• Set the display order in the option (Profile Fields To Show In Postbit).
• Choose to show titles for profile fields or not.
  • If not, profile fields' values will be separated by dash - and shown in one line Attachment 78860.

[jankoalek]

great mod...installed........nominated

future request: more custom fields

custom1
custom2
custom3

Is possibile to make this?

Thanks

This is a nice hack!!! They should add this to the default options.

As a notice you need to type field numbers, not their titles. Say "field6" not "Design"

Many thanks Milad,

its working fine but I still have an issue.
If you have a multioption field like
OPTION1
OPTION2 etc.
its displayed in the postbit like this
option1, option2 .....

Is there a way to make a line break before the next option?

Because I am using postbit_legacy I need a construct like this:

<if condition="$post['field19']"><div class="smallfont">$vbphrase[field19_title]:</div>
<div class="smallfont">$post[field19]-option1</div>
<div class="smallfont">$post[field19]-option2</div>
....
</if>

It's possible of course, but you have to edit the hack code.

I was sure you say this *g*
Can you please tell me what to change into what?

[DynaMow]

I don't know. I am certainly no expert. It seems to work for many others and everybody seems to like it.

I imported the file. I am supposed to go to settings. I do not see any place for settings.

I assume they would be under vbulletin options but nope. Can anybody help me? Thanks.

This is an excellent mod

You want to see Thread Display Options (showthread) below in the page. I looked for it some time as I forgot where it is.

hi milad, thank you for a great mod...

i have added a profile field for gender that members chose at registration...

what is showing now of course is either Gender: female or male

what would i need to do to be able to have an 'image' for female or male instead of the text?
(would like to have just the image and not the word Gender either)

thanks for any help in this
