Credit for the idea goes to Welshy2008 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=265951)(The edits and idea are closely matched to his Country Flags mod.)
This is my first attempt - any mistakes are mine....and mine alone....so if something is not right....remember we all started somewhere right?
This add on gives you a license plate selection from USA/Canada ONLY. Tested on VB 4.1.3 but should work well for other versions.
New and existing members can choose from a drop down menu in the user settings - edit profile where the license plate will appear in their postbit.
Instuctions:
Firstly Upload the "plates" folder to your forum root like this:
your style/images/buttons/
Example: www.yoursite.com/forum/images/buttons
If you use a custom skin then do this:
www.yoursite.com/forums/images/styles/"yourstyle"/buttons
In your admin control panel please do this:
User Profile Fields -> Add new User Profile -> Profile Field Type -> Single Selection Menu (From the drop down menu) - then enter the following fields. (Take note of the FIELD ID)
ADD New User Profile Field Single Selection Menu:
Title = Your License Plate
Description = Add your license plate to your profile.
Profile Field Category = (Uncategorized)
Options = Copy & Paste the Whole contents of the file attached below (OPTIONS)
Set Default = None
Display Order = You Select this (dependent on how many you already have)
Field Required = yes, at registration and profile updating
Field Editable by User = Yes
Private Field = No
Field Searchable on Members List = No
Show on Members List = Yes
Optional Input:
Allow user to input their own value for this option = No
Max length of allowed user input = 100
Field Length = 25
Regular Expression = Leave this Blank
Then, In your Admin Control Panel (ACP)...
ACP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> <<>> -> Postbit Templates -> select the template that you use (ie Postbit or Posbit_legacy) ? This is for the Postbit_Legacy?
Find:
<dl class="userinfo_extra"> (Custom template I had)
If you cannot find the above code then use this one:
<span class="usertitle">
{vb:raw post.usertitle}
</span>
Add this underneath - replacing XX with the Field ID you wrote down from above.
<!-- License plate Start -->
<div align="center">
<vb:if condition="$post['fieldXX']"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/plates/{vb:raw post.fieldXX}.jpg" alt="Users License plate" border="" /></vb:if>
</div>
<!-- License plate End -->
And that's it - Enjoy!
