It's that you can use a replacement syntax in quite some places:
[fieldname]
e.g. in the title tab description:
[username] is from [cb_town] and his occupation is [cb_occupation].
Lots more things are possible, please see the full CB documentation, and there is still some more documentation and examples to come for this.
You can use this in:
- field and tab titles
- field and tab descriptions
- delimiter fields
and quite some other places
Gives you quite some flexibility in user profiles.
You can display there:
- any field values
- any menu item
- any status item
providing styling, string manipulations, and personalizations.
---> [fieldname] will be replaced everywhere (except in field contents) by the field, like in emails
---> [menu]menupath[/menu] will be replaced everywhere by the menu. so adding the menu "upload your photo" just below the no photo is easy. This is in addition of normal menu that you can unpublish...
example: put this in description of photo, and set parameter of tab to have description below photo:
[code:1][menu] _UE_MENU_EDIT : _UE_UPDATEAVATAR [/menu]
[/code:1]
---> [status]statuspath[/status] allows to put specific statuses where you want, instead or in addition of the normal status area.
in some cases, styling tags are available:
href="url" for special links
target="_blank" to open new window
title="" for hovers
class="" for styling with a CSS class in a stylesheet
style="" for inserting inline CSS style
images can also be used instead of text of a menu item with:
img="url" for specifying image
caption="text" for the alt text and tooltip ?
The example above could be personalized to be different than the standard CB menu item, like this:
[code:1]<span class="yourCSSclassForYourStyling">[menu class="yourCSSclassForYourStyling" caption="&91;edit your photo&93;" img="" ] _UE_MENU_EDIT : _UE_UPDATEAVATAR [/menu]</span>
[/code:1]
a few examples that you could put in description of an empty tab (no fields): (with other html around for nice formatting):
To display connections:
[code:1][status]_UE_MENU_STATUS:_UE_CONNECTION:_UE_CONNECTION[/status]
[/code:1]
To display the member since status:
[code:1][status]_UE_MENU_STATUS: _UE_MEMBERSINCE: _UE_MEMBERSINCE[/status]
[/code:1]
