bumpdigity.

Anything new with this? I might look the code over so I'm gonna download it now.

This question may be ridiculous. How can i remove the underline from the newly created links after implementing this hack?

[pcoskat]

What a brilliant hack! Brilliant, brilliant! My members will LOVE this.

[MissKalunji]

so does this work now?

Very nice hack and works perfectly! Thanks for sharing.

A few notes:

1- It even works in vb 3.0.x as it is. All you need to do is change

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->options 


as

PHP Code:

$vboptions 


in the hack code. (there are 2 instances, change both!) No other changes required.

2- If you can't make the hack work (in 3.0.x OR in 3.5.x), remember to set some of your user profiles fields as "searchable" in your admin cp. (admin cp/profile field manager/click profile field name/set "Field Searchable on Members List" as yes.

Another note:

I added this section:

PHP Code:

 elseif ($profilefield['type'] == 'radio' OR $profilefield['type'] == 'select')
{
 
 
$data = unserialize($profilefield['data']);
foreach ($data AS $key => $val)
{
$key++;
if ($val== $profileLinks[$ii])
{
$radiovalue = $key;
break;
}
}
 
if ($profilefield['optional'] AND $radiovalue == '')
{
$radiovalue = $profileLinks[$ii];
}
$profileLinks[$ii] = " <a href='".$vboptions['bburl']."/memberlist.php?".$vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']."do=getall&amp;".$profilefieldname."=".urlencode(trim($radiovalue))."'>".trim($profileLinks[$ii])."</a> ";
} 


before

PHP Code:

 else 
{
$profileLinks[$ii] = " <a href='".$vboptions['bburl']."/memberlist.php?".$vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']."do=getall&amp;".$profilefieldname."=".urlencode(trim($profileLinks[$ii]))."'>".trim($profileLinks[$ii])."</a> ";
} 


and it fixed a bug with radio and select profile fields.

This is for 3.0.x, NOT 3.5 though but I believe same fix should apply to 3.5 versions (but I did NOT test it!). However $vboptions parts in the code above should be $vbulletin->options. Obviously buro9 can advise better.

[MissKalunji]

would that work with the custom profile? or only the vb default?

[noonespecial]

Doesn't work right with radio buttons.

I also pull out a few of my custom fields via $user[fieldx] - and doing this means they're not parsed with this code. Any way to fix this?

[futuredood]

ah, i would love for this to work. i'm running 3.5.4 with a customized memberinfo template. i get this error, can anyone advise?

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/usedhiph/public_html/member.php on line 681

has anyone came up with a solution to this? i actually got it to work on 3.5.4 on original templates, but not modified templates :cross-eyed:
