Show Thread Enhancements - Link In Postbit (based upon profile fields)

Created in a couple of min from a thread request.

Note: Hit INSTALL for support!

Takes two profile fields and creates a link in the postbit of any post a user makes. One field for the URL, another for the name of the link itself. See the attached pic for an example. The link that says location is where you will see the link.

Conditional statement involved so that if the URL field isn't filled in, a dead link won't show up in the postbit.

All you have to do is to edit the Link In Postbit template so that the correct profile fields are referenced.

One template, 2 plugins. The template is cached.

To Install: Upload the Product!

Note: If you want to combine a profile field plus a known URL, change the template to something like this (it will vary depending on your need):

<if condition="$post['field1']">
	<a href="http://www.google.com/$post[field1]">$post[field2]</a>
</if>

Clarify: Do you want it to only show for posts by certain usergroups, or by the user group of who is viewing the thread?

Both types of template conditionals are listed here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=248909

...usergoup permission based so that we can have members pay a subscription to be able to have a link like this in their postbit?

That screenshot is what I was referring to, however it shouldn't be a link. It should show up by itself.

Note to all: Yes I will be upgrading this mod if needed to work with vB 4.0, but not before it goes gold on or around the ETA of December 21st. I personally wouldn't recommend anyone upgrade their forum for a couple weeks after it comes out so that the modding community has a chance to test their code on the gold version.
