Hello all,

I'd like to figure out a way to add a user field that is admin editable only that lets me put in a SSI to call say a Poll PHP or other ASP/PHP/CGI file. Any thoughts on how I could do this?

Incidentally I would be putting the results of the SSI under the users name when they post similar to how the UUBDev Haxxor icon appears.

Unfortunately, it's very difficult to process SSI tags in CGI output.

You might want to use a Javascript there instead to call the outside script.

I.e.



Then make the script output document.write(s) rather than printing directly.

Of course, this will cause the script to get hit once for each and every post in a topic...

You should probably reconsider the idea.

Hrm...

Well what I would like to do is have a set of images that a member could 'attain' and display them if they have attained that rank or ability. A member might have up to 20 of these images... then again they may only have 1.

The key is I want to be able to update which of these things they've gotten once in a flatfile or database someplace, and have it show up whenever they post.
