If you're paying attention to migration.txt, you'll see that you'll need to upgrade your macros prior to upgrading to 6.8.x+
This is the painless upgrade: drop this on top of the other User1.pm.
It goes in WebGUI/lib/WebGUI/Macro/
If
haven't already done so, you'll need to change your .conf to accomodate
this macro (add something like User1 => User1, \ in the macros
section of your .conf)
What does it do? It allows you to pull a visible field from a (not the current user) user's profile.
What
is it useful for? Anything that would list other users. A CS
might use it in its templates to list, if available, the IM methods
allowed by a user. You might use it to provide a real name, or anything
else that is in the user's profile that would normally be seen if you
clicked on the user name.
How do you use it? /\User1(profileFieldName,userId);
Please let me know your findings.
