How do you make a user field show up under the users location? We made a custom user field and we want to display it under the user's avatar in their posts. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

If I remember correctly it is $user[field#] replace the # with the id for that field..... but I'm not 100% sure on this.

After having made a custom profile field, in the admin control panel check the fieldid it has.

then goto the style manager and from the group for postbits, goto the template postbit_userinfo and open it.

Anywhere where you want to put your custom profile field; type:

$post[field5]

Replace the number 5 with the profile field id that you had to remember earlier.

With a conditional I think.

<if condition="$post['field5']">Whatever: $post[field5] <Br /></if>

Small advice, do it a day sooner - then I can give it more time to look at :)
