Great Hack,

But I got one problem, one of my profile fields that is a multiple choice list, and for some reason the optin is not showing up properly in the post bit. It is showing a number instead of one of the correct options. I have screen shots of my user profile fielld options and screen of the post bits showing the numbers? Any idea how to fix this so it shows the correct option?

I have a country field that works fine with this hack, but that is a text box option, not multiple choice box. Any ideas?

I think that you set up your multiple choice as a multiple selection? Is that they way you wanted it?

[heynurse]

ya, it is possible that a member could be two options. Is that what might be messing it up?

I wonder if I change the settings now, would it mess up everyones profile?

I was able to change the plugin to allow multiple selection checkboxes and show all the values and not the number value. Here's the code I used in the PB - Postbits plugin under postbit_display_complete.
find:

$Query = "select title from ".TABLE_PREFIX."profilefield where profilefieldid=".substr($value, 5);

change to:

$Query = "select title, type, profilefieldid from ".TABLE_PREFIX."profilefield where profilefieldid=".substr($value, 5);

find:

$row2=$GLOBALS['vbulletin']->db->query_first($Query);

add below:

if ($row2[type] == 'checkbox')
     {
                    if ($row2[profilefieldid] == 15)
                    {
                         $fieldvalue = '';
                         if ($post[$value] & 1){$fieldvalue = 'A ';}
                         if ($post[$value] & 2){if ($fieldvalue != ''){$fieldvalue .= ', ';}$fieldvalue .= 'I ';}
                         if ($post[$value] & 4){if ($fieldvalue != ''){$fieldvalue .= ', ';}$fieldvalue .= 'C ';}
                         if ($post[$value] & 8){if ($fieldvalue != ''){$fieldvalue .= ', ';}$fieldvalue .= 'F ';}
                         if ($post[$value] & 16){if ($fieldvalue != ''){$fieldvalue .= ', ';}$fieldvalue .= 'D ';}
                         if ($post[$value] & 32){if ($fieldvalue != ''){$fieldvalue .= ', ';}$fieldvalue .= 'S ';}
                         if ($post[$value] & 64){if ($fieldvalue != ''){$fieldvalue .= ', ';}$fieldvalue .= 'H ';}
                         if ($post[$value] & 128){if ($fieldvalue != ''){$fieldvalue .= ', ';}$fieldvalue .= 'N ';}
                         if ($fieldvalue != ''){$post[$value] = $fieldvalue;}
                    }
                    if ($row2[profilefieldid] == 19)
                    {
                         $fieldvalue = '';
                         if ($post[$value] & 1){$fieldvalue = 'A ';}
                         if ($post[$value] & 2){if ($fieldvalue != ''){$fieldvalue .= ', ';}$fieldvalue .= 'S ';}
                         if ($post[$value] & 4){if ($fieldvalue != ''){$fieldvalue .= ', ';}$fieldvalue .= 'D ';}
                         if ($post[$value] & 8){if ($fieldvalue != ''){$fieldvalue .= ', ';}$fieldvalue .= 'S ';}
                         if ($post[$value] & 16){if ($fieldvalue != ''){$fieldvalue .= ', ';}$fieldvalue .= 'I ';}
                         if ($post[$value] & 32){if ($fieldvalue != ''){$fieldvalue .= ', ';}$fieldvalue .= 'C ';}
                         if ($post[$value] & 64){if ($fieldvalue != ''){$fieldvalue .= ', ';}$fieldvalue .= 'M ';}
                         if ($post[$value] & 128){if ($fieldvalue != ''){$fieldvalue .= ', ';}$fieldvalue .= 'M ';}
                         if ($post[$value] & 256){if ($fieldvalue != ''){$fieldvalue .= ', ';}$fieldvalue .= 'O ';}
                         if ($fieldvalue != ''){$post[$value] = $fieldvalue;}
                    }
                }

I had to hardcode the field values for each multiple selection box. So the above example is for 2 of them. The 15 and 19 values are the profile field ids(field15 & field19). You would change those to your field ids.

I have read that multiple selections can cause this problem with displaying profile fields in postbits when using this hack or not. I'm sure I've read a way to fix it but, I think, the fix was on vbulletin.com

[Lost_Prophet]

I'm using the Collapsible Postbit (postbit legacy) and this doesn't work for me

[kushtiUK]

I would like to put a line-break between the start and end of the displayed fields as it falls to close to the data above and below - also to make it bold would be handy - anyone know how?

[Krose]

my members just asked me to add more info in their postbit..this is the one
i really needed..thanx for this nice hack..*clicked install*
