[Shazz]

[iran.gs]

installed and looks great but !!! my style show members name as been online or off line in text so nick names which are too long are going to the right of the post any solution ?

u see when i say its in text rather than gif.
cyberghost101 is offline << this is so long it breaks the forum so how do u convert it to gif rather than text ?

[Shazz]

That would be part of your skin. You mean as a example on vB.org in the left hand corner?

[pedroenf]

[Breathex]

if postbit_legacy had some edits before? than this one does not work, am i right?

i would prefer to see a product with an editable admin cp menu

[eNforce]

Hi there, great mod.

I have a question!

The posts on my forum alternate between two colours. Would it be possible to have the background color of the 'pbit' alternate colors as well? So that if the post is a light color, the pbit background would be a dark color and vice versa?

Yes, That I could make a custom one for you if you want :)
Contact me on a instant messenger or PM for more details. The zip i have attached might cause errors, Im really trying to get a Working updated one on..

+1.

Just setting up a board and I found the same thing... had to turf it until I figure out what's causing the problem.

I also found that with this at the top:

<!-- post #$post[postid] -->
<if condition="$show['spacer']">
$spacer_open
<div id="edit$post[postid]" style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px">
<if condition="!$post['islastshown']"><!-- this is not the last post shown on the page --></if>
</if>

The postbit and message columns shrunk to <100%.

Any ideas would be great as the postbit does look a lot better w/this template. I'm new to vbulletin and while I've figured out how to move some stuff around its hard to decipher everything the template is doing.

Thanks!


Edit to add: upgraded to 3.6.2 this morning... dunno if that's helping/harming things at all but everything else is working spiffy.

[DaNIEL MeNTED]

Think I figured it out - there's a duplicate bit of code @ the bottom of the template:


<if condition="$show['spacer']">
</div>
$spacer_close
</if>
<!-- / post #$post[postid] -->

<if condition="$show['spacer']">
</div>
$spacer_close
</if>

But there's only 1 instance opening a div at the top:

<!-- post #$post[postid] -->
<if condition="$show['spacer']">
$spacer_open
<div id="edit$post[postid]" style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px">
<if condition="!$post['islastshown']"><!-- this is not the last post shown on the page --></if>
</if>

So... removing the duplicate from the bottom fixes the inability to multi-quote beyond the first post, and also fixes the quick reply button.

I'm not 100% sure what the $spacer_open part of the code is supposed to accomplish - I find if its there at all the size of the postbit+post - shrinks.

I'm guessing maybe there's a spacer variable defined somewhere?

In any case... this is a great starting point.

Thanks Shazz!

[Stromba]

:o

Have problems with the size (see attachment )..
Can you please help me with this :ermm:

[Orcun]

Needs update for 3.6.3.
Reputation displays in the old fashion way.

*Clicks Install

[flindersredclaw]

mmm not right for 3.6.3 may need some editing as suggested above. However, I have no idea how to change it...

[DrewzR/T]

OK got this to work but as stated by stromba mine doesnt line up either!

[krazycivik]

ok i dont see where to put this bit bettere xplanation for noobs pls :) can it go on 3.6.2?

[Quelyn]

I want to install this because it looks pretty awesome, however I cannot. When I do it borks my forum. I uploaded an attachment of what it looks like. I'm not to keen on the way the border shows up or how it resizes everything. Also what would have to remove to just remove to donate & belts parts. I don't want to remove anything important :)

Thanks!

[chkdgate]

For those of you you are having problems with the width of posts follow this post:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1091034&postcount=29

Just removing the extra $show_spacer section of code did the trick for me.

:edit:

I just updated to 3.6.8 and this product is still working.

[ndut]

is there any update for this mod? for ver. 3.6.8?
thanks

[TCE Killa]

I've tried this on 3.6.8, it doesn't work properly, is this being updated to 3.6.8? Thanks.
