I am looking to show a value in the users profile pic in the forums that is not group or rank. An example would be "49ers Fan".

On my current 4.x site my profile pic shows my rank bottom right and that I am a moderator top left, and my primary group (Admin) is underneath.

In the example above I think the icon for Mod at the top left of the image is only used to designate Mods.

Would it be hard to define other icons that could be manually assigned to that position? So Rams fans would have a yellow and blue Rams icon where the Mod icon is?

+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_

Same goal different approach - would it be hard to add text from a users profile fields under their signature. So when I sign up I say I am a 49ers Fan and it shows up under every post I make?

++_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+

I am working on the idea at this point. Will likely ask Adriano to build it for me if I can figure out what is practical

Hello @BarneyLongden

I have something like this; various labels are available for members to select via their profile.

You will create the profile field here: ACP > Members > member Settings (Profiles) > click 'Create New'. (This will create a container for your profile field(s).)

'Add Profile Field (the '+' button).

In the Field Type field, select 'Checkbox Set' if you wish to allow member to select more than one team; select the 'Radio' option if you wish to restrict them to selecting a single team.

Note that once you have set the order, you cannot change it without upsetting existing values. This is quite the limitation for a list of options which might change over time. I do not know if name changes breaks anything - you will need to test this. I suggest that thoroughly test it out.

If your website caters for more than one sport, you might have other lists for other sports (create another Profile Field from the main page with the same container).

My use of this function is a little different - I do not use closed lists which are likely to change. Given the limitations with updating lists, you might like to treat this as a trial. If looks good, you might then contact a developer to create something more robust for you. I'll have a search around when I have a few minutes to see if there is already an app for this.

There might be things I have missed in my notes above. Let me know if you get stuck and I'll try to help.

There is a guide for this here too, if needed

Hey, @BarneyLongden

With regard to what I wrote above:

The app linked below might be of benefit to you. Unlike Invision's stock system, it will allow you (within manageable limits) to update the list of options for Radio or Checkbox Sets without it breaking existing values (Teams) members have already set.

I use this the Invision stock system to add various values in the 'Post Bit' (the mini profile associated with each post). But I will now explore other options allowed by this app. The app should allow you to update your team lists if they should change (as they invariably do over time) without it upsetting the teams members have already chosen for themselves (the stock Invision system can upset the values set for all items in the list if a single value is changed).

And read the app author's explanation here to make sure it matches your needs:
