Add custom field to postbit Details »» | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
There have been a few questions regarding adding location to the postbit on vb.com lately. Lynne had a write-up here in 2013 using the Product/Hook system which is the best way to do it as the mod will survive an upgrade and there is a hook exactly where it's needed. I'm not going to go into creating a product with this mod.This is an example of a template edit to add a field to the postbit that only takes a few minutes. Keep in mid, this will be overwritten during an upgrade and will need to be re-applied. Since this requires editing templates, it will not work on the cloud. I am currently working on a jquery/ajax version for the cloud, but it's a little ways down the road when I'm not so busy.
Here's how to do it. Step 1)Go to AdminCP >> User Profile fields >> Add new user profile field Select single line textbox > then click "continue" Fill out the title, description and other relevant info on that page and click save. This will also create the necessary phrases for the field. Go to AdminCP >> User Profile fields >> User Profile fields Manager. Here you will see the new field you created and the field number used in step 2. I used field8 (Location) for this example. Step 2) Edit conversation_userinfo template. Add this code after {vb:hook 'conversation_userstats'} on or about line 53 and click save. Step 3) Goto your user profile and click edit settings. Scroll down on the profile tab and fill the new field with the info. Code:
{vb:data postInfo, user, fetchProfileInfo, {vb:raw conversation.userid}} <vb:if condition="$postInfo['field8']"><li><label>{vb:phrase field8_title}:</lable> <span>{vb:raw postInfo.customFields.default.field8_title.val}</span></li> </vb:if> You can add classes in the code for custom CSS if you prefer. The default list view kind of sucks IMO. Screenshots

Hi Replicant, I think this may be what I was looking for, but I'm not one hundred percent certain. Can this be used to add an image icon under a usertitle? And can that extra part in the postbit be assigned to specific usergroups only?
My members want to start doing "member of the year" awards, and a few are suggesting that the winners get small badges in their postbits for when they win a category. So I'd like to see if this is possible. |

Probably not without a custom coded product as these are user profile fields entered by the user. What you are looking for is an awards system that will need to be coded. Probably not too difficult to do. I'll look at it when I get some time or at least a hack to buy some time. With the hook system coming back, this may be easier to do but since it is in it's infancy, may be some time to wait until it's ready for production.

Thanks for the code Replicant but I could not get it to work. It shows "Location:" under some user's postbit but no location. My location is entered in my settings but doesn't show up in the postbit. I put the exact code above into my conversation_userinfo template at line 53 (field2 for me) but no go. Any ideas?

I pulled the fetchProfileInfo for your user at your site and the location info is there so its just not retrieving or getting translated at the template. I've not tested this on 5.2.0 so maybe that's the issue. I'll take a look at it and report back. Give me a day or so.
Code:
"field2_title":{"val":"Maple Valley, WA","hidden":"0"} Code:
{vb:data postInfo, user, fetchProfileInfo, {vb:raw conversation.userid}} <vb:if condition="$postInfo['field2']"><li><label>{vb:phrase field2_title}:</lable> <span>{vb:raw postInfo.customFields.default.field8_title.val}</span></li> </vb:if> |
