User profile on left *how*?

[RickyG]

hello,
I would like to put the user profile on the left and not on the top in posts. Any idea on how to do this.
Also is it in the user profile field to add more items and have these show up under thier name in the same area on posts?

In AdminCP, go to vBulletin Options > Style & Language Settings.

Set "Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template" to yes.

That was easy! Here I am thinking I was going to have to play with PHP...WHEW!

Do you know this answer?

You're asking how to add custom fields to the postbit right?

You can do this by either directly editing the postbit_legacy template or using a template hook (the latter of which I prefer because then you don't need to worry about templates reverts in later vb releases and it's easier).

Doing a direct edit would work like so:

Open the postbit_legacy template, find $template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts] and below (or above) that, simply add for example:

<if condition="$post['field3']"><div>Your custom userfield: $post[field3]</div></if>

Repeat as desired to add more fields.

The template hook way:

Add a new plugin at postbit_display_start and add the following code:

if($post['field3'])
{
	$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts] = '<div>Your custom field: '.$post['field3'].'</div>';
}

if($post['field4'])
{
	$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts] .= '<div>Your custom field: '.$post['field4'].'</div>';
}

Note the .= used in the field4 statement. This appends data to the variable instead of overwriting it.

Hope that helps
