Afternoon,

I was recently browsing a forum and noticed some advanced registration options. I am not sure if they're custom made or not - but they seem it.

One advanced option is:
Where would you like to have the user information displayed in posts?
Options: Top & Left (I am assuming this means postbit/postbit legacy)

Another is:
Would you like notifications to appear in the Private Messages area? If no, you will only be informed of unread Private Messages.
Options: Yes & No. (I am not sure of the nature of this)

Anyone have any input on these? Would they require SQL inputs or is there a conditional statement for these?

They could probably be done with Custom Profile Fields and conditional statements. However a plugin is usually used for custom postbit. A few addons have been released for that over the different vBulletin versions.

Thanks for your reply Wayne.
I will look into the plugin for custom postbit based on registration fields - however if you have any input on how I'd go about doing this (i.e. the code for postbit) I'd appreciate it.

In regards to my second option:
[quote]Would you like notifications to appear in the Private Messages area? If no, you will only be informed of unread Private Messages.
Options: Yes & No. (I am not sure of the nature of this)[/qupte]

I think this option defines whether to be notified of everything (visitor messages/private messages/friend requests) or just private messages. Have you any idea on how I could accomplish this.

Any help is appreciated.
