NFL sports Site request

[mookman13]

I searched the index and didn't see something like this.. if I missed it I apologize and if someone could point me in the proper direction I'd appreciate it....

What I'd like:
We are an NFL Fantasy Football Site... I'd like a place in the mini-profile to have the persons favorite NFL team listed...

Would look like this:

Favorite NFL Team: (team icon)

Could this be done?

Thanks in advance...

You could probably just use Custom Profile Fields (Admin > Members > Custom Profile Fields) to achieve this.

when I click on members I get these 5 options:

Member Ranks
Forum Avatars
Reserved Names
Ban Members
Email Members

Custom Profile Fields isn't an option??? Sorry if this is a dumb question but when I click on all the above I did not see Custom Profile Fields

If you can't see that option, you are either a) not the main administrator, in which case the main administrator would have to assign your member group access to the option, or b) you're not logged into the main administrator account, in which case you need to switch accounts and/or give the member group your alternate account is in access to that option.

got it thanks.... Is it possible to use images there or just list all the teams in the drop down box?

You could use images, though it would be a little involved (there's no default way to do so). You could try using HTML <img src="image URL" /> in the name of the option, or if that doesn't work you can add it via the Layout Templates.

I did some testing on this and the Custom Field Options do not support HTML (or BBCode). Plain text would be necessary for the choice of team.

It would be possible to accomplish the display of icons (images) in the mini-profile through a series of 32 {if} {else/if} conditionals in the mini-profile layout template (one for each team} based on the contents of the $[user.mini_custom_field.value] variable and {else} for other Custom Profile fields.

If the user has many themes on their forum, the template modification would be necessary on all of them.
