    [Forum] What is this called?

    Sorry for the silly question but what is this information called and where do I add additional information/categories like this in the ACP to show up in members posts/threads as shown below?

    Thanks.

    38 views and no clues? Perhaps I'm not explaining my question very good.

    It is the information on all posts by each member. It is part of their profile information but only certain info shows up here in the posts.

    What I want to know is how do I add additional fields to this section so that the information shows up when a member makes a post in a thread? What is the location in the ACP to add this info? How do you make this info show up here?

    Thanks.

        Yes that shows up in the user's profile but it does not show up when they make a thread or post. Unless there is a section there that I am not selecting to make it show up?

          I'm on an iPhone at the moment so I cannot give you an example... But...

          After you create the custom field, you need to edit the postbit template and add the field there so that the custom field shows each time a user posts.

          Someone should be able to post a sample or you can search out adding custom profile field to users postbit.

              Well... I can't show you from my phone. But try searching for what I said in my last post. If you still haven't gotten help or found the answer, I'll post an example after I get home later this afternoon.

                Learn to use conditionals to bring up that user profile info you want.

                  In order to have a custom profile field show up in the postbit area, as I stated before, you need to add that information to the postbit template. In your case, you need to edit the postbit_legacy template. In order to view this template, you go here: AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> On the style you want to change go the right of the screen and use the drop down menu to select "edit templates" -> On the next screen, on the left side, there is a list of templates -> Scroll down to the "Postbit Templates", double-click on that category to expand it -> Scroll down to 'postbit_legacy' -> double click on 'postbit_legacy' and then you will see the following:

                  Default postbit_legacy: *Relevant code you are interested in, is shown in green.*
                  Code:
                  {vb:raw template_hook.postbit_start}
                  <li class="postbitlegacy postbitim postcontainer" id="post_{vb:raw post.postid}">
                  <!-- see bottom of postbit.css for .userinfo .popupmenu styles -->
                  
                      <div class="posthead">
                          <vb:if condition="$show['inlinemod']"><label for="post_imod_checkbox_{vb:raw post.postid}"></vb:if>
                              <span class="postdate {vb:raw post.statusicon}">

                  {vb:raw template_hook.postbit_end}
                  If you want to add a field, for example, you want something to appear under the post count line on the postbit, you need to add your custom field information as show in RED below:

                  Find this code:
                  Code:
                  <dl class="userinfo_extra">
                                      <vb:if condition="$post['joindate']"><dt>{vb:rawphrase join_date}</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.joindate}</dd></vb:if>
                                      <vb:if condition="$post['field2']"><dt>{vb:rawphrase location_perm}</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.field2}</dd></vb:if>
                                      <vb:if condition="$post['age']"><dt>{vb:rawphrase age}</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.age}</dd></vb:if>
                                      <dt>{vb:rawphrase 'posts'}</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.posts}</dd>
                  [COLOR=red]<vb:if condition="$post['field[B]XX[/B]']"><dt>[I]Your Field Name Here[/I]</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.field[B]XX[/B]}</dd></vb:if>[/COLOR]
                                      {vb:raw template_hook.postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts}
                                  </dl>
                  Replace "Your Field Name Here" with the name of the field, as it will show in the postbit with each users post. Replace the XX in 'fieldXX' with the field number that corresponds to your custom profile field. You can find that field number in your custom profile field manager in the AdminCP.

                  After you have made the changes, you can then save the template and then check the appearance on your live forum. If you have more than one parent style, you'll need to modify each parent style.

                  You can create a custom phrase to use for the "Your Field Name Here" if you so wish to. Use that code instead instead of plain text, the examples above are fairly clear on how that works.
