Add Custom Profile Fields in Postbit

[Nessa]

Hi Glenn, nice you are back.

I was wondering about adding the flags icon in the postbit.

We are using vb 5.6.4

Thanks!

With recent updates from vBulletin 5, you can now show profile fields on postbit without a third-party plugin. This is done by setting "Show on Post" to Yes when creating/updating a profile field in the User Profile Field Manager and it will show on postbit.

But if you want to show icons instead of text, then you still need a plugin to do that. I just released new mods for displaying Gender icons and Country Flag icons.

Hello,

Installing this caused my forum a random Invalid_profile_userid error.

Thanks for reporting. Just to clarify the scenario, you deleted a user and his old posts show invalid_profile_userid error? Did the error occur on all topics with his posts or only some of them? Could you please post a link to the topic that used to have this issue?

Actually, you don't need this mod anymore. It is now possible to display profile fields on postbit without a plugin by just setting "Show on Post" option to Yes when creating/updating a profile field. This feature has been added to vB5 natively in the past few versions which is several years after this mod was created. I actually have this note in the first post about this.

Yes, you are right. After I deleted a user or after I merged 2 users this error appear.

I tried to ad the custom field without a third-party plugin but I failed.

The Show on Post is correctly set to Yes in your screenshot. What is exactly not working? If user has not filled out the profile field in their Profile settings, it would not show it on postbit by design.
