Im trying to write an If statement here.

if ($user_profile[104] eq 'yes')
blah blah

however if i write a
print $user_profile[104];

its not printing anything, and I know its because Im probably not writing a require statement in the code somewhere.

Which file do I have to require in order to grab the user_profile information. Ive tried so many, like ubb_lib_posting, ubb_profile, etc.

The [104] is only in cp_users.cgi that I created, and it writes to the members file.

I tried including cp_users.cgi but its not grabing the data from that array.

Any ideas?

sub OpenProfile {

is in ubb_lib_files

weird, must be doing something else wrong if it aint workin

Now rather Im trying to do the same statement in public_common. However its not grabbing the users profile.

Can anyone lend a hand as to what code to put in public_common, so I could grab a user_profile[104]
?

Becuase requiring ubb_lib_files doesnt work.

Before you start to grab the info, make absolutely sure it is printing to the file. Meaning physically open the file up through ftp and see that there is content on line 104 or not.

You'll also need to make changes to the maximum profile line limit variable as it's default is below 50, depending on the version that you have. If you have below 6.6(I believe), you'll want to look for the $mamxmemfield(in ubb_lib_files.cgi) and set it to above 104. In 6.7 it's in ubb_lib.cgi, search for $vars_config{'MaxMemFields'}, changing the value respectively.

oh I know, thats all been done already

lets go back to basics, shall we?

Open the file directly and see what is in there

open (PROFILE, "/usr/local/myname/Members/00000001.cgi") || die "can't open file $!";
@readthis = ;
close PROFILE;

print "profile field 104 is $readthis[104]";


You'll have to clean that up a lil, it's been a while since I coded in perl, but you get the idea.

You could even stick a while loop in there and dump the whole file out. My point is, let's just make sure it works ourside the ubb first, then make the ubb do it.
