Order of items in mini-profile (postbit?)

[Steve]

I can just move sections of code in display.template.php to order the items in the mini-profile or postbit or whatever it's actually called in topic view, without messing anything up anywhere else, right?

moving code does not effect anything but the code you are moving. so the display would stay the same in the profile view.

now if they are custom profile fields you cannot just move code around to change their position.
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1328 will allow you to do that.

Interesting but I easily moved the only custom field I have (Location:) up a couple of places from the bottom where it originally showed up at. (see attached)

I moved this code to above the Country Flag code and everything seems to work fine:

Code Select Expand

// Any custom fields for standard placement?
if (!empty($message['member']['custom_fields']))
{
foreach ($message['member']['custom_fields'] as $custom)
if (empty($custom['placement']) || empty($custom['value']))
echo '
<li class="custom">', $custom['title'], ': ', $custom['value'], '</li>';
}

Am I correct in saying that if I have more than one custom field I can't do that, and instead need to use the mod you posted?

[Illori]

yes exactly. otherwise the custom profile fields will be in alpha order.

Got it. Thanks.
