I need to add user specific head/footer fields to the profile and implement that code in their posts. How do I do this?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those global values?

No, these are templates.

ALL FUDforum's HTML is inside templates, nothing is hardcoded.

I don't understand how I can make use of these templates on a user specific basis or use these templates to add the user editable fields into user profiles.

Simple, via the use of PHP code.

For example:

php_code: (header.inc.t)
if( _uid ) {
$special_header = mysql_query("Fetch some HTML code from MySQL");
} else {
$special_header = '';
}

template_code: (header.tmpl)
{TEMPLATE-DATA: special_header}

Hmmm...looking at the code within those two templates, those look more specific to whole pages. I think I would need something different for within a table, wouldn't I?

Just so I'm clear on what I want, here is a message board I post on and I would like to be able to incorporate the hack they used to make users posts unique.

Here is a link to my profile: http://www.thechurchboard.com/member.php?Action=viewprofile&username=nE VeRmOre

and here is a link to a post which shows off user posts: http://www.thechurchboard.com/viewtopic.php?TopicID=23354

Their software is a highly hacked version of tBoard, which I don't want to use. I've been looking for software which I could add the same type of hack to with minimal difficulty.

Well, you'd need to write a simular hack to FUDforum if you want that sort of functionality. The header/footer hack is fairly easy to do. Since all you'd need would be to add 2 extra fields into the users table and add code to header/footer to display them.

Pretty easy thing to do.
