Thank you!

$spThisPostUser->cutomfieldslug was the solution to all the issues I'd been having. I've been able to finish my code and have it running as a custom function within my theme that acts as an extension of the existing profile identities . Here's a preview of it in action on my local install:

One other issue that I was able to address was the output of $spThisPostUser->cutomfieldslug being wrapped in <p></p> tags. In my custom function I used strip_tags to sanitize the variable so I could pass it as a tooltip for the custom images appearing below the avatar but also into a url so the images link to that member's profile on the appropriate gaming network.

So, the final function looks something like this:

function spSteam() {
global $spThisPost, $spThisPostUser;
$spThisPostUser->steamid = strip_tags($spThisPostUser->steamid);
if (!empty($spThisPostUser->steamid)) echo "<a id='steamid' class='steam-class game-id vtip spImg' href='http://steamcommunity.com/id/$spThisPostUser->steamid' title='$spThisPostUser->steamid on Steam'><img src='".SPTHEMEICONS."sp_Steam.png'/></a>";
}

Thanks everyone for the input, I'm delighted to finally have completed work on my first custom theme!
