vB 4 "profile link" help

Hello, I'm also looking for the best way to add a profile link below some of my users "usernames" in their posts. These are not vB profile links but rather a link to an external webpage of their profile.

It's easy to create the button but how would I link it differently for each different user since it is not some part of a vBulletin integrated system? Does that make sense?

Thanks!

 

It sounds like a profile field would work
you can add a field to just place a link, or you can add 2 and have one as the anchor text for the link
Does this sound like it'll work for you?

 

It's a rich media link so that the profile is a pop-up with fixed widths. Would that work for that you think? I'll look into what a "profile field" is...

 

Profile fields seem to be just visible inside a profile. What I need is a link button just below their name inside an actual post in the forum. Does that make sense?

Ok, here is exactly what I want to do. I want to add this button directly below the users avatar/img in the post bit.



I would then like it linked to an external user profile using this code:

Code:

<a href="http://website.com/users-profile" target="slideshow" onclick="window.open(this.getAttribute('href'), this.getAttribute('target'), 'width=770,height=800,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes').focus(); return false;"></a>

The users aren't going to have that exact code unless I provide it for them individually.

This button and code will only be available to members of a specific usergroup.

Is there a way I can add a profile field that is visible/edible only by admin for each individual so that I can personally put this code into their profile.

Then use the postbit template and put a conditional in there so that this button option is only for a specific usergroup and to pull the info from their profile field 5?

If it's not possible for me to get access myself to their profile then I can email them the specific code I guess but would this work? If so can I get a step by step for the template and conditionals etc I need to edit?

If this is too much on this forum then I can post at vB.org but thought I'd try and see what you thought...

Thanks!

 

On the same website but nothing to do with vB. I'm not wanting to put public links but I'll PM you...

Thanks!

 

I'm not sure what the userfield_wrapper is all about but the rest of it just seems like a way to get the actual button to appear am I wrong? I mean, I can get the button to appear based off a condition to have it appear if its a member of a certain group but how do I get each one to link to a different off-site profile?

Am I understanding this all wrong? Sorry, I'm confused.

 

Ok, I'm gonna try what I think your saying to do after lunch and post back. Thanks for the help.. I'll probably have questions so stay tuned

 

No idea what I'm doing...LOL.

Ok, I'm not sure if this is what you were wanting me to do but the 1st and only thing I've done so far is located this template "userfield_wrapper" and installed this code into it:

Code:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 11,12)"></vb:if>

So now the entire contents of that template are:
<

Code:

label>{vb:raw profilefield.title}:</label>
	<div class="rightcol">
		{vb:raw custom_field_holder}
	</div>
</div>
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 11,12)"></vb:if>

The top part being the code that was in there by default.

So, what did that actually do and where do I go now? Baby step #2 please

 

One last cry/beg for help on baby step #2 then I guess I'll give vB.org a try or something.

Thanks!
