Is $bbuserinfo['x'] limited to certain templates?

Is $bbuserinfo['x'] limited to certain templates? If so, how does one incorperate user options / profile options into other templates?

For example, a user has requested the ability to force attachments to open in new windows. I've added a set of radio buttons with the options "No" and "Yes" (with No being the default) under field9. I've checked that it in indeed the correct field by adding "$bbuserinfo['field9']" to the forum header (it echo's "No" or "Yes" respectively).

I then edited the postbit_attachment template:

<tr>
	<td>
<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_attach]/$attachment[attachmentextension].gif" alt="<phrase 1="$attachment[attachmentextension]">$vbphrase[file_type_x]</phrase>" width="16" height="16" border="0" style="vertical-align:baseline" /></td>
	<td><a href="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;d=$attachment[dateline]"<if condition="($show['newwindow']) OR ($bbuserinfo['field9'] == 'Yes')"> target="_blank"</if>>$attachment[filename]</a> ($attachment[filesize], <phrase 1="$attachment[counter]">$vbphrase[x_views]</phrase>)</td>
</tr>

What am I doing wrong? Oh and what is the function of "($show['newwindow'])". I assume there is an option already to force attachments to open in a new window, however I cannot find it anywhere.

$bbuserinfo refers to the logged in user. In posts, the data for each poster is in $post.

Mmm still no luck using "$postuserinfo['field9'] == 'Yes'". I am making a stupid mistake? Thanks for the quick reply by the way Paul.

You would use:

$post[fieldX]

Replacing X with the correct Field Id.

Yes.

I said $post, not $postuserinfo

Heh heh, I sure do feel foolish now . I thank you both for your help.

Mmm I've now made the above changes, and they seem to be working correctly. However older attachments do not open in a new window....

... I've not got any hacks/plugins that cache posts. Is there anything in standard vB 3.5.4 which may cause problems?

Shameless bump.

check in your attachment types in the ACP. you can set which open in new windows and which don't.

The thing is I want all attachments to open in a new window on a per user basis, rather then force certain attachments to open in a new window for all users.
