Adding users first name in post

[Angelis]

I've tried searching, but couldn't find the solution so apologies for asking a stoopid question.

At the top right corner of a post, there is some info about the user:

Join Date: Aug 2008
Location: London
Posts: 6

How can I add a first name field there like below?

If you haven't already, create a new profile field in your:

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

Users can then enter their info into the profile field by going to their User CP. To display the information in posts you need to go to your:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Postbit Templates -> postbit or postbit_legacy (depending on which layout you use)

Add this code:
Code:

<if condition="$post['fieldX']">
Name: $post[fieldX]
</if>

Where fieldX is the field indentifier of the profile field as shown in your:

Admin CP -> User Profile Fields -> User Profile Field Manager

The exact placement of this code depends on where you want it to show up, in your case after location.
