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.

I figured it'd be pretty much as you just described, with the adding the fields to the user table. I'm new to PHP scripting.

Well, there is very little php code you'd need to do actually, I'd say maybe 3-4 lines tops.
