Adding More User info in Postbit

[amadergaan]

I run a Music Forum...

I have a seperate group for Musicians...and I want to a few additional information about them being displayed when they post

Things I want to do :

1. Give the Group (only that group) the option to add 2-3 additional Profile info.like..."Band name or Solo" ( they will put the name of the band they play or if they are solo...they will type Solo Artist)..."Position/Instrument" (vox, guitars etc)...

2. I want these info to be displayed in the postbit...if possible...below the "Custom title field"..

I don't know if my post makes any sense...but help would be appriciated.

1. Create the profile fields here:

Admin CP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New Use Profile Field

2. Use these instructions to add them to the postbit templates:

You can use template condittionals around it to only show this for a particular usergroup. Here is the online documentation for using template conditionals:

Steve, thanks for all the advice here, it's worked really well

Just wondering if there's any way of being able to use HTML here.

For example: my forum has an award for people who donate towards the running costs - just a small medal.

I'm currently placing the HTML in the User title and setting Custom User Title to allow HTML. I'd actually like to create a seperate input box in which I could insert the HTML code for the medal to show up in their postbit profile so I can keep it away from the User Title area.

All extra user info. would be admin set so there's no risk of HTML abuse.

Any pointers or advice gratefully received.

Dave
