By default, MyBB shows the join date under each member's avatar. I'd like to change that to Location. How can this be done?
Hello,
I would recommend you use the custom profile fields feature of MyBB to add one for location and make it required. You can remove the old location by editing a few templates

ACP >> Templates & Style >> Templates >>
*yourtheme* >> Post Bit Templates >> postbit_author_user
Find and delete:
{$lang->postbit_joined} {$post['userregdate']}
This tutorial should help with adding the location -

Worked perfectly, but do you know how I can only display "location" if the user actually typed a location? if they didn't, location shouldn't be displayed.
Right now it shows "Location:" for people who didn't type their location.

You'd need a plugin for that, either one that does this for location specifically or you could use Yumi's template conditionals plugin -

Ok, plugin installed, now since I am clueless in php, what would be the right phrasing of the condition to show the location only if the user typed a location in the usercp?
Also, if the user puts a long location name in the location, it will break the layout of the forum. Any way to break lines after, let's say, 6 characters?
Ok, so instead of breaking the line after a set amount of characters for location, I simply limited the character length so the layout won't break. Now all I need is to know how to have location show up only if the user filled that field out. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
