Information in postbit_legacy

[AfterWorldForum]

Hi all,

Is there any information available or any guides to turn to when I want to add information to the postbit_legacy field?

While searching vb.org I have found numerous references on how to include fields that were added as custom user profile fields, but what if the data I would like to expose resides in different tables than that? Is that at all possible without having to jump through major hoops and taking a hit in performance as a result, or would you advise me to just add an extra field to the user table, and periodically update that (with a cron job, for instance).

Any pointers would be appreciated :-)

Thanks.

Peter

That will depend on if the data is already available or not. You can start by looking at the $vbulletin array if the info is already loaded there.

Hi Marco, and thanks for taking the time to reply.

It's data coming in through third parties, but manipulated for our purposes. In other words, I doubt it's available in the vbulletin array.

Then you will need to populate the data yourself first.
