Profile Field Question

[hobbybox]

Id like to display the info from a Profile field in the Post Bit - however this is a problem im having....

Id like to use a drop down list for the slection however when the post is shown instead of displaying the content of the selection, it displays the number of the selection...

<if condition="$post['field5']"><div><b>---------:</b><br>$post[field5]</div></if>

Say the list to choose from is apples, oranges, grapes

The postbit will print --------: 1 (or 2 or 3 depending on the selection number)

Instead of the 1 I would want it to show what 1 represents which is Apples...

Can anyone help out with this or is this something I will just need to work around?

you need to work with additional conditions to work with the bitfield numbers for your choices. You might also be able to do this with a plugin. Multiple selection profile fields store the information as a bitfield so this needs to be translated back to readable form in the postbit.
