Post list variables error

[Milk]

Forum URL: (private)

Hi there! I'm trying to remodel the Post List. Everything is working as in intended only for the first post, however. In subsequent posts, all of the $[post.created_by.... etc] variable have turned into numbers. I'm not sure how to fix this.

Can I please get some assistance?

P.S. The forum URL is currently private, so I'm happy to wait until office hours for a proboards staff member to respond.

Can you copy/paste what you have? Put it under spoiler tags if it's long (:

Here's what I have in the Post List layout template.

That is strange. I copied it in to my theme, and it did not display the same behaviour. What do you have in the Thread template?

I have this in the Thread template.

I also wanted to add that the $[post.created_by.group.color] variable doesn't seem to be working either.

Apologies for the late response. This was a bit of a doozy to figure out.

So what's happening here is when $[post.created_by.custom_field] is called upon as a foreach loop attempting to use any of its sibling variables inside the loop ends up nuking everything related to $[post.created_by] following the inclusion of that variable, even in the posts following the one that caused it.

For example, this loop alone produces the same effect as long as you have at least one custom field filled out in your profile:

{foreach $[post.created_by.custom_field]}
    $[post.created_by.id]
{/foreach}

I've submitted a bug report to our developers detailing this issue. In the meantime, if you get rid of $[post.created_by.group.color] in all three of your custom field loops it should fix the issue.

Amazing as always, Proboards staff team. <3

Brian Thank you so much for your help! I removed the $[post.created_by.group.color] in all three of my custom field loops and it fixed the issue. I'll have to figure out a different way to get around that. 🤔

Thanks again!
