great work

Great tutorial thanks.

[greygaming]

how would you go about adding the link as an attribute inside of an img tag?

or is it more involved than just chopping up that string and putting it in whatever tags you need?

I don't know what you mean at all. Can you give an example? You can change the template up however you want. I was just giving an example to make it look like the other stuff under the avatar, but you may format it/change it however you want.

I would like to take the text string from the text field and have it inserted in the href attribute of an anchor tag. I would then use the anchor tag to wrap around an icon.

any thoughts?

thanks for the reply

So you aren't talking about using a profile field at all, but the text. That isn't what this tutorial is about.

[greygaming]

okay.

official vbulletin support pointed me here and said it could be done.

thanks anyway

I am unable to create new articles on this site, and vBulletin support is no help.

Would you have any information or resources that I could read up on this topic by myself?

I'm just getting surprised at this point by the lack of help and resources on modifying vbulletin 5.

This article is about using the Profile Fields in the postbit template. If that is what you are talking about, then it isn't apparent to me. Perhaps you can be a lot more specific about what you want and then we could help. Vague questions will not get very specific responses.

I'm sorry for crappy explanations, I do appreciate you taking the time to read these posts

The picture above is the postbit I am looking to create.
Each image is tied to a link, each link is just the contents of the corresponding profile field.
What I am asking is how to make the output an image of my choice, and have the contents of the field be the link for the image.
Does that make sense?


Isn't that essentially what this tutorial is about, minus the images?
(note: I don't need help with the styling, I can figure that out)

sorry for any misunderstanding or time wasted, i did not mean to offend

If your profile field is a link - http://something.com/image.png - then just use an image tag:

thank you so much for your help

Now, I'm actually curious if there is a way to do the exact same thing in the profile area.

Instead of the field.value being displayed on the profile page, could it be replaced with an image in the exact same way as in the postbit template?

thanks for placating my curiosity!

Sorry I didn't understand at first what you were looking for. I'm glad we were finally able to get it working!

You could probably do something similar on the profile page, but I don't see a hook there so it looks like you would need to edit the widget_profile_sidebar template manually to do it. I haven't looked into it at all, but my guess is the variable names will be different also.

I am getting this error:

Warning: Illegal string offset 'field5' in [path]/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(4638) : eval()'d code on line 3

Not sure what I am missing in the install.

And exactly what did you enter into your template? (Use code tags)
