Hi,
I have created a chained menu to replace 'profile_location' but i am having difficulties with getting it to display. The new function is called profile_hometown but when i add the following codes
{$item.profile_hometown} nothing is displayed.

The file i am editing is the profile_info.tpl

thanks again.

not enough info to get a full picture of what you're trying to do.

Docs: "Chained Select"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/1753/chained-select

Perhaps you could tell us which part of the docs need some extra explaining. That will help make that page more useful to everyone.

Thanks :)

i get the video i have watched it a few time, my problem is displaying the chained menu output in the info section of the profile page. {$item.profile_hometown} dose not work. Since a chained menu displays multiple values would i need to add more codes ?

'profile_hometown' is the overall name of the field. To get individual elements of the chain use {$item.profile_hometown_0}, {$item.profile_hometown_1} etc.
Tip - Temporarily put a {debug} in your template to see all variables available to the template.

When you are using a profile template the variables are available directly.
Glad you're sorted. Marking this thread as solved.
