Using your User Profile Fields in your postbit templates (w/ all plugin method)

[kiddo]

So I copied the same code from Location to use for other custom profile fields. When I did this, it showed up, but the name didn't as you can see in the image below. Any help??

The custom profile field's name is PSN so for the code

{vb:rawphrase} I put {vb:rawphrase PSN}\

EDIT: FIXED IT! I just completely removed the vb:rawphrase and simply added PSN to the "MyField" part and it worked!

Thank you very much Lynne

I want to show images in postbit, related to the selected options by the user in the Multiple Choice Menu.

The below code works just in "Single Selection Menu:

<vb:if condition="$post['fieldX']"> <img src="{vb:raw post.fieldX}.png" /> </ a> </ vb: if>

But how do I work on Multiple Choice Menus?

In the image below you can view the images, but it performed with the Single Choice Menus:



In this case the user should select four options in Multiple Choice Menu.
These images refer to flags that users rescued

Did you follow all the instructions in the first post?

For Multiple-Selection Menu and Multiple-Selection Checkbox

It is a bit more complicated for these two types of selections since the options selected are stored as a binary number. If you just display the field using the method above, you will get a number, not a list of options selected. So, in order to use these types of fields, you will have to use the method below. Here is a thead that will explain the binary scheme - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...To-The-Postbit

Method 1 - Modifying the Template

Open the template and find the area you want to add it to. For instance, to add it right after the user post count, find this:

<dt>{vb:rawphrase 'posts'}</dt> <dd>{vb:raw  post.posts}</dd>

And then add this underneath (this is assuming the field has 5 options):

<vb:if condition="$post['fieldx']"><dt>My FieldX</dt><dd> 
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldx'] & 1">Your 1rst option</vb:if> 
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldx'] & 2">Your 2nd option</vb:if> 
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldx'] & 4">Your 3rd option</vb:if> <vb:if condition="$post['fieldx'] & 8">Your 4th option</vb:if> 
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldx'] & 16">Your 5th option</vb:if> 
</dd> 
</vb:if>

Change "fieldx" to your actual field name and the green field to whatever you want. Notice the html I used is similar to the html used for the text above me new field.

Yes. All ok now!

I found a problem here:
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldx']"><dt>My FieldX</dt><dd>
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldx'] & 1">Your 1rst option</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldx'] & 2">Your 2nd option</vb:if>

correct is:
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldx']"><dt>My FieldX</dt><dd> </vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldx'] & 1">Your 1rst option</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldx'] & 2">Your 2nd option</vb:if>

I get string error because of this small problem!

Excellent, glad you got it sorted.

TL;DR - how can I display a multi line textbox custom profile field, with line breaks preserved, in the postbit?

I've got a Multi Line Text Box, custom profile field, that I would like to display in my legacy postbit. I'm using this code from the OP:

<vb:if condition="$post['fieldx']"><dt>My FieldX</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.fieldx}</dd></vb:if>

And it works great! But it doesn't respect line breaks, that users entered into this profile field, which makes it look really weird when you have more than one item listed.

I found a post mentioning this:

Multiple Line Text Boxes

While I don't recommend displaying these in the postbit as they can contain a large amount of information, they are done in the exact same way as the single line text box.

Note: The text entered will display all on one line, not in multiple lines as added to the text box and displayed in the profile page.

But... no mention on how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

You'd have to look at the array and put line feeds between the items. I haven't ever needed to look into this, so I can't offer a solution to you.

You might try:

<dd><pre>{vb:raw post.fieldx}</pre></dd>

but I haven't tried it myself.

Thank you for the suggestion! It DOES preserve the line breaks now, however, it also doesn't word wrap now, which means it allows long lines to spill into the post area from the postbit. Doh!

So, close, but I had to roll back due to the spill over issue.
