vb4 postbit link

[wampforum]

is there a way to add a link in a users postbit to their photopost gallery? I found a mod but it wont accept the url in the correct way (ie i can link to the main photopost gallery but not a specific users.
mysite.com/photopost?u= (mod adds user id number on the end
but to get to a specific photopost gallery requires a url like this:
mysite.com/photopost/u1-username.html am i correct?
the only other info i can find is for older vbulletin versions!

yes the variables depend on what vb defines them as like I know in the old vb3 it was I think $postbit[userid] and $postbit[username] maybe. So whatever link you place in your postbit will work as long as you create the url filled in where the 1 is to the users userid in vb and username is the username.

I dont know what the variables are for vb4 never have hacked anything in the postbit personally

try

cheers chuck but it throws this up:
The requested URL /photopost/u{vb:raw post.userid}-{vb:raw post.username}.html1 was not found on this server.

changing it to this:
http://www.mysite.com/photopost/?u={vb:raw%20post.userid}-{vb:raw%20post.username}.html1

takes me to the main gallery page but not the personal one.

maybe its just something that aint do-able!

what I posted should work if we are talking about the postbit template

[Chuck S]

like I said I have never tried it but its all about using the proper code in the proper template for instance it is memberinfo not post and the template is memberinfo_dropdown

Content visible to verified customers only.

[wampforum]

no it was the postbit I wanted (though the member info ones handy too - still cant get that one to work though bringing up the same error

[Chuck S]

I think you misunderstand here

Left view

The memberinfo_dropdown template is the one that drops down on the postbit in vb4

it indeed works as I posted

[wampforum]

ah right I gotcha. I wanted to add the link in the section below where each users reputation,avatar,post count etc sit.
Anyway no matter where I put it I cant get this damn link to work - its beyond me!
thanks for trying anyway Chuck

[Chuck S]

well as long as you use the proper variables it should work

http://www.yoursite.com/photopost/u{vb:raw post.userid}-{vb:raw post.username}.html

that is the proper format for the postbit template as posted

[wampforum]

yeah I imagine its me not understanding it right to be honest.
no matter how i put this link:
http://www.yoursite.com/photopost/u{vb:raw post.userid}-{vb:raw post.username}.html
its bringing up the error - am i just changing the url and nothing else?

[Chuck S]

works fine in postbit

Content visible to verified customers only.

[wampforum]

ah thats got it working. now just need to get it in the right place
thanks Chuck for sticking with me!!

[Chuck S]

yeah I mean the variables are pretty absolute which is why I did not know why yours did not work

[wampforum]

to be honest probably me putting it in the wrong place or something!

[Chuck S]

well enjoy
