Using your User Profile Fields in your postbit templates (w/ all plugin method)
This article is written with the assumption that you have already created your own User Profile Fields in the User Profile Field Manager. If you need help with this, you may read about it in the manual here - http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/profile For the Purposes of this article, I will be referring to "fieldx" as the name of your profile field. Your real name will be found in the User Profile Manager in the "Name" column - field1, field2, etc. Adding the Profile Field to your postbit (or postbit_legacy) template For Single-Line Text Box, Multiple-Line Text Box, Single-Selection Radio Buttons, and Single-Selection Menu Method 1 - Modifying the Template Open the postbit or postbit_legacy template and find the area you want to add it to. For instance, to add it right after the user post count, find this:Method 2 - Using a template_hook I have always found it easier to just use the existing $template_hooks in the template and write a plugin to add these. In this case, there is a $template_hook right where we want it, after the user post count:For Multiple-Selection Menu and Multiple-Selection Checkbox It is a bit more complicated for these two types of selections since the options selected are stored as a binary number. If you just display the field using the method above, you will get a number, not a list of options selected. So, in order to use these types of fields, you will have to use the method below. Here is a thead that will explain the binary scheme - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...To-The-Postbit Method 1 - Modifying the Template Open the template and find the area you want to add it to. For instance, to add it right after the user post count, find this:Method 2 - Using a template_hook Find the template_hook you want to use. In this case, there is a $template_hook right where we want it, after the user post count:More Advanced If you like everything to be 'automatic' - meaning you don't have to supply any text at all, just use everything already stored in the database - then you can use a few of plugins to do the work for you. Plugin 1 - This plugin is used to get the phrasegroup "cprofilefield" added for use in the page so that you may use $vbphrase[fieldx_title] to get the Profile Field Title you entered in the User Profile Field Manager. ? hook location - init_startupPlugin 2 - This plugin is used to get the fields you defined for the profile in the User Profile Field Manager. ? hook location - showthread_postbit_createPlugin 3 - This plugin simply spits the data out into the postbit using the template_hook and using the phrase for the Title and the Options are all spit out with commas between them (if needed) into the postbit. ? hook location - postbit_display_complete |

Thanks for this!
Also, I have one question...Let's say I use this in my template.. Code:
<vb:if condition="$post['field5']"><dt>My Field5</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.field5}</dd></vb:if> Is there anyway to still show it to guests? It disappears on me when I log out. Same holds true for using the plugin method. |

If the field is private (this has to do with your options when setting up the user profile field), then it won't show.

You need to put it under the userinfo_extra div. Or, put it in it's own div with that class in order to get it layed out correctly.

Thank you again Lynne.
Unfortunately I am a bit old and senile LOL What would the div class be? just guessing here. Code:
<div> <vb:if condition="$post['field6']"><dt>Name</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.field6}</dd></vb:if> <vb:if condition="$post['field5']"><dt>Ride</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.field5}</dd></vb:if></div> Tim EDIT <dl class="userinfo_extra"> I added another instance and used that to achieve whats needed. I hope no advewrse reactions from using it Thanks again!!! Tim |
