Putting Real Name in Postbit?

[Joe Gronlund]

How do i go about putting the real name field in postbit?
Also is there a way to search for posts, just with images in them?

Thanks for any help you can provide..

Wrong forum mate...

I'm pretty sure there's a hack you can download for this anyway, I'll have a look.

Hmm, i searched for real name hack, got alot of results, but no hack.. :ermm:

This forum uses it.

Looks like there's a field in the profile where a user can specify their real name. It can also be prompted on registration. I guess if you look at the postbit template, and try and work out from there how people's locations get shown then you could turn it into a Real Name hack yourself.

If I spent 3 hours on it a novice like myself might be able to work it out If I get time I'll have a look.

Actually, that's so easy it's unbelievable. I just did it

I don't know if it can be done with hooks or plugins or whatever (I don't know how to make them) but it can be done with a template edit.

1) Go to AdminCP > User Profile Manager > Add New User Profile Field > Single Line Text Box and Set the options as follows:

Title: Real Name
Description: Enter your Real Name here
(might as well leave all the other options default)

2) Click on Save and when you get taken to the User Profile Manager, make a note of what name it's been given (field5, field6, field7 etc.)

3) Go to Languages & Phrases > Phrase Manager > Add New Phrase > Set this up as follows:

Phrase Type: Global
Product: vBulletin
Varname: real_name
Test: Real Name

Click on Save

4) Go to Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Select Edit Templates from the All Style Options drop-down box > Find the postbit template > Look for:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post['field2']">
<div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div>
</if> 


Below this add the following:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post['fieldX']">
<div>$vbphrase[real_name]: $post[fieldX]</div>
</if> 


Where X is whatever number in the Profile Field Manager (e.g. field5 or field6 etc.

Then all you need to do is save!

Job's a good-un.

EDIT: You might also want to do the same for postbit_legacy template as well.

Did you get this working Joe?

It works. It's the same thing I used on 3.0, too.

Yep. Vbulletin.org has been using it here since I suggested it ages ago
