    Display extra user info in each post

    I have seen some vbulletin sites and inside each post on the left side it shows the users avatar and some other info like the age,sex etc.

    Can anyone advise on how to do this please?

      You can add custom user fields to your postbit template

      Add a new custom profile field, then note its ID number. then add it to the postbit

      <if condition="$post[fieldX]">Description: $post[fieldX]</if>

      make sure to change X for the id number

              First create a new profile field in your:

              Admin CP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field

              Users can enter their info into the profile field by going to their User CP. To display the information in posts you need to go to your:

              Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Postbit Templates -> postbit or postbit_legacy (depending on which layout you use)

              Add this code:

              Code:
              <if condition="$post['[color=red]fieldX[/color]']">
	$post[[color=red]fieldX[/color]]
</if>
              Where fieldX is the field indentifier of the profile field as shown in your:

              Admin CP -> User Profile Fields -> User Profile Field Manager

              The exact placement of this code depends on where you want it to show up.

                  problem

                  I inserted the code you mentioned and replaced X with the number corresponding to the custom field. My news custom field is "Favourite team".

                  The problem is that in the messages postbit it shows only the text I entered, without the custom's filed description.

                  example: it displays "Steaua Bucharest" instead of "Favourite team: Steaua Bucharest".

                  How can I make visible whole phrase? 10q

                      Change this to:

                      <if condition="$post['fieldX']">
                      Favourite Team: $post[fieldX]

                              One more problem regarding the new cutom field.

                              By default, if the user does not modify it to write for example FC Barcelona, this filed is not empty. It has the following text: "30". I attached a screenshot.

                                      Is not working. I get the following error:

                                      The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

                                      Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /var/www/www.onlinesport.ro/html/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3055) : eval()'d code on line 209

                                      This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

                                          It shouldn't

                                          Try this one:
                                          Code:
                                           <if condition="$post['fieldX']">
   Favourite Team: $post[fieldX]

                                              The problem is that the number 30 will make the condition true.

                                              I don't why why the field is being set to 30, but this condition should get around that:

                                              Code:
                                              <if condition="$post['[color=red]fieldX[/color]'] AND $post['[color=red]fieldX[/color]'] != 30">
	$post[[color=red]fieldX[/color]]
</if>

                                                  Here is my entire cod in postbit, maybe is something wrong. (but I imagine something is wrong at registration process):
