You can leave the rest to default.

**Note down the number of the field! Example: field16. You need to replace the X in the next code with the number!**

i think i did it right, replacing the two variable "X"s with values "8"s, and can't see it --

- Did you upload the banner to the correct path?
- Did do this modification both in the postbit and postbit_lecacy template?

OK, I've kind of got this working but when I click on my icon it just takes me to the myspace homepage and not to my profile. I've edited $post[fieldx] to $post[field6] to match my myspace prodile name but it still isn't working .

Any ideas?

There are 2 $post[fieldx]'s did you edit both of them?

Doh!

Thanks for that mate, corrected now and working fine.

Would this be easy to do for other sites like Bebo too??

More of my members have Bebo pages so I altered the original code a little and got it working for Bebo too. I hope thats ok with the original author :up:

Code:

<!-- Bebo start -->
<if condition="$post[fieldX]"><a href="http://$post[fieldx].bebo.com" alt="View my Bebo" target="_blank">
<img src="images/misc/bebo.gif" border="0"></a>
</if>
<!-- Bebo end -->
