I am using the module Profile Plus from magic x's site http://www.portalzine.de.

With that module, you can display user dynamic fields in the templates. Can you also add that feature to pagesetter? I would find it much easier if info can be pulled from the dynamic user info and if a user updates their info in their account setting, it gets automatically updated in pagesetter, without having to make change there manually.

since i also use pncuserhack for dynamiuc fields from http://dev.pnconcept.com, being able to show any dynamic field would be good also.

Magix x's profile plus can display fields from the pncuserhack.

Sounds interesting, but who's dyn.data do you want to show? The current users? Something like adding {$user.xxx} variables in the templates? This should be possible - the new use of PN .8's pnRender already includes a lot of PN specific stuff, so why not also add user data.

Could you give an example?

Should be done in the future using the pnusergetvar pnRender plugin, so there is no need to provide it through pagesetter's core.

Thanks, I was hoping for something like that.

How about namespaces for the various variables? Right now Pagesetter uses "$userFieldName" and "$core.coreFieldName" - but I suppose this may clash with PN's variables?

PN does not assign any varaibles to the template, so you are free to use whatever you like. It might be a good idea to group the assignments using associative arrays as you did with $core, but it isn't a must.

please replace the asteriks above with a-s-s (maybe you should not censor this word :P )

Dropped the censoring (not the first time it caused problems).

Hmmm ... it strikes me that user specific values are a bit difficult to handle when the output is cached. It's the same problem with hit counts and "edit this".

Shortly, pnRender will contain a nocache-Tag as described here.

Neat.
