Getting parsed values of user profile fields specified under $userInfoInPosts

I don't understand what should I do to get this:
user-fields (e.g. $userInfo_user_website) should be displayed under user's nickname ONLY if this field is not emty.

Now I'm using this settings:
In setup_options.php:
$userInfoInPosts=array('user_website');

And in main_posts_cell.html:
<span class=txtSm><a href="{$userInfo_user_website[$poster_id]}">~www</a></span>

And if some user didn't fill this field during registration i've got a link under his name which pointed to current page. But i want get nothing about this field if it is emty (i don't need even '~www' in this case :)).

Another words I want to implement this as in this forum :)

If i'm clearly understood manual, templates are parsed only for variables substitution. Therefor i can't use 'if' statement inside templates or i'm wrong?

What should I do ?

Open bb_plugins.php and add that function:

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

It's not still documented because we still have ZERO time to do complete manuals...

Yeah, and add simply

<span class=txtSm>{$userInfo_user_website[$poster_id]}</span>

in a template.

Actually, for any specified user_info field, you may write the function with syntax function parseUserInfo_user_info($user_info_value).

Thanks - now everything is fine =)

I don't understand this !

I've already added the function in bb_plugins.php ....
what else must I modifiy ?

MY main_posts_cell.html:

<tr valign=top class={$bg}>
<td class=caption1><a name="{$anchor}" href="JavaScript:paste_strinL('{$posterName}',2)"><span

class=username>{$posterName}</span></a><br><span class=txtSm>{$viewReg}</span>
<br><br>
<span class=txtSm>{$userInfo_user_website[$poster_id]}</span>

</td>
<td class=caption1><span class=txtSm>{$l_posted}: {$postDate}{$editedBy}{$viewIP}<br><script

type="text/javascript">getQuotation('{$posterName}');</script>{$allowe d}</span><br><br>{$posterText}<br><br></td>
</tr>

Where's the error ?

Sorry, but I'm a PHP and MYSQL beginner and from germany ;-)

In which file or template must I call the function "parseUserInfo_user_website" ???

Please help!

Hi andreasm
there must be something wrong with your setup. Please check again. I will explain what I have done to get this working:
1. copy the code snippet from Team's post to bb_plugins.php
2. copy the $userInfoInPosts=array('user_website'); to setup_options.php
3. copy the <span class=txtSm>{$userInfo_user_website[$poster_id]}</span> to main_posts_cell.html
4. clear you cache or press shift+reload in your browser to really re-read the webpage

if point 1-3 is ok at your site, I believe the point 4 will do the job ;-)
PS: if necessary answer in German. I'm too.

Ok, Deutsch ist besser :-)

mann, ich hab nun den Fehler gefunden: Ich hatte zwar alles richtig implementiert, doch das FTP Programm hat die Dateien nicht überschrieben, da die Dateien auf dem Server neuer waren (irgendwie hat der Server ne andere Zeit eingestellt). An so einfachen Dingen scheitere ich meistens... arghhh :-)


Was ich aber gar nicht verstehe: Wie und wo wird die Funktion parseUserInfo_user_info aufgerufen? Da steht doch nirgends in den Dateien etwas davon drin, oder?

mach dir keine gedanken darüber. die wird beim parsen der templates ausgeführt. wenn du die option eingeschaltet hast, schaut der template-parser in bb_plugins nach und findet die parse funktion. das is alles.

vielen dank für die erklärung! nun verstehe ich das

Ok, everything works like it should be, just one question, when I add user_regdate in $userInfoInPosts I get date and time of user registration and I want to show just a date, Is this possible?
