    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:

    HTML Code:
    <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

      You haven't created the phrase 'first_name' it seems. Either just hardcode it there or add a new phrase.

        I am trying to get the style to show of the user that is posting to show in postbit. But have had no luck. Has anyone had luck with this?

          But how to find an existing phrase for "$post['fieldX'] ???

          For example, I added the "$post['fieldX'] condition for the: "Where you live" field. Now, how can I find it in the phrases?

          If at least I would know the "phrase type" from for example "$vbphrase[join_date]" it would be much easier to find.

            Hi Zachery

            Just a preinstall question, the vB3 has an option to don't allow avatars and signatures to specific usergroups? or I need hacking?

            See Ya

                    any new filed you have wont have a preesisting prhase, you can either add one or hardcore it by just tpying it out.

                      Q11. How Can I change my postbit to look like vBulletin 2

                      A11. ACP > vBulletin Options > Style & Language Settings * > Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template > YES
                      *(RC2 and lower, it is in Thread Display Options (showthread) )


                      -Here's my silly question. If you elect to use this postbit template, does that mean that the index page will just look like the latest version of 2.0, or does that mean everything [for example, inside the individual threads, the way the posts are set up so all the little icons for website, profile, etc] will be the same?

                        where is the profile template located? I want to check a difference between the avatar border in my profile and in my postbit because it's working how I want it to in the profile but NOT in the postbit, so I'm trying to figure out why.

                              Well...thanks folks!! The Legacy bit works great!

                              Except now, the Rank indicator appears above the users avatar instead of beside it like the old Lesane Awards hack did!

                              Can the location of where the rank is displayed be manipulated?

                              Thanks!
