupid questions!

One question from me though, can the box it's in be modified to match a profile customization?

PS I'm using 4.2.0 and it works just fine.

I've decided to add some additional fields to help with what I wish to do with this mod, but when trying to get a multi-select custom field to display as it does in the member.php profile it just comes up blank. Any idea? Do I have to create some kind of array to include 'selected' options of the multi-select? Here's a screenshot of what I have setup:
http://www.prosoundportal.com/images/problem.jpg
Yellow is the title, it displays
Blue is the link, it turns the title into a link to the user's site
Green is location, a simple text field
Purple is the text field, or description
Red is the issue, it's the multi-select option. As you can see in the profile, it displays each option separated by a comma, but when doing a direct call to the profile intro, it's blank.

Any assistance would be awesome, thanks in advance.

Edit: Ive fixed the displaying issue, but it still only templates the binary code of a multi_select instead of the independent selected values. I understand the values are stored in exponentially (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc), but I can't figure out how to template it correctly.

Is there any support on this mod?

For some reason the styling doesn't look right, not sure what's happened!

[angeljs]

It's okay, I just un-installed then re-installed and now it works
