Directions

First download
Add additional_css.css to all your pages (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228628)

Then..

Open up your additional_css.css file
Admin cp > Styles & Templates > Style Manager >Edit Templates > additional_css.css and add the following:


.pbit {
padding: 3px 3px 3px 3px;
background-color: #option;
border-top: 1px solid #dadada;
border-right: 2px solid #dadada;
border-left: 1px solid #dadada;
border-bottom: 2px solid #dadada;
margin-bottom: 3px;
}


Obviously edit the css to suit your needs.

Then open up your postbit_legacy template:

Admin cp > Styles & Templates > Style Manager >Edit Templates > Postbit > Postbit_legacy
and find things you want outlined.

<div class="pbit">code</div>

<div class="pbit"><span class="rank">{vb:raw post.rank}</span></div>

so basically everything gets a more defined border in postbit legacy style?

Yes,it's a way to add borders and/or a different style to certain elements of your postbit.

Why not make all the padding sizes as one line rather than the 4?

padding: 3px 4px 5px 6px;

First of all you'll want to change background-color: #option;
to a color,or even just leave that line out to use your current background color.

Secondly:
find
<span class="rank">{vb:raw post.rank}</span>
in your postbit_legacy template and add:
<div class="pbit">
before it,and:
</div>
after it.
Doing so will outline only your ranks.
Hope that helps.

Have just tried playing with this and can get the outline around most things.

How do I center the content within the outline sections like the avatar, username etc? And any idea how I can get the same effect around the Blog Entries line and any additional userfields (I have vMoods installed too)?

Thanks

I'll look into a more "in depth" version when I have some time.
cheers.

Yes.

Open up postbit.css template:
Admin cp > Styles & Templates > Style Manager >Edit Templates > CSS Templates> postbit.css and add the following:

Code:
.pbit {
padding: 3px 3px 3px 3px;
background-color: #option;
border-top: 1px solid #dadada;
border-right: 2px solid #dadada;
border-left: 1px solid #dadada;
border-bottom: 2px solid #dadada;
margin-bottom: 3px;
}


I had to do it this way; it wouldn't work any other way for me.

It's easy to outline the default profile fields but I can't seem to figure out how to outline the avatar and custom profile fields (fields from mods).

Please help me!

Also, When users don't have a location inserted it still shows the white border box. How to fix?

You would need to look at each template that uses a postbit feature in that mod you have used.

Country should have one as along with vbExperience etc.
