Hey guys, im back with some more questions.
This is in two parts.
How can I add a required registration field that a user must fill out to register?
How can I display this field in the users postbit?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you
Make a Custom Profile Field and Chose "Required?" to "Yes".
Then add the following code in your postbit_author_user template;
<br />Custom Name: {$post['fidX']}
Where X is the Custom Field ID.
Oh wow, I didn't realise that would make it appear on registration.
I guess it makes sense.
Thank you very much
Don't suppose you know how to make existing users enter the field?
PM or Mass Mail them to enter the field ??

In my experience, once they've seen a new field filled in in other users postbits, they start to investigate and fill out for themselves
i am having problems with this i have created a custom profile field with the id no: 4 and added the code as above in your postbit_author_user template; the code is as follows
{$lang->postbit_posts} {$post['postnum']}<br />Custom Name: {$post['fid4']}
{$lang->postbit_joined} {$post['userregdate']}
{$post['replink']}{$post['warninglevel']}
something must be wrong as when a new member registers the text box for id no: 4 is empty
Did you ensure the field was required.
And after applying this edit only new registers are required to provide the information, existing users will have an empty field.
