maybe you have the older version, this was a common prob at first, but MP fixed it, try downloading it again and trying it again

@atreyu thanks - that fixed the problem!

I've changed the mod description. Now it sais that you'll have to upload all the modded files too in the install instructions - just to be sure

Sure, all you have todo is to move these two lines in profile.pl:

[highlight size=1 color=red background=]require "$sourcedir/ExtendedProfiles.pl";[/highlight]
$yymain .= [highlight size=1 color=red background=]ext_viewprofile($INFO{'username'})[/highlight] . qq~<tr>
	<td colspan="2"><hr size="1" width="100%" class="hr"></td>
	</tr><tr>
	  <td><font size=2><b>$txt{'513'}:</b></font></td> 

The code ext_viewprofile($INFO{'username'}) will return the <tr> table elements + conent of the additional fields. Move it to whereever you want it to be displayed. You should move it to where another </tr> element has been closed.

Sure. Basically, all you need are those two lines:

require "$sourcedir/ExtendedProfiles.pl";
$value = ext_get($username,"fieldname"); 

This will put the value of the field "fieldname" of the user $username into the variable $value.
To get this value from a SSI call, add something like this to your ExtendedProfiles.pl:
look for

1; 

and add this before it:

sub ext_ssi {
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print ext_get($username,"fieldname");
} 

then open your SubList.pl and look for

%director=( 

and add this behind it:

'ext_ssi',"ExtendedProfiles.pl&ext_ssi", 

Now, you can use a call like
<!--#include virtual="./cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?action=ext_ssi" -->
which will display the value of the field "fieldname" for the user $username.

Hey mike, i used this mod to add a field for people to include their MSN messenger handles, (as well as lots of other stuff) but is there a way for me to move the newly added field for MSN down with the ICQ, AIM, and Y! messenger fields? :sad3:

sweet. thanks man
