Setting default values for custom profile fields (multiple checkboxes) for new users

[Slacker]

Howdy! Is it possible to set the default of a custom profile field so new users will get start with the options you want to start with? I have a multiple-selection checkbox that allows my users to show...

Woop - figure it out - looks like I needed to use $bbuserinfo in the conditional. I'm good to go now. Thanks!

Here's the one I use:

<div style="border: 1px dashed gray; padding: 3px;">
  <div><button type="button" class="button" onclick="this.parentNode.parentNode.childNodes[1].style.display

What exactly are you trying to do? I didn't think that was something that had to be enabled.

[Slacker]

This is possibly a simple thing to figure out, but I'm not having any luck searching for it. I wanted to give my users the option to show or hide some of the user information in the postbit template based...

That's what I figured but I thought I'd check here first. Thanks, Jake!

Is there any way I can use a conditional to determine how a bbcode displays information? I've got bbcodes set up to display youtube and google videos on my site, and I want to add a custom profile field...

I don't recall seeing anything like that in any version of vBulletin (messageboard or blog)....

Is there a conditional that I can use to make the navbar link change when there are new blog entries to read? Making it like Gmail where it had the number of new entries in parentheses after the "Blogs"...

Anyone find a good set of these? I'm looking for some too: rectangular icons that say PS3, Xbox360, Wii, DS, etc. I can't find 'em anywhere. Anyone have a link to a pack that's free to use? If not, do...

I think you can just modify the usergroup options. There's an option called Can View Other's Blog. Set that sucker to no for each group you want to block out.

FYI for anyone else doing what I'm doing, I also had to set up a conditional to check for the random featured blog entry thing, otherwise it changed the header to my custom version on the normal blog.php...

Nice work! Yep that's it, but that one doesn't work on the main blog page, just on the entry page and the comment editing page. That helps me out though, now I can just do an OR conditional with $use...

[Slacker]

I just found at least part of the answer, it looks like there are different variables that work in each template:

Main blog page (?u=XXXX): $userinfo[userid]
Individual entry page...

I came here to ask this same question. On my install, I'm using the blog system for my new main blog for the site, redirecting the main url to it:

I knew it was something simple. Thanks Freddie.

On the site here I see a "Show RSS Feed" link under "Options" at the left. I'm not seeing that on my site. Does something have be done to enable that functionality? I can't find an...

There are SQL commands that'll do it, or you could just remove the code that displays both items from the postbit template. I'll let someone smarter than me help with the SQL. I'm confident enough to...

Seems like an arduous way to upgrade. Was your old board hacked up to death or something?

[Slacker]

If you're talking about the main page (like www.vbulletin.com/forum/), then you need to edit the FORUMHOME template.
