multiple selection custom profile field in postbit

[restless]

i've been trying to add a multiple-selection profile field for "Sex" with the options, "boy", "girl" and "yes, please." to my postbit.

i know how to add a custom field to the postbit, but the multiple-selection thing is putting "1", "2" or "3" in the postbit instead of the actual option names.

Okay, what variable are you using right now for displaying the field which gives you 1, 2 or 3?

Also, exactly what type of profile field is the Sex one?

[restless]

<b>Sex:</b> $post[field10]

it's a multiple-selection checkbox.

You have to unserialize the field, etc. in order to get the proper answer. Maybe someone could help you out with this as I don't have the time to do this at the moment, although it shouldn't take too long to do for most coders

If your using RC1 or 2:

Change your custom user profile field to: "Yes, including a first blank option" ALSO make sure it's editable by the user.
Then in your postbit (or Postbit legacy) put the code:

PHP Code:

Sex: <if condition="$post[field99]">$post[field99]</if> 


Probebly above 'Rank' would be best.

Change all the "field99" to the number of the profile field. For example if it's 'Biography' it would be profile "field1". And that should work for you.

That option isn't available for this profile field type.

use
<if condition="$userinfo[field99]==1">$vbphrase[boy]</if>
<if condition="$userinfo[field99]==2">$vbphrase[girl]</if>
<if condition="$userinfo[field99]==3">$vbphrase[yes_please]</if>

No, it won't work. The values are stored in bitwise format.

sorry, it should be $bbuserinfo not $post
