Replace User's Online Status Image with Text Equivalent

[Alteran Ancient]

This is a pretty basic template change while will remove the online/offline status pips, and replace them with a Text status bar instead.

Edit the postbit_onlinestatus Template and replace the whole thing with:
<if condition="$onlinestatus==0"><div class="smallfont">Status: <font color="#BBBBBB"><b>Offline</b></font></div></if>
<if condition="$onlinestatus==1"><div class="smallfont">Status: <font color="green"><b>Online</b></font></div></if>
<if condition="$onlinestatus==2"><div class="smallfont">Status: <i><b>Invisible</b></i></div></if>


Remember, if you know what you're doing, you can replace the colours with ones that suit your forum's style.

Save that, then open the postbit or postbit_legacy Template (Whichever one you use.)

Find this and delete it:
$post[onlinestatus]

Then find:
<if condition="$show['reputation']">$post[reputationdisplay]</if>

Then add below:
$post[onlinestatus]


That's it, folks! Enjoy it, and the original idea came from Tony's vB3.0 mod.

Well, given it is simply text, I'd imagine viewing text stating your online, offline or invisible :).

It simply replaces the online/offline images vBulletin uses by standard with that of basic text.

<if condition="$show['reputation']">$post[reputationdisplay]</if>

this doesnt exist in 3.5.4 postbit templates

You can pretty much stick it where ever you want it to show up.

thank you

[Jarllax]

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. :)

Installed. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Kind of off-topic: Can you do the same thing with reputation?

Instead of showing the image, show the specific number.

just a FYI to all this does work on 3.7.3?

Here's updated code for 4.0

replace all code inside postbit_onlinestatus with:

Status:
<vb:if condition="$onlinestatus==0">

<span class="statusoffline">Offline</span>

<vb:elseif condition="$onlinestatus==1" />
<span class="statusonline">Online</span>

<vb:elseif condition="$onlinestatus==2" />
<span class="statusinvisible">Invisible</span>

</vb:if>


And use this Variable wherever you wish for this condition to appear.

{vb:raw post.onlinestatus}
