modify the delimiter for multiple selects fields was created by vmwebsites
Hi guys,
I've posted this in the "free" members area, but hope someone here can help me:
When using multiple select fjields in the profile, they are stored in db and displayed on the profile delimited by |*|
Which file do I need to edit to change this delimiter?
I want the values to be stored/displayed like this for example:
value1 - value2 - value3 or just with a comma: value1, value2, value3
instead of
value1|*|value2|*|value3
It would be great to be able to select this in the admin area of CB! Maybe even using a small image as separator?

Delimiter is hardcoded, you can't remove it without breaking all of or most of CB. It is the universal delimiter we use through CB and many of its integrations. Values should never be stored to database how they're intended to be displayed, that's not safe. Formatting is done through PHP after retrieved from database. You can display the field formatted with substitutions in a delimiter field using the below tutorial, using just [cb_MYFIELD] will show RAW format.
