User's Favourite Quote in Postbit... · **Released**: 06-08-2002

This hack will add the User's favourite Quote in the Postbit...

Download the attached file for the Instructions, or see below :

###-=START=-###

Step A)

Create a new User Profile Field (in your Admin CP). For myself, I created a new field with these properties, in order from top to bottom:

"Favourite Quote"
"Enter your Favourite Quote"
Max Input - 250
Field Length - 25
Display Order - 2
No
No
Yes

Step B)

You need to determine the field id of your new field. If you've never before added a custom profile field, this should be 5. When you hover over the "Edit" link when you go to "Modify" in your Custom profile Field section, a link should appear at the bottom left of the page. It will look something like :

Quote:

http://www.yoursite.com/forum/admin/profile.php?s=&modify&fieldid=7

The last number, in this case "7", is the field id.

Step C)

Open the file: admin/functions.php

Find this:

PHP Code:


			
        if ($post[aim]!="") {

            eval("\$post[aimicon] = \"".gettemplate("aim")."\";");

        } else {

            $post[aim]="";

        }

And add below :

PHP Code:


			
            if ($post[field5]) {

                  $favquote="$post[field5]<br>";

            } else {

                  $favquote="";

            }

(Note : You will need to change the number (5) in the $post[field] brackets to the number that you found out in Step B)

Step D)

Edit the postbit template.

You can put $favquote anywhere in the postbit template that you want. Make sure, however, that there is a <br> before it, but not after it.

Step E)

Upload the functions.php file to your admin directory

Dude, you can do this without any file-hacks.

Just put $post[fieldX] (where X is the profile field ID) inside the postbit template and you're set to go...

No file hacks necessary at all.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
