Miscellaneous Hacks - Postbit: SteamID and Hlstats Rankings

Here is my First mod, it's a simple postbit change but i was "mega-chuffed" that it worked

First of All you must do this:

Admin CP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field

Choose "Single Line Text Box"

Title: Steam ID (or whatever you wish, i have chosen "SteamID")
Display Order: (you choose!)
Field Required: (you choose!)
Field Editable by User: (you choose!)
Private Field: NO!!
Field Searchable on Members List: Yes
Show on Members List: (I chose yes)
Display Page: Edit Profile

[SAVE]

Okey Pokey

Take note on what your fieldid is, mine is this case is field5

Now,

Go to AdminCP
Go to "Style Manager"
Go to "Edit Templates" for your theme.
Scroll down until you get to "Postbit Templates"
Open up either Postbit or Postbit Legacy (depending on what you use!)

Find in the template in which you want this mod to display

<if condition="$post['field2']"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>

just below it, or below any previous postbit mods, add

<if condition="$post['field5']"><div>Steam ID: <a href="YOUR HLSTATS SERVER/?mode=search&q=$post[field5]&st=uniqueid&game=">$post[field5]</a></div></if>

Replace 'field5' and field5 with your field number, and "YOUR HLSTATS SERVER" with the ROOT address

an example can be found here:

Click on the little Steam_ID hyperlink.


have fun!

This works fine although I changed mine to an icon instead of a text link. If you have hlstats or hlstatsx, this works for both.

thanks

thanks

<if condition="$post['field8']"><a href="http://my_hlstatsx_link.com/?mode=search&q=$post[field8]&st=uniqueid&game=" target="_blank"><img src="http://image_link.com" border="0" alt="HLStatsX Ranking for $post[field8]"></a></if>

Replace "field8" with the field number that shows in the "User Profile Field Manager" under the "Name" column. Obviously make sure you created a new user profile field for Steam ID first.
