User's Favourite Quote in Postbit...

This hack will add the User's favourite Quote in the Postbit...

Download the attached file for the Instructions, or see below :

###-=START=-###

Step A)

Create a new User Profile Field (in your Admin CP). For myself, I created a new field with these properties, in order from top to bottom:

"Favourite Quote"
"Enter your Favourite Quote"
Max Input - 250
Field Length - 25
Display Order - 2
No
No
Yes

Step B)

You need to determine the field id of your new field. If you've never before added a custom profile field, this should be 5. When you hover over the "Edit" link when you go to "Modify" in your Custom profile Field section, a link should appear at the bottom left of the page. It will look something like :

http://www.yoursite.com/forum/admin/profile.php?s=&modify&fieldid=7

The last number, in this case "7", is the field id.

Step C)

Open the file: admin/functions.php

Find this:

PHP Code:

        if ($post[aim]!="") {
            eval("\$post[aimicon] = \"".gettemplate("aim")."\";");
        } else {
            $post[aim]="";
        } 


And add below :

PHP Code:

            if ($post[field5]) {
                  $favquote="$post[field5]<br>";
            } else {
                  $favquote="";
            } 


(Note : You will need to change the number (5) in the $post[field] brackets to the number that you found out in Step B)

Step D)

Edit the postbit template.

You can put $favquote anywhere in the postbit template that you want. Make sure, however, that there is a <br> before it, but not after it.

Step E)

Upload the functions.php file to your admin directory

I think it would be great if you can change people's favorite quotes in the Admin Control Panel for each user. How would i got ahead to do this. Can someone please help me out and maybe post the code for me. Thanks a billion. I think that would be a great addon.

lmao...

bigjohnson and cabby you can edit userprofilefields in admin cp ;p

btw i agree with Xenon and KujaFire that a file edit isn't necessary...

but i also agree with hellsatan and animeloo that using a file edit can benefit for an additional addon of some sort

I have included things by just making changes to the postbit before, what I liked about this hack was that the quote doesn't show in every member who hasn't written anything... Thanks!

I wanted to ask you something, in the attached pic you have Fav Quote: in bold, I figured you added that to the php file, right? So I did and it's showing now, is that what you did? How did you make it bold?

if ($post[field5]) {
$favquote="Fav Quote: $post[field5]<br>";
} else {
$favquote="";
}
