In my PHPBB forum I have a custom field on the table phpbb_users called webdip_user_id which is automatically filled based on the users ID on the main website we have integrated into the forum. What I am looking to do is have a custom profile field of the URL type that is calculated and non editable to the user to http://webdiplomacy.net/profile.php?userID= + (value of webdip_user_id) so http://webdiplomacy.net/profile.php?userID=1 as an example. I am not seeing any clean way to do this automatically without user input, but my phpbb knowledge is very limited so apologies if I am missing something obvious!
Oh sorry about that. I can repost in a different area if that would be better?
The field webdip_user_id is a custom added field to the phpbb_users table so the table has the normal user_id column, but then also the webdip_user_id. I see that in the acp you can add a new custom field without code changes, is there any possible way to automatically calculate the default value there to reference the webdip_user_id field? You can use %s to allow the user to append a value, so I was hoping there was a way to do the same without a user selection if that makes sense?
