vB Custom Profile Fields

[Twilkey]

I am working on some mods and I have used Google and searched these forums. I can't seem to find a solution. Anyway here is the base of what I am trying to do.

I need to pull the info from a profile field that a members enters. I am going to have a link in the members profile that other members can click and it will take them to a new page that will displays various info. In order to get the info, I need to be able to use the data that the member enters into the custom profile field.

So I need to know how to pull the info from the field such as $bbuserinfo['field5'].
Also, i have tried using the example, but as it is alone, it wont work.

EX. - I need the full version of this to work.
(Nevermind the $keyurl, unless your method of getting the field data to work will mess it up.)

PHP Code:

$url = 'http://domain.com/index.php?variable=' . $bbuserinfo['field5'] . "&start=0&end=5" . $keyurl;

Anything?

Where are you putting the code, and where are you using the variable?

PHP Code:

    $url_gamelist = 'http://haloapi.com/api/player/games/index.php?gamertag=' . $vbulletin->userinfo['field5'] . "&start=0&end=5" . $keyurl;

    $rss_file_gamelist = file_get_contents($url_gamelist);    
    
    $xml_gamelist = new SimpleXMLElement($rss_file_gamelist);

Where are you putting the code?

In a php file. I am using the custom vB page article. I have been messing with it and I can't seem to get it. I am trying to parse a xml file that required the field5 input and I have tried SimpleXML and I wouldn't parse the file cause it was returning as an HTML file, so I tried the PHP Tidy Extension. It seemed to actually go ahead with the parse, but now I am getting T_String errors and it seems to have a conflict with eval() so I cant fetch the template I need.

Add this code before it:

PHP Code:

die($vbulletin->userinfo['field5']); 


And open the page. If the page comes up blank, then you have a problem, if it displays the correct value, your other code is not working properly.

Yeah, the info is showing, so something in vB is making the script not work cause the script works standalone.
