UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 Mod Questions Author Location/Posts/Info under name instead of on bottom

How do I make the $AuthorExtra info in posts show up under the author's name like in v5?

Currently, it shows up on the bottom of the post:

Posts: 51 | From: Texas, USA | Registered: Mar 2000

I want it to look like this:

Posts: 51
From: Texas, USA
Registered: Mar 2000


Thanks!

find the line $rating_line in public_topic.pl (template)

add

$AuthorExtra




on top of it.

scroll down a few lines, delete $AuthorExtra (next to $ip_wording)

YOu cant do that cuz then it will be

Rating:
Posts: Registered:

See what I mean?

simply break it with
codes in ubb_lib_posting.cgi

# author info options
undef($post_total_line); undef($location_line); undef($regdate_line);
@author_extra = @blank;

if ($vars_display{author_post_total} eq 'yes') {
$post_total_line = qq( $vars_wordlets{author_posts} $user_profile[7] );
push(@author_extra, $post_total_line);
}

if ($vars_display{author_location} eq 'yes') {
$location_line = qq( $vars_wordlets{author_from} $user_profile[6] );
push(@author_extra, $location_line);
}

if ($vars_display{author_reg_date} eq 'yes') {
$regdate_line = qq( $vars_wordlets{author_registered} $RegDate );
push(@author_extra, $regdate_line);
}

add
before those


so the overall results will be:

Posts: xxx
Location: xxx
Reg Date: xxx

xxxxx

Remember to clear cache afterwards

thanks, i like now!

I'm still having problems with this modification...i finally broke down and registered here

i've tried using
tags before the tag but they are note doing the trick i think it has to do with this bit of code underneath the part listed above..

if ($author_extra[0]) {
$AuthorExtra = join("|", @author_extra);
} else {
$AuthorExtra = '';
}


I can't get both post count and date registered to show with out the "|" and space between them..

i'm using version 6.03 adn would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks!

ok nevermind i worked it out...instead of using the
methond you can just use individual code..


$post_total_line

$location_line

$regdate_line



It seems to work fine in place of $AuthorExtra
