What style are we all using?

[Gary King]

NOTE: Make sure all your styles have different display orders (only if they are in the same grouping). For instance, don't have 2 styles each with the display order of '1' otherwise this hack will just show 'Style: ' and no style shown.

This hack will show each users current selected style when viewing a post.
If you want to see how this looks, take a look at the screenshot attached.

The style system is a little more complex than the vBulletin 2 one, but it's still pretty simple and straightforward.

My apologies if this has already been released! I must also note that all of this code is original, meaning I made it all myself, I didn't look at someone else's code if anyone was wondering, so that we don't play the 'blame game' later on.

NOTE: For those who are wondering, this hack adds NO EXTRA QUERIES to your pages! Meaning the load and processing time are about the same as usual, they don't change much :)

Okay anyhow, here we go:

Instructions

Open includes/functions_showthread.php and find static $gotrank, $sigcache, $sigperms, $gotage, $month, $day, $year, $counter;
Above, add: global $stylechoosercache, $vbphrase;
Find eval('$retval = "' . fetch_template($maintemplatename) . '";');
Above add // check what style the user is viewing
if (!$post['styleid'])
{
$post['style'] = '(' . $vbphrase['not_specified'] . ')';
}
else
{
// loop thru the $stylechoosercache to see which style the user is using, has to loop thru a few times
foreach ($stylechoosercache as $parentstyle)
{
foreach ($parentstyle as $innerstyleid)
{
if ($innerstyleid[0]['styleid'] == $post['styleid'])
{
$post['style'] = '<a href="' . $vboptions['forumhome'] . '.php?' . $session['sessionurl'] . 'styleid=' . $post['styleid'] . '">' . $innerstyleid[0]['title'] . '</a>';
continue;
}
}
}
}


Open the postbit template (or postbit_legacy if you're using old-style postbits) and find <div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon]</div>
Above, add <!-- user forum style -->
<div>$vbphrase[style]: <if condition="$post[style] == '$vbphrase[not_specified]'"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?styleid=$vboptions[styleid]">Default Style</a><else />$post[style]</if></div>
<!-- / user forum style -->


Now add the following phrase:

Phrase Type: GLOBAL

Title: not_specified
Text: not specified

Title: style
Text: Style

All done! :)

[ryancooper]

Alright first install. . . I love this hack!

Thanks!! :)

[DarkJediKiller]

Looks good. Excellent job ^_^

[Mr. Brian]

Well done!

BTW, is there any way that could be able to made that as a link? Whereby user can click on it ? Exactly like what Vb.org having now.

thanks

Ok :) It does not work with childstyles though :( How to do this?

You need the phrases to add.

It works for me using child styles :) Show me a screenshot of the style manager so I can see all your styles and childs, etc.

[ryancooper]

The phrase is definatly there. jsut tryed to add it again and got There is already a phrase named 'not_specified'. You may not create duplicate names

there is only 1 phrase correct?

Any other ideas?

vb.org is using the quick and dirty way, like i call it.
the Style part is not generated, but it's a big if condition test in postbit, (as it was done during the Beta when we didn't want to hack where not needed)

with global $stylechoosercache, $vbphrase;

Just make one parent style and then you only need to modify one template and it will affect all styles ;)

[Mike_XBLW]

Hmm, going slightly off-topic here but....

How does that work if another style has slight changes in the hacks.. for example take vb.org here.. I noticed that the green style uses w ared /me line while the blue style has a yellow line

It still works fine if a style has changes :) This hack basically doesn't even know (and care) whether or not a style has changes or not :)

[Vivi Ornitier]

Ya this isn't working properly i think.

It says

Style:

But for some users, it will show the style for them because they choose a certain style which is the forum's default one that I specified in the vboptions. If they choose another style (not child of any style), it will not show it properly.

Hmm most likely something wrong with the not_specified phrase then.

Replace $post['style'] = '(' . $vbphrase['not_specified'] . ')'; with $post['style'] = '(not specified)'; and tell me if that fixes it.

[Vivi Ornitier]

no that didn't fix it,

some people have

Style: (not specified)

Some people have

Style: XXXXXXXX

Some peopel just straight up have

Style:

and that's it, lol. I don't understand this hack at all


www.squareultima.com if you wanna take a look at it. The Green style is the original style and the default one and if people choose that style, it will work nice and dandy but if you choose any others, it doesn't show up at all, very odd.

[Vb-Hispano]

It does not work with dependent styles

[Gary King]

It does not work with dependent styles
Works for me for dependant styles.

[Vivi Ornitier]

something is most definitely wrong wiht the code in this hack. I installed it again and the exact same results, it's not even that confusing to instlal.

[Mike_XBLW]

Perhaps, you could tell me why it's not working for mine....I copied the code and installed as your instructions...but, yet...not working :(

[Dart1337]

Well... I thought it was working for me. Then I started getting the "Style: " problem too.

* Dart1337 clicks uninstall for now.

[Mike_XBLW]

OK...for everyone who is having the "Style:" problem...here's the fix...

In the style manager...display order, make sure they don't all have the same number...actually number them 1, 2, 3, 4, etc....

I had all of mine set to 1, but when I changed it, magically, it started working

How do we count each style have many users used it?

[Gary King]

How do we count each style have many users used it?
That's somewhat a new hack altogether; although if you know how to code it yourself, here's a query to get you started:

SELECT styleid, COUNT(styleid) AS count FROM user GROUP BY styleid

[lazserus]

For some reason this is not working for me. I'm not getting any errors, but nothing happens. It's weird. It's simple enough and I followed the directions to the T. Yet, the style doesn't show up at all.

I tried to post a screenshot, but the server kept getting reset. It's not really necessary, though. Imagine what your board looks like w/o this hack installed and you've got my problem. I've got the hack installed, but nothing has changed.

If you're using old style postbits, then modify postbit_legacy instead of the postbit template

[lazserus]

You know what, that must be it! I am using legacy and I didn't even put it together. Thanks! :surprised:

[lazserus]

This is working just like it was designed and I love it. I have one question, however. Is there a way to make is to that someone who uses "Forum Default" is not classified as "unspecified"? Say if the forum default style is called "Bob" and the standard user just uses the forum default -- is there some kind of if condition that could be put in place that would point it to whichever style is the forum default? I hope I'm making sense. So, if user Joe is using forum default the postbit would display "Bob" instead of unspecified.

Also, what does it mean if the Style: is blank? I apologize if this has all been mentioned before in this thread. I thought I read everything, I swear. :nervous:

Okay I have made some important changes to the hack now. What you suggested is now a default part of the hack.

Also, the Style: being blank is explained in first post (it's in red.)

[lazserus]

You are now a holy man in my book. That's so cool of you to do. I apologize for neglecting what you said in post #1, I hadn't read that one in a few days.

This is kind of an addition to Barbeque's question about the color - is there a way to define the color? All my styles display it in red, but it doesn't show up as well in red with certain backgrounds.

[KamuiX]

Working beautifully for me, Gary. Awesome hack and easy to install, thanks! :D

*clicks install*

[lazserus]

Display what in red?
Sorry, I was a bit vague. The text output is red. While in the Dark Blue style on vB.org is yellow, all of my styles default to red.

So, what I'm asking is if there's a way to customize the color of the ./me text?

[Gary King]

Oh; that has nothing to do with this hack. Anyways, try asking in its appropriate support thread.

[Dan P.]

Ok..this is a stupid question but it's driving me crazy. Where is the Open includes/functions_showthread.php ? Is it in the template manager or on the server itself. I found a showthread.php on the server but that didn't have the text to replace in there and I couldn't find it in the template section.

[Gary King]

It's in the server, in the includes folder.

[Dan P.]

Thanks Gary, for the help and the hack.

[Dan P.]

Ok..I installed the hack and it shows - Style: ()

[dutchbb]

thanks but:

why does it show "Default Style" for some members and for others just the name of the default style??

Can this be changed?

And for some it shows no style at all?

ps: another prob: when I choose a style wich is not default I see "(not specified)" in users postbit who have choosen the default style.

So still some work to do with the default style for this hack I think.

[Red Blaze]

If you get sytle: not specifed or something like go, go to your user cp, under options (I think) scroll all the way to the bottom, it should say "Forum Skin". Choose one of the skins, and save it.

Reason I believe it says Style not specified is because the database couldn't recognize it yet or something. So I believe you have to tell the database what style you're using.

[dutchbb]

You are right all problems I said are solved if all users choose anything accept "default"

But isn't there a better way to solve this?

[Dan P.]

It is the default that is causing the problem. All other members who chose different skins are showing up but those with the default are just showing ().

EDIT- Well, I'm a knoob :) I saw Gary's post #33 which explains what to do. I made the change and it shows up correctly.

[007]

The way to fix this is to make it so when a user selects a style in the quick dropdown menu on all pages, their selection would be saved in their user info. Otherwise it is just stored with a cookie. Regardless of whether or not someone has say "Default" or "Style A" selected in their UserCP, the hack will not show anything that they select in the dropdown menu. I think making the dropdown menu change the users style the same way it does in the UserCP is the next step for this hack, as that seems to be the problem.

Please fix. :)

Great hack installed it now thnx

one problem.. it will (as suppoed) work with chosen style in usercp (from profile) but if the user changes style from within the forum (quick style chooser) it will not reflect on this hack, the hack will still show whats in the profile !!!

I hope it can read from elsewhere instead.. I am working on that

[Big Kahuna]

I installed this a month or so ago -- and it worked great until last night when I installed the the avatar_opacity hack.

It appears that both hacks use style as a varible in addition to it also appearing to be a command. The avatar_opacity hack must define the style variable last as it works while the style a member uses is now left blank.

I tried to figure out how to rename the variable in this hack to once again display the style a member uses -- but I'm completely lost.

Please help.

Thanx

[Big Kahuna]

Please disregard the above -- I think I may have found my problem

My Bad

[Big Kahuna]

When I started retracing my steps -- I saw that I modified the version of the functions_showthread.php that was just prior to this hack. Rookie mistake that I seldom make. I try real hard to keep all of my programs in snyc -- but dropped the ball on this one.

Anyway -- so that everyone knows, this hack works great and I do not have a compatability issue. Thanx again for this hack.

It can be seen at www.moparstyle.com

BTW -- if anyone ever figures out how to make the style chooser save to the user's CP and not just as a cookie -- post it here as I'd like to really know what styles the users use.

[weitalia]

Great hack mister! But I want ask is there a way to make the changing of dropdown menu un the bottom left of the forum update the usercp forum skin info?
Thanx in advance and congratulations for the hack ;)

[Mr. Christopher]

I've installed it at www.nothingland.com and while it seems to be working most of the time, I have a small handful of users with a blank "Style:" even though other people with the exact same settings show "Style: (not specified)". The styles are all numbered properly in my Admin CP so that can't be it. Any suggestions? And please be polite, as I am a delicate and beautiful snowflake. ;)

[Genschi]

Thanks ! Nice job :)

[Genschi]

Is there an solution, for the hack auto detect the style ? Example, here, on vbulletin.org, in my postbit there is marked "Style: Smooth Blue" but, I use the Dark blue skin :\ !
The only way to change this, is to modify my option in the usercp, but the style, maydetect automatically, it will be very nice :) !

Thanks !

[SlaPPiE]

Nice job with the hack, but I would like to know how one would go about to make the information available to insert into the MEMBERINFO template, as I'd find it more logical to place this sort of information into someone's more detailed information instead of in the postbit, where minimal user info is shown.

[blubber12]

mmm I already did that...it doesn't work *shrug*
Make sure that you have the style ID numbers correct, not the order of the styles. Style X might be number 1 on your board, but it's ID could be number 20.

[Glenn379]

I never wouldn've used it.. but I found use for it on my new forum :) good job

[kirupa]

Ok - after upgrading to 3.03, when users use the default style, all they see is ( ) on http://www.kirupaforum.com

Do others have that issue with having a default style selected in vBulletin 3.03?

Great hack!

Thanks alot :)

[lazserus]

Does this hack have problems with vB 3.0.3? I just upgraded and the upgrade destroyed this hack. I get the Skin: but not a single person on the forums is actually displaying the skin. At first I thought it was just unspecified users having this problem, but apparently now everyone's skin listing is blank. My styles all have unique display orders. The hack was working beautifully until I upgraded. Just in case, I went back step-by-step and re-added the hack and it's still not working. :ermm:

I loved this thing!

[italks]

i made all changes and i was about to add the phrase but there is a new problem i cant log in to AdminCP.now please help.

[FiX]

Cool Hack.

Seems to half work with me.

It shows most of the styles, but some times it only displays "Style: ()"

Example: http://81.169.188.232/web/united-forum.de/showthread.php?p=600086

Only a few Styles (not the default style) are shown correct.

What did I do wrong? thx for your help.
edit: never mind, thanks.

[M?uschen]

Nice Hack....

But can the style show without an link to the style of the user?

Now:
Style: vB3 Grey (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/index.php?styleid=12)

I want only:
Style: vB3 Grey

How can i do this?

Thanks M?uschen.

[mholtum]

As you can see by the attatched images, something is wrong.

When I went into AdminCP / Languages & Phrases /
1: Add New Phrase
2: Phrase Type : GLOBAL
3: Varname : style
4: Text: Style

So, what did I do wrong?

[Milktruck]

Easy to set up and very useful. *clicks install*

I would be interested in what the others are:

1) A way to see the number of users using style 1 and style 2, 3, 4 and so on.

2) A way for the Quick Style Chooser to report to the UserCP.

Thank you as always.

Hi, is there this hack for vBulletin 2.3.4???

I'm looking for it, but i don't seem to find it

Anyone can help?

[Spookysalem]

could some one just explain the phrases thing a little more for me please...i have found the section but i am lost.

Varname --- what do i put in the box next to this.

[weaver]

Is it only supposed to have the style you've chosen through the user cp? If you change your style using the drop down menu at the bottom of the page then it doesn't accurately show which style you're using. Is it supposed to do that?

[blubber12]

Yes, as the ones you choose in the drop down are really just temporary. It's basically a way to see what styles are being used. If you choose different ones a lot, it doesn't report that. Maybe it will one day.

[blubber12]

you put the word style in the varname and the word Style in the text.

[Spookysalem]

Because you probably changed via the "Quick Style Chooser" for it to show up in your posts you have to go to User CP -> Edit Options and change it there.

[attroll]

Well that stinks that is does not work and save when using the Quick Style Chooser. If I use the Quick Style Chooser and change my style and log off and when I log back in it picks up the style I changed to using the Quick Style Chooser from my last seasion. So I can not understand why it does this but does not change in my USERCP? Most users do not go through their ADMINCP to change or set there Style.

[maddawg138]

Because you probably changed via the "Quick Style Chooser" for it to show up in your posts you have to go to User CP -> Edit Options and change it there.
well that worked thanks...i just dont understand why it wouldnt change on the user cp as well

[deb0]

I noticed a 'bug' if I may call it that.

If you set your preferred style in your profile, it reflect that style. But if you use the style chooser to select a different one, it doesn't reflect that selection. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks for the reply. I like a lot of the suggestions that have been made in the thread. Maybe they'll be implemented someday. :)



Yes, as the ones you choose in the drop down are really just temporary. It's basically a way to see what styles are being used. If you choose different ones a lot, it doesn't report that. Maybe it will one day.

I installed this hack and it worked good. I only have one style and I changed something in my usercp -> options (where the style chooser would be) and no it just shows up not specified. The only way to have it show up again is to create a new style for the time being so I have a different style to choose then go to my usercp and select the style and then it shows up again. Cause if you only have one style the style chooser don't show up.

Great Hack! Big THX!

Need help..

I am finding a hard time locating this : includes/functions_showthread.php , to start with adding the codes.

can anyone tell me in detail where it is?

thanks in advance

[Nabs]

never mind.. i figured it out. :p

[between worlds]

Ok I did everything as said but its not showing up for me. Could it be because my forums are in linear mode? Its a brand new board so I'm still working on getting everything added. And this is my first hack that I've installed so it could be something I've done wrong.

Example of the only things that are showing up are attached. Any help is appreciated. thanks.

So is there a way to force a user to sue a selected style so you don't see the Style: ?

[mp3dreaming]

Maybe old, but definatly a good one... :d

place the above in your forumhome template and you'll have a working quick style chooser ;)

thanks for the hack!

How would we go about changing this code to add it to a person's profile?

[neocorteqz]

How would we go about changing this code to add it to a person's profile? add it somewhere in the memberinfo template.

this code, the phrases are global so you can use it anywhere.

<!-- user forum style -->
<div>$vbphrase[style]: <if condition="$post[style] == '$vbphrase[not_specified]'"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?styleid=$vboptions[styleid]">Default Style</a><else />$post[style]</if></div>
<!-- / user forum style -->

[Gizmo99]

DONT USE THE HTML POSTED BY dtsrules it turns off your PM's in your profile !!!

This is a good hack, BUT as loads of peeps have asked, it needs to read the Quick Style Chooser, Pritty Please

[nautiqeman]

I see that there's a realstyleid which is the one that the Quick Style Chooser uses -- but how can we get the name of the style by using the id??

[boiboi]

installed it but most users style displays (style not specified) can someone post an sql query on how to change everyone's style? thanks

[ogden2k]

This is a nice hack, but this only displays properly if the style is chosen in the User CP...

[Guy G]

Getting

style: (not specified)

on 3.0.6

anyone know how to fix it ?

EDIT: It works... but on from the user-cp selection like the post above me said...

[Sin City]

just wondering if there was any update on someone making this work with the quick style chooser

[Acers]

hmm any updates ??
How to make it work with the style chooser?

[EscortCossie]

I can't seem to get the quick style chooser problem solved.

Could anyone please tell me what to do in a step-by-step guide? Thanks

[Vampyre]

Thanks, Gary King. :)

[Snake]

would be sweet to see that fixed... and yes, it does work with vBulletin Version 3.0.7

[Silmarillion]

The functions_showthread.php doesn`t exist anymore in vB3.5.
Where do I have to add the text now?

[lewisbeech]

why does it only say Style: (not specified)
i thought it is supposed to tell you what style you are using.

[lewisbeech]

*bump*

[Snake]

Nice move. :D

[Datenpapst]

why does it only say Style: (not specified)
i thought it is supposed to tell you what style you are using.

also thought this... Where can I specify which Style I am using? :o

[Clayton]

This may sound crazy

However, I can't seem to find this:

static $gotrank, $sigcache, $sigperms, $gotage, $month, $day, $year, $counter;

Have I missed something?

Thank you

search static then, it is there.

it will, only if the user specifies through user cp.

If you haven't already, you'll need to number each of your styles in order in your admincp (1, 2, 3, etc.) :)

[Edison Chen]

It shows not specified since the user has selected the default style as his/her style in the user options. ;)

Now... There is a way to remove it very easily and display Default Style instead... Just a small error. You see, in the postbit, the if conditional it says: == '$vbphrase[not_specified]' while in the file you edited in: '(' . $vbphrase['not_specified'] . ')' Duh! They don't match ;).

What I suggest is....

Change this (in includes/functions_showthread.php):
// check what style the user is viewing
if (!$post['styleid'])
{
$post['style'] = '(' . $vbphrase['not_specified'] . ')';
}

Into this:
// check what style the user is viewing
if (!$post['styleid'])
{
$post['style'] = 'default';
}


Change (in your postbit or postbit_legacy):

<!-- user forum style -->
<div>$vbphrase[style]: <if condition="$post[style] == '$vbphrase[not_specified]'"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?styleid=$vboptions[styleid]">Default Style</a><else />$post[style]</if></div>
<!-- / user forum style -->


Into:
<!-- user forum style -->
<div>$vbphrase[style]: <if condition="$post[style] == 'default'"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?styleid=$vboptions[styleid]">Default Style</a><else />$post[style]</if></div>
<!-- / user forum style -->


Now, with this you do not have to add 'not specified' to the phrases. :) I mean, after all - the Default Style will be displayed, not the phrase or word that was put in the PHP as... ah, I'll shut up :p.

[michaelbenson]

Will this be converted to vBulletin 3.5 ?

[Snake]

It works on 3.5 Gold just fine. :)
