XF 2.0 Display custom user fields under username/avatar

[OldWillysForum]

Is there a way to display custom user fields under their username/avatar? I'd like to display one custom user field here (first name).

Thanks,
Pete

Bump, any advice on displaying custom user fields under the username/avatar?

In the template message_macros, after
<xf:if is="{$dateHtml}"><div class="message-date">{$dateHtml}</div></xf:if>
insert
{$user.Profile.custom_fields.yourcustomfieldname}
Style it as you see fit.

Thanks, I'll give this a shot.

I added the insert, and it works.

Is there a tutorial on styling somewhere? I'm new to this, and could use some help understanding the styling in XF2

@S Thomas
I have added this code to the template message_macros, as suggested above:

                <div style="color:#2f4456; font-size:70%;">
                    First Name:<b> {$user.Profile.custom_fields.first_name}</b>
                    </div>
                <div style="color:#2f4456; font-size:70%;">
                    Model:<b> {$user.Profile.custom_fields.my_willys_is_a}</b>
                    </div>
                <div style="color:#2f4456; font-size:70%;">
                    Year:<b> {$user.Profile.custom_fields.the_year_of_my_willys_is}</b>
                    </div>

The first line of code works, and pulls the user's first name.
The second and third lines only display "array" instead of pulling from the database.

What am I missing? Again, I'm new to this stuff, fumbling my way through...

Thanks,
Pete

The template variables and functions are tightly bound to the source code of XF. You would need to understand that in the first stance to utilize templates to their maximum.

What kind of custom field are the other 2? I suppose the first is a single-line text input.

Am I missing here something or why didnt you use ACP->Appearance->Styles->Your Style->Style Properties->Messages->Message User Info Elements->Custom Fields


It says it in Custom User Fields

That would be too easy Damn I should read through XF's options more rather than through the code lmao

@S Thomas
The other two fields are multiple choice dropdown fields...

I turned this on, and it shows the custom user fields in the about section of a user's profile, but doesn't show the fields under their avatar. I'm just wanting to display three of the custom fields I have, in this location.
Thanks,

In the custom field activate this:

Then go to Appearance -> Styles -> Your Style -> Style properties -> Messages
and tick this:
