Hi,

I dont know if there is a simple way to retrieve data from custom user fields created with user module on XOOPS 2.3.3 and use those on the forum.

I mean, i ve created 1 user field that shows the processor of the pc the user have (the user have to fill it of course as is a text field), i want this data to be show on the forums below the user information, the forum is cbb 3.08.

As Im not a programmer can someone help me on a way to do this?

thks in advance.

I believe it should be something like this:
$profile_handler = xoops_getmodulehandler('profile', 'profile');
$profile = $profile_handler->get($xoopsUser->getVar('uid'));
$processor = $profile->getVar('processor');

I need to check if the field has data. If it has, i show the processor (the data from the textfield) and if it dont i will show a link to inform the benefits of filled the fields.

So i think is better to add a custom fuction to the code and the assig the result to a smarty variable to show it in the templates files?

What do you think trabis? would be a simple (for you of course) function to write? or its more complicated than i can guess?

ta in advance and sry for my english.

You can blend in some php code in the templates between the <{php}> and <{/php}> tags.
Check if the $xoopsUser object exists. If not, echo the link. If it does look up the fields and echo them as Trabis pointed out.

I tried putting inside php tags the code in the newbb_thread.html template, but i ve got an non object error.

Would be better to put this fucntion inside the /include/functions.php or viewtopic.php?,

and how to set this to a smarty variable?

any help will be aprreciated :d

thks
