Step by step guide

[JohnnyBGood]

I have recently installed vBadvanced on a test forum before I take it onto my main forum. The install went fine without any problems, however I would like to know if there is some guide to let me know specifically what each setting does. Something like a help file.

e.g. the install guide says that I should choose the settings for the "default settings" (about 50 settings) but does not give me much idea what each one of those 50 does. I agree some are self explanatory, but being a bit of a moron I would apreciate knowing specifically what each one does.

Any help would be apreciated here.

Thanks,

John

Thanks Zachery

Essentially I want to know if there is a document I can read with specifics on all the settings etc. for vBadvanced.

Then while I am at it, how do I reference a custom field in the user profile? Eg. {3} gives me the username, but in my case I want to use the custom field I have created for the users [Firstname].

Thanks mate,

John

Depends are you talking about profile fields for the user browsing the thread? If so then you can use $bbuserinfo[fieldX] in the templates.

[JohnnyBGood]

In this case it is to set custom messages for the user logged in. Specifically for the 'Welcome Header' mod.

$bbuserinfo[fieldX] will work fine.
