Is there a way I can give users the ability to enable or disable topic preview in their edit profile page?

yah, with a small modification

1. add a custom field ( there are 5 available )
2. modify scripts/postlist.inc.php to check that field and show / not shop tooltip

This is a far as I've gotten:



But it's not working correctly...

I have gotten the option to appear in My Stuff/Edit Profile, but could you tell me how to modify the postlist.inc.php to refer to that custom function tooltip, so it actually works?

1. You don't need to modify a template at all.
2. Just go into Registration settings / Registration screen and set the Custom field prompt ( example picture below )



I set it to hide and that really just HIDES it only @ registration, but because I fill it in, then it will always now show when they edit their PROFILE.

Then the only modification to do is in scripts/postlist.inc.php

On line 43 ( approx ), add the extra field to the list of fields to retrieve for each user:

"user_fields" => "t2.USER_TOPIC_VIEW_TYPE, t2.USER_TOPICS_PER_PAGE, t2.USER_POSTS_PER_TOPIC,USER_EXTRA_FIELD_1",

Then around line 837 you will see:


change that to this:


this will allow the user to edit their profile and put 1 to enable the tooltip or 0 to not have it.

Then you make the board to always show it by default, but allow users to turn it off in their profile
