improved custom profile fields

[kase]

When I create a Custom Profile Field and Link the Content of the Field to a Website, that happens only on the Topic View.

For example:

Profile Field Name: Playername
Content: Dagobert

Topic View Format: <span class='ft'>{title}:</span><span class='fc'><a href="playerdatabse/{content}">{content}</a></span>



Of course the Link is only on the Topic View because I only can change that View Format. But if I could it would be better.

Also a BBCode parsing for the Description would be nice.

And when I edit the profile settings the fields appear on the bottom of the page after numerous settings. Maybe a extra category of these settings relevant to the Custom Profile Field Group would be fine.

Hi. I'm not sure what the first question is.

You can use html in the ACP where you edit custom profile fields. e.g.

<span class='ft'><b>{title}: </b></span><span class='fc'>{content}</span><br /><br />

This makes the title bold and a couple of line breaks are added.

Hope this helps.

Sorry if it was not so clear. I want to give Feedback.

I would like to see if you can also customise the way of display a custom profile field on the profile view.

I've made this request as well.



Bumping that with your request might help bring more attention to it.

Before that post I have contacted the Support:

Hello,

There would have to be a switch to say that the field contains a URL. Right now, that isn't possible except, as you mentioned, in the topic view format.

I'd recommend adding that as a suggestion to [url="../../forum/298-ipboard/"]http://community.invisionpower.com/forum/298-ipboard/[/url]

There's been a handful of people ask for that, and I think you could get some support behind you for that idea to have it added to the next version.

So I hope that it will come in a further release. :-)

Me too, which is why you should bump that other topic, so it gets more attention. :)
