custom field in postbit

[webmastershome]

Dear Sir,

Yes i am looking for new field.

I create a new field in member profile area single text box..

And define the value in showthread.php like belwo

$post['fieldx']

Now

I want this field value in PostBit template but there is no value here

Regards
Jitender

<if condition $post['fieldx'];>$post['fieldx'];</if>

I think that should work.

Use instead:

<if condition="$post['fieldx']">
  $post[fieldx]
</if>

Where "x" is you will need to change it to the Field ID. The ID is found in the custom field you've created in Admin CP.

thanks for your reply...

but i change the $post['fieldx'] in showthread.php as below

$post['my_variable']='text'.$post['fieldx'];

now when i call the $post['my_variable'] in postbit there is no value

Regards
Jitender

You only need to add this to postbit, nothing else

i am using below

<if condition="!$post['my_variable']">
$post[my_variable]
</if>

Ok, there are a couple of things wrong with this which is why it isn't working.

1. A '!' means 'not' so what you are actually doing here is telling it that if it is not to post my_variable then you want it to post my_variable. So it is reading the if condition and ignoring it as it doesn't want to not to post it. Sounds confusing? Think how your poor site feels
2. If you are using a profile field that you have created as per your first post, then you do not need to use a different variable to call it. You simply use [fieldx] where x is the number assigned to the profile field in the profile field manager.

So you should use

<if condition="$post[fieldx]">
$post[fieldx]
</if>

Make sure you replace both instances of x with the field number, found as detailed in point #2 above.

If you wish to add a label before the contents of the field, simply add this text before the middle line of code and ensure you leave a space, otherwise it will all run into one.

Don't worry about it. Your code is good, it just got itself changed.

No worries at all. I'm just having fun with it.
