Adding Profile fieldss to Postbit

[RichieBoy67]

I have added conditionals that display some new profile fields in my postbit_legacy template. The problem I am having is making these fields show up when the member has not yet added any info. I know this should be easy but I am doing something wrong.

I need the field to show up so members know they can add their info.

Thanks,
Rich

What is the code you are currently using?

[RichieBoy67]

Thanks, right now just the basic conditional

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$post['field7']"><dt>Height</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.field7}</dd></vb:if> 


[ozzy47]

Try something like this:

			<vb:if condition="$post['field7'] != ''">
				<dt>Height</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.field7}</dd> 
                        <vb:else />
				<dt>Edit Your Profile to fill in information</dt>
                        </vb:if>

You can change, Edit Your Profile to fill in information to suit your needs.

I actually tried something like that but I did not add text. I may have messed up though,

I will try this,
Thanks Ozzy!

#Update - ok, I see what I did before. In the else statement I put ___ thinking it would show Height___ if the info was not added. I should have just put Height in the text field. Doh Thanks again

No problem, glad it's working now.

I had it working but alignment was messed up. I have a few fields I want members to see so they know they can enter their info. I may need to do a little more work to get it to display properly.

[ozzy47]

What is the alignment issue? Perhaps a link so I can see what you got going on live.

[RichieBoy67]

Sure,



when filled it looks like this



I don't have a link because I put the standard conditional back while i figure it out.

Here ya go:

			<vb:if condition="$post['field7'] != ''">
				<dt>Height</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.field7}</dd> 
                        <vb:else />
				<dt style="padding-left:10px;">Height</dt>
                        </vb:if>

Adjust 10px as needed.
