i simply want to create a profile field so member fills in a link at at their profiles

and i want the field to show up under user panel at topic views but I WANT THE FIELD TO SHOW A CUSTOM TEXT INSTEAD OF THE LINKS

this is the simple ing feature and ips doesn't haver it 

at ipb3 there was no problem creating it but now its a pain in the ass 

You could have two separate profile fields. One for the link, one for the custom text.

If you don't know how to input profile fields into templates I can help you with that.

i would much appreciate any help bro 

what i want is simple

a profile field so member fills in their steam profile link

and at user panel info i want the field to show like this 

Steam Profile

or just Steam profile  

or whatever i just want a custom text to be linked

I'm feeling generous, check your PM shortly for a copy of VGM, it add's a steam profile tab and pulls in all information from steam about your users.

Alright, so to reference a user's profile field in a template, you'll do this:

 

{{$fields = $member->profileFields();}}
{{$link = $fields['core_pfieldgroups_1']['core_pfield_2'];}}
{{$text = $fields['core_pfieldgroups_1']['core_pfield_3'];}}

 

Then when you actually want to input the profile field, just do: {$link} or {$text}. You'll have to check and see which pfield retrieves what information by looking at the sql tables.

 

Displaying it could be something like this:

 

<a href="{$link}">{$text}</a>

Every page on IPS, 99% of the time comes from a template you can modify through "Customizations > Themes".

Anything within {{ and }} is processed as raw PHP

Anything within { } is checked for a short-tag, or is attempted to be echo'd out.

There is documentation on IPS' template system somewhere in the Guides section from the menu above

i look forward to understand more about this, thank you sir

i still cant figure out what to do 

in fact i dont even want to do it like this i mean with ipb3 i used to create a simple text field type and then using simple hyperlink for display format, but now with ipb4 its no longer possible we must create a URL field type and display format is completely useless because no way to make it to show a custom text instead of the long ass links that shows up under user panel info lol this is a simple settings and we cant do it without modifying themes and stuff

what really URL field type is for if nobody can use the display format, if i use the url field type and hyperlink for display format the links that user fills in redirects to a blocked page by mod_security 

its been almost 7 days im creating topics asking for help for a simple setting i want and not mentioning how many days i was trying on my own and literally waiting morethan 12 hours for a useless support ticket replies about this situation 

EDIT: after 9 days of ticket and replies finally turns out that there is an issue with the URL field type now i have to wait until next update to be fixed

Sometimes I ask myself if there are any automated test-cases within the IPS development ...
