custom info pane for custom fields

[autonami]

ive searched and searched for a solution for what i am trying to do with no luck.

is there a way i can set up the info pane template to pull the information from custom fields per user?

setting up the display in each custom field setting will not display it how i need it.

i have it set up to just show an icon as a link with no text. so they should be horizontal, not vertical.

how it looks now.


how i would like for it to look.

weird how you would post this now, as i was about to post the same thing :D

Mine are for Gamer ID's, it shows the images vertical and i want them horizontal. With maybe 5 on each line.

I did think of a way to get round this, and that would be using button like this With a logo and name, That way it would look nice being vertical.

You can custom code it rather easily... Just don't put anything in the profile view and create your own list of the content... If there is nothing set for that field per the user, then don't display it...

You'd have to hardcode it into the userinfopane though...

well thats the thing.. i have no idea what code to use to display only the icon as a link, or what code will even pull the correct information.

i figured it out...

i just took the <ul><li> tags away from the custom fields <if> codes. this way it does not put the fields in as a list.
and any field that needs to be on a new line. i just put <br> at the end of "topic view format" in the custom field editor.

before:

<if test="authorcfields:|:$author['custom_fields'] != """>

<ul class='custom_fields'>

<foreach loop="customFieldsOuter:$author['custom_fields'] as $group => $data">

<foreach loop="customFields:$author['custom_fields'][ $group ] as $field">

	 <if test="$field != ''">

	 <li>

	 {$field}

	 </li>

	 </if>

</foreach>

</foreach>

</ul>

</if>

after:

<if test="authorcfields:|:$author['custom_fields'] != """>


<foreach loop="customFieldsOuter:$author['custom_fields'] as $group => $data">

<foreach loop="customFields:$author['custom_fields'][ $group ] as $field">

	 <if test="$field != ''">


	 {$field}


	 </if>

</foreach>

</foreach>

		 </if>

I'd really like to do this. Would you be able to explain things relatively simply for someone who isn't great at css?

For instance I can't see anything relating to the icons being used here.

If you put display: inline; on the li element of the lists' class/id, you can make the list horizontal without changing the php. custom_fields, the class the before mentioned list code was in, is in ipb_styles.css

Something like this:

.custom_fields li

{

display: inline;

}

display: inline-block; I believe will also work.

If it also changes things you don't want, you'll have to create a new class. That will require editing the php, however, as you will have to assign the list in question to your new class.

I prefer to change the css first if at all possible. CSS mistakes just make the page look off. PHP mistakes can make your site break completely with the White Screen of PHP Fatal Error Death.
