Editing Profile "Modules"

[Cledus James]

Quick question from a half about vB newb.

Does anyone know how I can "call" or "post" a custom profile field in one of the profile module like Mini Stats. I tried just adding

$post[field24]

to the memberinfo_block_ministats template but that doesn't work. Wondering how I can get a custom field to show up in there. Help?

Problem is, I can create that custom field's own profile module by setting it too public, etc., but then it also shows up in the About Me tab and I don't want to display the info twice. Would like to have this custom field in a module somewhere without having it printed in the About Me. Putting it in the Mini Stats module was the best thing I could come up with since I'm a newb and have limitations as far as editing goes.

Thank you for any input.

You cannot use $post in the profile template. Use $prepared instead.

First let me say, thank you for the response.

How would I call a custom user field though. I tried adding:

$prepared[field24]

with no luck.

Could you post the template that you have now?

[Cledus James]

Ok, here's my memberinfo_block_ministats template where I'm trying to calling the custom field data too:

<div class="alt1 block_row">
	<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
	<tr valign="top">
		<td width="100%">
			<dl class="smallfont list_no_decoration profilefield_list">
				<if condition="$prepared['birthday']">
					<dt class="shade">$vbphrase[birth_date]</dt>
					<dd>$prepared[birthday] <if condition="$prepared['age']">($prepared[age])</if></dd>
					<else /><if condition="$prepared['age']">
						<dt class="shade">$vbphrase[age]</dt>
						<dd>$prepared[age]</dd>
					</if></if>
				<dt class="shade">$vbphrase[join_date]</dt>
				<dd>$prepared[joindate]</dd>
				<dt class="shade">$vbphrase[total_posts]</dt>
				<dd>$prepared[posts]</dd>
				$template_hook[profile_ministats_list]
			</dl>
		</td>



		<if condition="$prepared['avatarurl']">
		<td><img src="$prepared[avatarurl]" alt="<phrase 1="$prepared[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" $prepared[avatarsize] class="alt2" id="user_avatar" /></td>
		</if>
	</tr>
	</table>
</div>



<div class="alt2 smallfont block_row block_footer"><a href="#stats" onclick="return vB_TabCtrls['profile_tabs'].switch_tab('stats')">$vbphrase[show_all_statistics]</a></div>

Tried adding:

$prepared[field24]

to different places within the template with no luck.


Thanks for your help.

Where did you add it?

[Cledus James]

Sorry. Thanks again for all your help.

Are you sure you added it to the correct style?

[Cledus James]

Ya, I mean I'm adding it to my default style. I even tried adding it to my "Test" style which is the vB default one and still no luck...

Try:

$userinfo[field24]
