Real Name In Profile And Postbit · **Released**: 01-07-2009

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.

What Does This Hack Do?[hr]hr[/hr]
This is an update to my 3.7.x version of this hack.

A very simple hack to display your real name in your profile and postbit (or postbit legacy), just like here at vBulletin.org.

If no real name is entered, then it will not display in the postbit (or postbit legacy).

This hack was created because of a request by Hannan here.

Limitation with this hack[hr]hr[/hr]
People keep asking for usergroup permissions for this hack.

While this would easy to implement, what people fail to realise is that User Profile Fields are not controlled by usergroup permissions at all, and even if usergroup permissions were added to this hack, the User Profile Fields would still be viewable by members even if they do not have permissions to use them.

User Profile Fields are either viewable by all or viewable by none, this is how they were implemented in vBulletin by design, there is no in between with User Profile Fields.

So, I will not be adding usergroup permissions to this hack.

vBulletin Version Compatibility[hr]hr[/hr]
This hack can be used with vBulletin versions 3.6.0 - 3.8.8.

For the v4.0.x version of this hack - check here.

Hack Support/Feature Requests[hr]hr[/hr]
IMPORTANT: This hack is no longer supported.

Install Instructions[hr]hr[/hr]
The Real Name In Profile And Postbit Installation Instructions 3.8.xxx.pdf instructions file is included in attached .zip (includes visual instructions).
NOTE: If upgrading then just do Step 2 and Step 3 again.

Uninstall Instructions[hr]hr[/hr]

You probably have one or more custom templates and/or styles, and probably do not have the right template hook to enable this hack to work correctly.

Just to let you know I do not support custom template edits for this hack, but you are more than welcome to try the following.

See if the $postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts template hook is in the postbit and postbit_legacy templates, it needs to be added right before

HTML Code:

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div>

If not, then try adding it there and see if it works.

So I will insert this line below?

$postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts

Thanks for the help!!!!

Sorry about that, got the hook name wrong, it should be $template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right].

OK, this should work, from what you posted above, find:

HTML Code:

					<if condition="$show['reputation']"><if condition="$show['reppower']">$vbphrase[reppower]: $post[reppower] </if><div>$post[reputationdisplay]</div></if>
					<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div>

Change to:

HTML Code:

					<if condition="$show['reputation']"><if condition="$show['reppower']">$vbphrase[reppower]: $post[reppower] </if><div>$post[reputationdisplay]</div></if>
					$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right]
					<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div>

If that does not work, then unfortunately you are on your own, as I do not support custom template edits.
