Adding Custom Field To ShowThread

I have been having a heck of a time getting the following to work. If some one can help I would very much appreciate it

I would like to add a field to showthread, and only have that field viewable to moderators/admin.

The field $userinfo[field5]

And I would like it to look like:

Registered: Nov 1999

FIELD HERE

and if they are not an admin or mod they wouldnt see that.

i think theres no way to do that just in the templates, you have to hack some codelines.

i have hacked my board to have this effekt you want:

open functions.php in your admin folder

find the lines

PHP Code:

// do posts from ignored users
    if (!$ignore[$post[userid]]) {
        eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit")."\";");
    } else {
        eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit_ignore")."\";");
    }
    return $retval; 


round line 271
before it add:

PHP Code:

// Admin Postbit Hack
        if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6) {
          eval("\$adminpostbit = \"".gettemplate("adminpostbit")."\";");
        } else {
          $adminpostbit = "";
        } 


add other usergroupids in the if-clause for your mods

then make a custom template adminpostbit which contains the line $userinfo[field5] an all the other stuff you want to show only your admins and mods

laststep in the postbit template add the line $adminpostbit after $userinfo[posts]


this should be all
