Great mod............ pity it isn't useable on vb4 Gonna keep my eye on this one in the hope it gets updated.

I doubt very seriously you will see this updated to vB 4 unless you are willing to spend some cash for him to do it. I offered Milad to do it but was told I could not release it.

That's a shame as it's a good mod, our loss that your offer was rejected too. In the meantime I must have had a lightbulb moment and managed to change what I needed by template editing. Nothing fancy, but it did the job.

Hello Rob... Where have you been?
You may not be able to release your copy of this addon but, you can show step by step what you edited to get it to work in vb4. Just a thought...

[Boofo]

I've been where I always am.

The way I understood it was that I was not to release ANY updates to the public. I think he is planning on charging for the vb 4 update, unless I misunderstood him.

[blind-eddie]

From what I was told time and time again here that any addon can be updated with edits showing what was done to original hack. You can't give members an edited copy of the product but can show step by step instructions how you updated or enhanced the modification.
Look at the Random Tips link below.

I know this is over a year old, but I have not been able to find anywhere on how ti get this to work with images.

1 of my profile fields is a single-selection box with multiple choices from it.

I tried using the same code I use for one of my pages where it pulls the field and sets the image for it, and I am wanting to do the same thing for the postbit.

<div class=">$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/$user[field8].png" alt="$user[field8]" /></div>

Is what I have entered in the Postbit Custom Content

I do have the field entered in then custom just below it.

is this correct or is there something else I need to do to get the field to show?

[blind-eddie]

Try this......

<!-- Start Image in postbit -->
				<if condition="$post[field8]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/$post[field8].png" alt="$post[field8]" /></if>
<!-- End Image in postbit -->
