hi u all

Here's what i'm trying to do:
In a Mobile Phone Forum i want to users to choose a mobile phone on registration, that will be shown on their 'postbit_legacy' every time they post a message.

to do this i've divided my project in 3 steps:


1st - Create a table on MySQL database

I've created a table on my database called mobilephone with 3 fields: userid, model, image

2nd - Add form to register template and write to database code on register.php:

on register template i've added

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

on register.php file i've added

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

3rd - Read from database the model chosen by the user on register and display it on postbit_legacy

Now is when the problems start...

I've tryed to use this code:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

on global.php

and this code:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

on postbit_legacy template

Resuming:

the 1st and 2nd steps are working fine, cause i can see the information added on the database

The 3rd step isn't working, because the image is not visible on postbit_lecacy...

I've verified that there's no variable read on load...

So what i'n doing wrong here? What code should i use to get that info from database?

this is only on test mode, so the images are on the root of the forum, and that leads me to another question:

the database has this information

userid...........model...........image
1................6630..........6630.gif
6................6680..........6680.gif

should i add a field on the database with the path to the images, or may i put the path on 'postbit_legacy' template before the variable?

=============

any help or tip is welcome
if any of u know another way to do this, please don't be shy... post it here...


Thanks in advanced

Wouldn't it just be easier to use vB's custom profile fields and then all you would need to do is either use $post[fieldX] in the template or maybe $post[mobile] with a little but of code in a hook?

plzz explain in detail how i do that


thanks

ACP > User Profile Fields > Add New User Profile Field > and so on ;)

Thanks! That really worked out!!
I'm newbie on vB and PHP... :/

There's only one question:
How do i change the name of the field?

i have '$post[field8]' but i would like to have '$post[mobile]'...

i've tried "Replacement Variable Manager" by replacing 'field8' by 'mobile' but it doesn't work...

Once again, rogersnm plzzz save me

Thank you for your help

well it's kinda pointless but make a new plugin with the location postbit_display_complete with the code:
