Break in custom profile field?

[djxcee]

I created a custom textfield and it doesn't break.

Here is my custom field, $userinfo[field3]. Is there anyway to add nl2br to it?

You need to run profile fields through a vBulletin function that handles this: fetch_profilefield_display().

Ah ok. Sorry (still learning PHP), but I have to ask; how will I proceed in doing this?

vBulletin automatically converts linebreak to <br/> when the profile field value is displayed in profile pages (About Me).

I do have Multiple-Line Text Box but vBulletin automatically doesn't convert the linebreak.

You need to run the function yourself (via a plugin), vBulletin only runs it in certain pages.

I tried adding

PHP Code:

fetch_profilefield_display() 


to member_build_blocks_start and getting this error

PHP Code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/subdomains/test/httpdocs/member.php(454) : eval()'d code on line 8

Err you forgot half of your colon .... your semicolon!

You might as well paint your semicolon key on your keyboard with bright yellow before doing any coding in C, C++, Java, Javascript, PHP etc ..

Whoops forgot about that .
Now getting a different error:

PHP Code:

Warning: Missing argument 1 for fetch_profilefield_display(), called in /var/www/vhosts/wincinteractive.com/subdomains/test/httpdocs/carz/member.php(454) : eval()'d code on line 7 and defined in /var/www/vhosts/wincinteractive.com/subdomains/test/httpdocs/carz/includes/functions.php on line 1400

Warning: Missing argument 2 for fetch_profilefield_display(), called in /var/www/vhosts/wincinteractive.com/subdomains/test/httpdocs/carz/member.php(454) : eval()'d code on line 7 and defined in /var/www/vhosts/wincinteractive.com/subdomains/test/httpdocs/carz/includes/functions.php on line 1400

The error means that fetch_profilefield_display() is expecting some arguments yet you didn't supply any.

Refer to vB API for the function at http://members.vbulletin.com/api/vBu...efield_display that states that the function fetch_profilefield_display() expects two arguments.
