how to alter/modify post headers

[UTE304]

i guess its easier to show you the pics of what i've got, and what i'd like to do.

the first pic is our current post headers, how they're displayed

we'd like to add another name/status below the custom user title, as shown on pic2 and be able to apply the different name/status to different usergroups on the forum.

see first attached pic for our current format

and second attached pic for our desired format

any assistance will be muchly appreciated.

is it in the "too hard" basket?

Please wait at least 12 hours before bumping your posts. If I understood what you wanted I would have tried to answer the first time I read this.

[UTE304]

sorry bout that Steve.

but does your post mean that you still dont get what i'm requesting to try and do?

[Steve Machol]

Not really. With the first pic I'm guessing that you may want to look at the HTML Markup optionns in the usergroup settings.

For the second pic, I defintely don't know what you are asking.

To get extra text added below your user title, you'll need to use User Ranks. Go to your AdminCP -> User Ranks -> Add New User Rank -> Change the Usergroup field to which usergroup you want this to apply to. Change Minimum Posts to 0 if you want this to always show. Then for Rank Type either add an image or text. That will always display after the user title. You can also add multiple ones if you want.

For the information on the right, you'll have to create new profile fields that a user fills out. Then go to the postbit or postbit_legacy template and add the following in red:

	<div class="smallfont">
	 <if condition="$post['joindate']"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>
	 <if condition="$post['field2']"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>
	 <if condition="$post['age']"><div>$vbphrase[age]: $post[age]</div></if>
	 <div>
	  $vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
	 [COLOR=red]<if condition="$post['fieldX']"><div>$post[fieldX]</div></if>[/COLOR]
	 </div>

Where the X in fieldX is the field number for the profile.

ok, our first pic is how our current forum sits, username, with custom usertitle below

the second pic is of another forum we commonly frequent, which has username, custom user title, THEN an orange extra status below that

i'm trying to create the orange extra status you see in pic two ("validated" / "non validated"), onto our forum (pic one)

MGM's solution scratched the itch, thanks a lot, very appreciated

i've been adding this below

<if condition="$post['Ute_Make']"><div>$post[field5]</div></if>
<if condition="$post['Engine_Type']"><div>$post[field8]</div></if>
<if condition="$post['Ute_Colour']"><div>$post[field6]</div></if>
<if condition="$post['Ute_Modifications']"><div>$post[field7]</div></if>
<if condition="$post['Interests']"><div>$post[field3]</div></if>

to the area you've pointed out MGM but its not changing the forum

i've tried it both on the postbit and the postbit_legacy templates

what am i doing wrong?

[MGM]

Try this:

<if condition="$post['field5']"><div>$post[field5]</div></if>
<if condition="$post['field8']"><div>$post[field8]</div></if>
<if condition="$post['field6']"><div>$post[field6]</div></if>
<if condition="$post['field7']"><div>$post[field7]</div></if>
<if condition="$post['field3']"><div>$post[field3]</div></if>
