UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications V6 Mod Ideas Custom registration field, how can I display them under usernames?

Is there a way to pull the info from a custom registration field and have it displayed somewhere under the members name?

WASSUP!

$user_profile[16], $user_profile[17], $user_profile[18] and $user_profile[19] are the 4 custom profile fields, in which #16 = custom profile field 1 and so forth.

First, make sure that you select option field in the registration settings in your control panel of the custom field you wish to use. Then enter your info you want the user to see in the text area. All you have to do is match the $user_profile # with the custom field # and stick it where you want. Example: If you want to use Custom Field #1 and have it displayed under the user's name on topic pages then it could look like this:

Find:
$user_public_name

Add Under:
$user_profile[16]

This will work with plain text but if you want something like custom font colors or images then you need to do extra coding. I hope this helped!

just what I needed!

now what .cgi file should this be done in?

WASSUP JONNY!

No .cgi file needed to be edited unless you are creating new custom profile fields (already used up 1-4)...Only .pl files are to be edited.

From my understanding, you want your customized info displayed under the usernames along with their posts. If this is the case then open up the public_topic_page.pl file in your Templates directory and scroll somewhere in the middle you'll find $public_user_name. Just take whichever $user_profile # you are using and paste under the username. GL!
