Common Questions and Answers to vB3

The field ID is listed on the Manage Profile Fields page. Note down the ID number.
Let's say that for this example, the field ID is 7:

Then use $post[field7] in the templates, everywhere you want it used, ie:

<if condition="$post['field7'] != ''"><div>$vbphrase[first_name]: $post[field7]</div></if>

Thanks for that.
It's half working!
Now in the postbit, it displays as
: Joanne (or whatever name)

I'd like it to display as
First name: Joanne
But can't work out how to get it to do that.

Thanks

I've created a new user profile field "First name".
I'm trying to add this to the postbit, without success.
How do I find out the field ID?
I've tried [firstname], but that doesn't work.
Would I just need to add $post[fieldX] to the postbit template or the full
<if condition="$post['firstname']"><div>$vbphrase[first_name]: $post[firstname]</div></if>

Thanks

Q5. How do I add a profile field into the postbit?

A5. All you need to do is note the field id and replace it for x in the example below, then place it into your Postbit or Postbit Legacy.
Example: $post[fieldX]

In A2 you are missing where you should put the userid

[Zachery]

It wouldnt be that way anymore, i know that much, search for

print_no_permission();

[Ashkarita]

I have a quick question.

In vB 2, this PHP is in the index.php file, where is it located now?

$permissions=getpermissions();
if (!$permissions['canview']) {
 show_nopermission();
} 

[Faruk]

bah, bastard, I was making it so much prettier and all!



Ahwell, as long as it improves it's good, doesn't need me to get that done of course..

[Zachery]

lol atad late Kura, already updated mine for the most part, just some bad spacing now i think


The numbers help me when i refer people to the post

[Faruk]

And I would like to request some editing be done on that post. It can use:
- consistancy (ditch the number after Q and A, for starters);
- improved legibility (make questions bold, answers plain);
- Fix all broken, incomplete and/or cut-off sentences. Sometimes words are simply omitted, making it all a confusing mess.

Feckit, I'll just do this myself... *makes another reply with Zach's post but improved* (someone please remove mine then after Zach updates his..)

[Floris]

I'll suggest to the staff to make it sticky

[Marula]

That should be a sticky! good one Zachery
