Custom Profile Field Issue

[Teg]

Forum URL: (private)

Alright, I'm posting this here because I want the URL to be private as this is still a work in progress. The URL provided is to the site where this code isn't working properly. However, on a different forum (that I started playing with the theme) the content is working properly. 

In the header of the user profile, there are some buttons. The "Character Sheet, Vault, and Dorm Buttons" are not displaying despite the custom fields having a value (this works on the other URL not listed). This information is exactly the same on both sites, but the site above will not display the buttons. It also will not display the content in the Middle section of the profile. I simply added "Coming Soon" so it wouldn't be blank and that text isn't showing either.

Any "Red" help available? Would greatly appreciate it.

Regards, Teg

Hi, Teg.

The $[user.mini_custom_field] variables are responsible for this issue. When you want to render custom fields on a profile page you should use $[user.custom_field] while mini-profiles should use $[user.mini_custom_field].

The two variables are not interchangeable. When you specify either profiles or mini-profiles in the Location dropdown in Members > Custom Profile Fields it determines which of those two variables custom fields output to. Since you've specified they should only render in profiles $[user.mini_custom_field] doesn't output anything for those fields.

OMG, I'm such a dummy! Haha, yeah - that makes sense. I don't know why I didn't see that. Such a simple fix. Thanks, Brian, you're awesome. I apologize for my "dummy" moment. Haha.
