[SOLVED] Alligning field horizontally in tab

If the field isn't set to display on profile, is protected by CB Privacy and the viewing user doesn't have access, or is conditioned by CB Conditional and the condition isn't met then it won't display when using [cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /] substitutions which fully respect access checks. [FIELD_NAME] pulls the value directly from the user object and does not respect access checks (note this is working as intended).

Kyle,

Ok, I understand what you are stating and it makes perfect sense, I would expect nothing less but, it appears that the code:

can be placed in a custom HTML field but that custom HTML field must be set to the tab that the above code will appear in!

Therefore, I can't use the [cb"user field......] in a custom HTML field that will be presented to the user in a tab other than the one it is set to appear in?
I wanted to present the [cb:userfield.....[ field in a table within a custom HTML field within a different tab from the tab that the {cb"user field.....[ but it appears it will not work.

Details:
Field name: cb_course_date
Type: date
Tab: Training Courses
Read only: No
Show on profile: Yes
Show on registration: No
Show on edit: Yes

Then I have:

Field name: cb_mandatory_courses
Type" Custom HTML
Tab: Mandatory Courses
Read only: No
Show on profile: Yes
Show on registration: No
Show on edit: Yes
Custom HTML: [cb:userfield field="cb_course_date" /]

I have double checked all the privacy and conditional settings, all are set to default.

Thank you for your help with this.

The Custom HTML field does not have to be on the same tab the field is on. The field just needs to be accessible for [cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /] to output it. If the tab it's on is unpublished or blocked by CB Conditional or CB Privacy then the field won't output as the tab that the field is on isn't accessible. The same applies to the field it self as all access checks are respected with [cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /] substitutions.

An easy way to make sure the field will substitute with [cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /] is just to move the tab to a tab position that's visible on profile. Now see if you can see the field. If you can't then [cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /] won't be able to display it either. If you can then move the tab back to a not shown on profile position and [cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /] should display it fine.

Kyle,

Wonderful, it's now working exactly as required, you are a star!

Thank you!
