Custom Profile Fields (best of both worlds)

Recommended Posts

I love how they're done now, but I miss a few things about the old way.
So I want to make a suggestion.

In pre 2.0, you could place them manually on the topic view. I liked that but the autoplacing from 2.0.x is great too. I can see both uses.

My suggestion is a second option.

Currently it is like this

Topic View Format?


Leave blank if you do not wish to add this field in the author details when viewing a topic.


{title} is the title of the custom field, {content} is the user added content. {key} is the form select value of the selected item in a dropdown box.


Example: {title}:{content}<br />


Example: {title}:<img src='imgs/{key}'>

[b]If you want to manually place it on the skin, leave this blank and add



{cp_field:xx_Title}: {cp_field:xx_Content}



(where xx is the fields ID)


to topic view where you want it to show up[/b]



something like the bolded section.

I like the custom profile fields too, and would like the option to simply show select custom fields on the forum view rather than them all. That way we could have a small list of say top 3 favourite episodes or something.
Currently we have about 4 custom profile fields and that's too many to show all at once, plus some are large text fields.
