Getting parsed values of user profile fields specified under $userInfoInPosts

Yes, this is possible, and the function in bb_plugins.php must be like that:

function parseUserInfo_user_regdate($date){
return substr($date,0,10);
}

And in main_posts_cell.html:

{$userInfo_user_regdate[$poster_id]}

It should return date like '2004-02-03'

Team
function parseUserInfo_user_website($web){
if($web!='') return "<a href=\"$web\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=txtSm>~www</span></a>"; else return '';
}

Is it possible to display the website based on the length of the post? I mean display website only if the post length made by the uesr is greater than or equal to 300 chracters.

Try:

function parseUserInfo_user_website($web){
if($web!='' and strlen($GLOBALS['posterText'])>=300) return "<a href=\"$web\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=txtSm>~www</span></a>"; else return '';
}

No it's not working. I think the above expression should be:

if($web!='' && strlen($GLOBALS['posterText'])>=300)

I tried that too.

&& = and in this case.

Don't you forget to list this field in $userInfoInPosts array?

Which field? user_website?

Here's my field in setup_options.php
$userInfoInPosts=array('num_posts','user_regdate','user_website');

It's displaying the website without the "and strlen($GLOBALS['posterText'])>=300" condition.

Oh yeah... I've checked this, and it will not work, unfortunatelly. 'user info in posts' is not related to the post text in any way. There is a workaround in the function parseMessage(), but in that case, you WWW link will be added after the message itself.

Yes, I would like to know how as I display the website as a signature after the message.

So, this is an example of:

function parseMessage(){

$return='';

if(strlen($GLOBALS['posterText'])<300) $GLOBALS['userInfo_user_website'][$GLOBALS['poster_id']]=''; else $GLOBALS['userInfo_user_website'][$GLOBALS['poster_id']]='<br>'.$GLOBA LS['userInfo_user_website'][$GLOBALS['poster_id']];

$return.=$GLOBALS['userInfo_user_website'][$GLOBALS['poster_id']];

}

I changed ICQ to display aim instead.. but I can't get the links to work correctly.. when people have spaces in their SN it needs to add a + instead of the space.. so I tried using str_replace.. but it's just not working.

example:

if($icq!='') return "<a href=\"aim:goim?screenname=\"".str_replace(' ', '+', $icq)."\"&message=hey+qt\" target=\"_blank\"><img height=\"15\" width=\"15\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://jonindie.com/img/aim.gif\"></a>"; else return '';

do you see what's wrong there? it's just displaying the url as

"aim:goim?screenname="

without the name.

You have spare \" before "message=hey+..."

I ended up changing it to this and got it work.

$aim = str_replace(' ', '+', $icq);

if($aim!='') return "<a href=\"aim:goim?screenname=$aim&message=hey+qt\"><img height=\"15\" width=\"15\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://jonindie.com/img/aim.gif\"></a>"; else return '';

I hope this hasn't been answered, and unfortunately it's going to be a slightly vague question, but I have a synchronized installation of the BB with my own accounts table, one field of which is "thumbname" which is just an image name. I'd like this to show under the username in their posting (the avatar plugin is more than I need as all image management is through my own code) but I can't get it, or any other non-BB field in my accounts database to show up. In setup_options.php I have:

$dbUserSheme=array('thumbname'=>array(44,'thumbname','')); (among others)
$userInfoInPosts=array('thumbname');

And in main_posts_cell.html:

{$userInfo_thumbname[$poster_id]}

.. but this outputs nothing, and I can't figure out why. Have I missed/misconfigured something? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.. this is my first time working with MiniBB.

Thanks,
H

After re-reading the manual, it seems clear that the only thing I need to display a table field is to add it to the userInfoInPosts array, which I have done, yet I am still seeing nothing with {$userInfo_thumbname[$poster_id]}. I've tried tracking this problem backwards but without any error reporting, I can't figure it out..

Thanks to lines 44 & 45 of setup_mysql.php:

//if($sus==0 and function_exists('parseSql')) $sql=parseSql($sql);
//echo "!-- ".$sql." --><br />";

I discovered that the query was referencing the wrong column name for the user id, so I updated that in the config.

Now the last problem I have is that I would like to add a function to output an age for the user based on year, month, day in this format: 1975-09-15. I have a PHP function for this already, but how can I call this function and have it output for each poster in a thread?
