Maybe I can help you. I did a similar thing to have country flags on viewtopic. Does you Twitter custom profile have the full URL (starting with http://...)?

Try to add this on your profile info block on viewtopic_body.html:

Code: Select all

<a href="{postrow.PROFILE_CPNAME_VALUE}"><img src="(URL to Twitter image)" alt="{postrow.POST_AUTHOR}'s Twitter account" /></a>

You have to change "CPNAME" with your custom profile name. For example, if you cpf is TWITTER, then change it to {postrow.PROFILE_TWITTER_VALUE}. And also you have to replace "(URL to Twitter image)" with the URL to your Twitter icon/image.

I hope that this works for you.

Thanks for Helping but this will not work like this...

Because like this... twitter account is added or not... but icon will be shown.. secondly when we enable the custom field then url will also show + this icon (which you suggested)+ no control from ACP.

But in reality url must be replace with image and full control from ACP.

And then that url actually works? Because in my experience custom profile fields only work when using internal links. I'm guessing you'd need some kind of mod that parses bbcodes in cpf's first.

yes, that url works, without any problem.

But that's a fact too, we need mod.

What mod did you use for that?

Could you try if this works for the image in viewtopic_body.html?

You mean like .jpg or .png? Yes, just change that in the code.
