I couldn't do anything, not even get into the ACP, every URL was met with the same error, the only way out was to upgrade to 5.1.0.

I tried the same in 5.1.0, and the same thing happened, eventually gave up on it, is there an easier way to add these fields to the postbit ?

Why don't you post screen shots of *exactly* what you did.

[Spangle]

I'm confident I followed your instructions correctly, I'm hesitant to go through the process again, in case I "break" the forum again.

You would think there would be an easier way to incorporate fields into postbit.

BTW this link:

http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/profile


gives a "Page not found" response

Attempted this again, followed the instructions to the letter.

Exactly the same result.

There is a serious error and the page cannot be rendered

Would advise that users of 5.0.5 and 5.1.0 do not use this until a fix is posted.

I'm using 5.1.3 A6 and I still cannot get this to display the profile fields, here is the code I am using in the template conversation_fields

I just put your code into the template on my site and it works just fine.

If you are still getting the This is a Serious Error message on your page, then go into debug mode and see what the real error is.

To enable debug mode edit the /config.php file and change:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

To:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Then edit the /core/includes/config.php file and change:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

To:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

To set that up for only your IP address (replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your IP), put these lines around the code:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

How would I display a piece of information in the postbit only if the user VIEWING the page is logged in and in the supermoderator or admin user group?

Actually, I think I got it... but this could probably be cleaned up... I'm also not 100% sure membergroupids is an array? This is vb5.1.2

<vb:if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(5,6,16))">
<vb:if condition="in_array($userInfo['membergroupids'], array(14,15))">
<span style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">Display Stuff Here</span><br>
</vb:if>
</vb:if>

And one more update... userinfo['membergroupids'] shows up as a string when I do a debugvardump. How do I check to see if it contains the group ID? vBulletin doesn't allow you to search in a string according to http://bit.ly/1uBdO1U

[Lynne]

I believe is_member_of is the function your would want to use.

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5, 6, 16)">
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($userInfo, 14, 15)">

Thanks for the tutorial!

I show my result

hi
I can not find Admincp > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Template
Instead There is : Add New style
And there is no place to add code

[Lynne]

Add New Template is a dropdown next to the style. The default dropdown will say Style Variable Editor, so just click on that to see the other options.

Hello--
I am following this tutorial and have created a new category called "Custom" and added a new field called "industry". "Industry" has several check boxes for the user to check. The "Custom" category has ID = 1 and the industry field is field=5. I created and added this code to a template called "conversation_fields":

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)

The word "Industry: " displays in my postpit but the values (picked by checkbox) do not display. How can I get the value of the field "Industry" to also be displayed?

Thanks.

[Lynne]

That looks like it should work. Can I get a screen shot of your profile field 5?
