Plans Image in Kunena Sidebar was created by micheleq
Hi,

The only answer to this that I found was from 7 years ago and it doesn't seem pertinent anymore. So sorry for asking again.

I have implemented Plan images and I am displaying them fine in the CB profile. Now I'd like to include the Plan Image just like you are doing in the Kunena forum sidebar.

What I'm struggling with is in the CB Forums plugin, in field substitution I can't find a field in Kunena to match my cb_planimage field to show. Alternatively I have gone in the Sidebar substitution box, but I'm having trouble knowing which fields I can substitute.

Namely, I'm having issues with:
- [alias] this as I understand should be the profile link but it comes up blank.
- [cb_planimage] doesn't substitute at all

Username, avatar, personal text, posts, thank-yous, those work fine for me.

What am I doing wrong? Is there somewhere where I can know which are the fields I can use?

Thanks,
Tomás

It's not a stored field so you have to do an HTML based substitution, which would be [cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /] instead of [FIELD_NAME]. See below tutorial for further substitution usage information.

- [alias] this as I understand should be the profile link but it comes up blank.

This won't substitute in anything if they don't actually have an alias stored in database. If you need to use the profile url in a link you can reliably obtain it with the below.

[cb:url location="profile_view" /]

Thank you for that, I had looked for it but couldn't find it.

I got it working as you have it. However I noticed that I lose a couple of things if I do it by replacing the sidebar, like the topic author and the online status which, no offence, is a lot better than the CB option. My users have gotten used to changing it to "away" or "offline" for privacy.

So I'm left with one question:

Is it possible to (maybe modifying the code) where the substitution is really just an appendage (i.e. like using [value] ... ) or is there a relatively short code that I could insert into the Kunena sidebar profile php page to add the plan image?

I hope it's not asking too much!
Thanks
Tomás

Nope, when it comes to replacing the sidebar it's all or nothing. You can substitute in CBs online status, but we've no functionality to change that status.

I've no idea. Never tried overriding Kunena layouts.
