Hmm, works fine for me on gold no matter if legacy is default or not?

The default Code of this Hack causes additional queries due to uncached Templates.

another question about this. the code you recommend to use in the link above. is the caching done because of the code change or is it because of the hook it belongs to?

as it is now...it works great. when i add the add on, using the option to switch postbits (in the thread display mode menu) doesnt change the postbit. rather...it does, but it requires a refresh after clicking the option. if i use the code in the post you linked to...but change the hook to postbit_display_complete the refresh is no longer required and using the thread display mode menu option changes the postbit accordingly.

i guess what im trying to figure out is...are the additional queries you refer to being caused because of the hook used or the code used...

If anyone with spare time wants to take over this hack's support and functioning please let me know. I'll give you full credit to this hack and if the vb mods want to they can switch the thread starter via the database.

I just don't have time to update this at the moment. Too many things going on in my life.

Ok Andreas...the code below is the correct code to use to not get those additional queries, is that right? I just want to be sure, cause it works just fine :)

Kinda new to plugins, installed a few in the past but I got an error message that I never saw before when installing this one...

Quote:

This file appears to be a Plugin, not a Product. Please use the Plugin Manager to add this file.

Is this right?

I went into the Plugin Manager and went to add it that way, but it asked me for information that I do not know, such as Hook Location.

Again, I am new to this so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does this plugin have the fixes stated above already included?

Don't worry, we all have to start somewhere.. :)

Basically, there are 2 different plugin types. Products and Plugins.
Products contain plugins, and are generally used for larger mods. They can also install templates, phrases and settings automatically. Plugins don't do any of that, and simply add code in to vBulletin's hooks (as opposed to editing the source code)..

Since this is a plugin, we need to upload it as one.
Admin CP -> Plugin System -> Download / Upload Plugins -> Import Plugin Definitions XML File

No, they need to be applied yourself.. Although it's a relatively easy job.

I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but this plugin makes my forum act strange with deleted posts. Usually, when posts are soft-deleted, they take on the appropriate template. With this, it's just a blank postbit template for soft-deleted posts. So I've had to disable this plugin, for now.

Any way to make this admin selectable for certain user groups only?

Oh, and uh...Oblivion Knight: I forgot to thank you for the basic info. Worked like a charm! :)

Is this working on 3.5.4?

I have it on my 3.5.4 board and it seems to be fine.

It's not working for me at all i am not new to applying mods. Maybe it is just a setting wrong, idk. It keeps staying at horizontal no matter what i set it at.

Did you set your profile field number correctly? Go to your plugins, edit the plugin that belongs to the postbit selection thingie, and check the profile number. If the number doesn't match the one you have, that's your problem.

Also, if that's not the case, check the value of the radio buttons. That also must match what you have in the plugin.

It all checks out correct, i think it's a conflict with something else, only thing it can be, i will look around and see.

Is there any easy way to make this selectable only by certain user groups?

Well, nothings happening. My admin user's field6 is 'horizontal postbit'. Here's the code:

PHP Code:


		
			
global $vbulletin;

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field6'] == "Vertical Postbit (Legacy)")

{

$vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 1;

}

else if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field6'] == "Horizontal Postbit")

{

$vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 0;

}

Our 3.5.3(with plugin security patch) is set to legacy by default.

Nothing happens.

welo	03-11-2006 06:27 AM

Try this:

Code:

global $vbulletin;

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field6'] == 'Vertical Postbit (Legacy)')

        $this->templatename = 'postbit_legacy';

$vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 1;

else if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field6'] == 'Horizontal Postbit')

        $this->templatename = 'postbit';

You might want to reconsider those radio button labels though. Who except a VB geek is going to know what they mean?

It doesn't work in my forum too, i've this Code in the Plugin System:

Code:

$fieldname = 'field8';



if ($_GET['postbit'] == 'Left') {

    $db->query('UPDATE ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'userfield SET ' . $fieldname .' = \'Vertical Postbit\' WHERE userid=' . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);

    $vbulletin->userinfo['field8'] = 'Vertical Postbit';

}



if ($_GET['postbit'] == 'Top') {

    $db->query('UPDATE ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'userfield SET ' . $fieldname .' = \'Horizontal Postbit\' WHERE userid=' . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);

    $vbulletin->userinfo['field8'] = 'Horizontal Postbit';

}

The other codes in this Thread doesn't work after all.

My field nr is 8, i've vb 3.5.4. I can choose between the two options but nothing happens...

Can anyone help me ?_?

How. I can't get this to work at all :( Legacy is my default, I notice your forum has this as default as well.

What code are you using? I am using:

Code:

global $vbulletin;

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field19'] == "Vertical Postbit (Legacy)")

{

$vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 1;

}

else if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field19'] == "Horizontal Postbit")

{

$vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 0;

}

The posts and replies are too difficult to follow here.

Has anyone actually gotten this, or something similar, to work if you have the legacy postbit option set on in your admincp?

I want the legacy postbit to be the default for guests and all new registrations. Therefore, I have to keep this set. If not, it usese the new postbit, which I dislike but want users to select if they wish.

Basically I want the entire thing to work backwards.

I would just paste the legacy into postbit and postbit into legacy, but there are users who have selected their option and this would create a mess.

How to get this working with EITHER postbit or postbit_legacy as default.

Move the plugin to use the hook cache_templates, and replace the code with:

Code:

global $vbulletin;

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field5'] != 'Use Forum Default')

{

        if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field5'] == 'Horizontal Postbit')

        {

                $vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 0;

        }

        elseif ($vbulletin->userinfo['field5'] == 'Vertical Postbit (Legacy)')

        {

                $vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 1;

        }

}

Add an additional option to the custom profile field at the TOP of the list, "Use Forum Default".

This should work on both 3.5.x and 3.6.x setups.. :)

Can someone explain this in a "step-by-step guide for the complete idiot" kind of way, please? :)
