If Profile Field Empty

[Dismounted]

What part of a field? To see if what User A entered is the same as anyone else?

Correct. I have a gamertag profile field and don't want anyone else choosing someone elses gamertag.

You would have to do a query.

PHP Code:

$tagcheck = $vbulletin->db->query_first("
    SELECT fieldX
    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield
    WHERE fieldX = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['fieldx'] . "
    LIMIT 1
");

if (empty($tagcheck))
{
    // tag is not used by anyone
}

Is it possible for it to do this when someone enters in a profile field?

[Dismounted]

As in AJAX?

[TheInsaneManiac]

no just check to see if someone has the same profile field as someone else after updating.

There should be a hook where you can do a check before the data is commited to the database. Probably userdata_presave.

So I code a plugin with your script on the first page?

Yep. Be sure to make note of the variables that exist (i.e. $this->registry instead of $vbulletin, etc.).
