change format of custom field?

[Ocean West]

have a checkbox set in a custom field but would like the display on the profile to be comma separated? How would i do this?

You can modify template core->front->profile->profile with:

{{$fields['core_pfield_2'] = str_replace ('<br>',',',$fields['core_pfield_2']);}}

Inserted in before the profile fields loop (search cProfileFields).

2 is the id of the profile field (if you edit profile field you will see id at end of url in browser).

The resulting area should look like:

                            <div class='ipsWidget_inner ipsPad'>
 				<ul class='ipsDataList ipsDataList_reducedSpacing cProfileFields'>
	
                                   {{$fields['core_pfield_2'] = str_replace ('<br>',',',$fields['core_pfield_2']);}}
                  
                                   {{foreach $fields as $field => $value}}
  					<li class='ipsDataItem ipsType_break'>
						<span class='ipsDataItem_generic ipsDataItem_size3 ipsType_break'><strong>{lang="$field"}</strong></span>
						<span class='ipsDataItem_generic'><div class='ipsType_break ipsContained'>{$value|raw}</div></span>
					</li>
				  {{endforeach}}
				</ul>
			</div>

Thank you that worked perfectly... would be nice to have some setting directly on each custom field how to display output.

it worked but then on the public profile it repeated a field a few times, haven't had a chance to look at it further. 

i wonder is there any sort of tags that can be added directly here, that would force the content to be comma separated?

What do you mean by "public profile"? 

You can use the same type of template code as I gave you for the profile template in the display format block you showed.  That display format area is only for the info under the users image in posts.
