CB Content Bot in articles/items

Okay, I'm sorry...I've read the Using Substitutions throughout... etc....watched Nick's video on subs and searched through the forum....but my newbie "learn by doing" status is going to be obvious here.

CB Content Bot is installed, published, Public, etc. As I understand it, I should be able to add either field content, with the field name, or even an entire tab, with the tab name, into my k2 content.

I've seen
{cb:[fieldname I assume?]}

I can learn from example: I have a CB Gallery tab for music uploads on my CB user's profile. They make a k2 item, and I would like their uploaded music on that tab to appear on any item they create. I assume I can use a substitution for this by placing it in the item.php or in the content of the item?

Just...what would that code/substitution look like to display the tab?

[cb:userposition position="canvas_main_middle" /] to show tabs from a particular position? It just shows up as I've just written it.

I took this from the tutorial:
[cb:usertab tab="TAB_ID" user="REPLACEMENT" /] and put in my tab ID

I know it's baby steps, but I am learning to walk.

Thanks

I've already replied to your other topic regarding usage of CB Content Bot. Please see my reply below.

Substitution usage, including tabs, is explained in the below tutorial with examples.

Thank you for the reply. I see you replied to my initial post and since then I have upgraded as I thought the content bot would be the solution. Nice to see I figured out the right track, but to state again, I have already read the tutorial you have referred me to and looked through Nick's tutorial video, but something is going wrong.

My examples of the code I have tried for the substitution are above, but none of them work with either a Joomla! article or a K2 item...I tried the article to see if it was a K2 problem.

Have I coded it incorrectly?

[cb:usertab tab="30" user="REPLACEMENT" /] (my music gallery tab is ID 30. <--- shouldn't this be working? I have modified the examples directly from your tutorial.

I have tried it in the item content and also in another div I added to item.php

Thanks in advance.

I hate to hassle, but I could really do with the help.

Copy and pasted examples from the tutorial do not work...I have all content plugins enabled and have referenced correct tabs, or simply inputted fieldnames....at the very least, my username one should work. It doesn't.

I have been adding these to Joomla articles, not K2 items, in order to remove the questionable K2 compatibility. Something isn't working.

Any thoughts, please?

Have I coded it incorrectly?

No, your above usage is not correct. In my reply I showed how to use the CB Content Bot tags. The plugin description also shows it. You have to use the following format.

{cb}SUBSTITUTION{/cb}

[cb:usertab tab="30" user="REPLACEMENT" /] (my music gallery tab is ID 30. <--- shouldn't this be working? I have modified the examples directly from your tutorial.

You don't have user specified. The substitution tutorial provides a full example of tab substitution and explains the user parameter. Example as follows.

{cb}[cb:usertab tab="30" user="#displayedOrMe" /]{/cb}

I have tried it in the item content and also in another div I added to item.php

You don't add it to any PHP, but just directly in the article.
