[SOLVED] Delimiter and multiselect field output

hello

I have a multiselect field with some items and I would like output value of this field using a delimiter field.

When I do that I noticed the output display look like this:

Item1|*|Item2|*|Item3

and I would like get this format:

Item1, Item2, Item3

No matter what kind of "Display on profiles as" options I choose (comma or list) for my multiselect field because the delimiter output don't change.

any suggestion?

[FIELD_NAME] is always raw output. You need to use the below type of substitution.

[cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /]

Please see the below tutorial for further substitution usage information.

sorry to re-open this topic but I still get problem with this.

When I use [cb:userfield field="cb_mymultiselect" /] nothing is displayed and the fact to use a delimiter don't change nothing. The only way seem to use [cb_mymultiselect] but as I say the result look like:

Item1|*|Item2|*|Item3

instead to:

Item1, Item2, Item3.

A bug ?

Not a bug, but an access issue. The field needs to be on a public and published tab and the field also needs to be set to display on profile. That's the only way for formatted output to be publicly substituted. If you've CB Privacy or CB Conditional configured for it then it can also cause the formatted output to hide. The easiest test to see if it'll substitute publicly is navigate to a profile and see if you can see the field there.

yes you right..the field was in a tab set for Special Access level. This is annoying and I don't see how to solve this issue. In fact fields inside this tab are planned for be edited only by SuperAdmin but I need to display publicly some field value.

So I can without problem display value for all other fields using [cb_myfield] except for this select-field where is required to use [cb:userfield field="cb_mymultiselect" /] for formatting constraint.

That's the only way for formatted output to be publicly substituted.

You have really not another way ?

In fact fields inside this tab are planned for be edited only by SuperAdmin but I need to display publicly some field value.

You can use CB Privacy and disable the tabs edit display except for Moderators as it has a feature specifically to do this. This way profile edit is limited to Moderators and frontend view is still completely public. If you don't want the fields displayed on profile, but still need them public you can then move the tab to a not shown on profile tab position.
