Miscellaneous Hacks - Postbit: SteamID and Hlstats Rankings

Here is my First mod, it's a simple postbit change but i was "mega-chuffed" that it worked

First of All you must do this:

Admin CP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field

Choose "Single Line Text Box"

Title: Steam ID (or whatever you wish, i have chosen "SteamID")
Display Order: (you choose!)
Field Required: (you choose!)
Field Editable by User: (you choose!)
Private Field: NO!!
Field Searchable on Members List: Yes
Show on Members List: (I chose yes)
Display Page: Edit Profile

[SAVE]

Okey Pokey

Take note on what your fieldid is, mine is this case is field5

Now,

Go to AdminCP
Go to "Style Manager"
Go to "Edit Templates" for your theme.
Scroll down until you get to "Postbit Templates"
Open up either Postbit or Postbit Legacy (depending on what you use!)

Find in the template in which you want this mod to display

<if condition="$post['field2']"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>

just below it, or below any previous postbit mods, add

<if condition="$post['field5']"><div>Steam ID: <a href="YOUR HLSTATS SERVER/?mode=search&q=$post[field5]&st=uniqueid&game=">$post[field5]</a></div></if>

Replace 'field5' and field5 with your field number, and "YOUR HLSTATS SERVER" with the ROOT address

Click on the little Steam_ID hyperlink.

Templates sorry for bumping very very old threads but this is a great addition and should be moved by a admin/mod

Does this work with 3.6.4 ?

sorry for the bumping reply but yes it'll work with all 3.5.x and 3.6.x releases I'm working on a built-in HlstatsX ranking sheet for vbulletin so keep your eyes on this space!

Have you made any progress on that, as its something id be interested in.

[FSFwebmaster]

does this thing work and what does it look like?

[k007]

yeah i would also like to know.

I would install and test this out, but I can't figure out what this line means.

Replace 'field5' and field5 with your field number, and "YOUR HLSTATS SERVER" with the ROOT address

I have my hlstatsx hosted, so I don't even know what my field number is.

the field number is the number of the field you have created in:

Admin CP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field
