Here is the version with cache put in. Without having your templates cached you were creating an extra 2 queries on the database. I also did the cache properlly so it only puts it into the cache when the template is shown.

Also note your mod shows up the users PM's and $post[username] does not work in private messages.

That makes 2 people that have that issue, out of 40 installs so far. I can't duplicate that problem with 3 different forum setups (1 default testbed, 1 live setup, and someone else's live setup).

[EDIT]

Oookkk.... for whatever reason, the bug is now showing up on my testbed's PM system. Maybe 3.7.1 caused it? Doesn't make any sense. Anyway, I'm working on a fix.

Aannndd.... it's stopped showing up in PMs by itself... oookkk...

Ok, I just set up a BRAND NEW test bed, and the dropdown does NOT show up in the PMs.

3.0.1 will be up tonight w/ the cache plugin provided by ssslippy, without the template cache for PMs, as I cannot duplicate this problem in a clean test bed. I'm gonna throw in another surprise as well :)

man! I'm sorry it's happening to others now, but I'm very happy to know that it's NOT just me...lol

Thanks for all of your work Wired! This mod should be standard on vbulletin...or at least they should make it standard and pay you lots of money for the rights.

:D

No problemo. Been busy ATM, so I appreciate ssslippy making a solution for the cached templates. Easier than I thought actually. v3.0.1 is now up, which also contains a possible fix for the PM issue.

to answer your question...I wouldn't mind the drop down in the PM template....but it's not a necessity.

Thanks again!

What was the fix applied to the PM issue? Does this require a template change?

Only some plugin code was changed. I take it you're wondering about the Manual template? No worries, I didn't change the version # on it, so it doesn't override the existing one. Didn't know that for sure actually until I installed it on my live site :)

Im not worried about it overwriting, what Im wondering is what code changes I need to make to my customized template to make it work.

If you check at the top, it does not list that this mod has manual template changes.

Well, if you want you can use the manual dropdown, but it's a template from me, not from Jelsoft, so it won't affect anything you already have set up.

Great mod Wired, compliments the extra profile fields/tab mod nicely.

Question. Where it shows the drop down menu with shaded blue box and white text, can this be modified ie; change shade colour/text colour ?

Many Thanks

INSTALLED

Yep, it's just standard CSS. You'd have to edit the templates.

Great. Sorted :up:

After install and filling my own extra fields with my pc specs, i can't see the dropdown menu.

EDIT: i found the problem -> vBExperience ;)

I see other members are having some issue's as well.
Some member's on my board have their extra info filled in & no dropdown appears.
Some have nothing filled in & the dropdown appears.

I am confused. Any idea's?

Code's not being copied correctly, or instructions aren't being completely followed. The code's pretty basic. It hasn't really changed in years.

I added it without flaw. It will only work on every other member. Not sure why, but it is.
I did not alter anything from the install.

This mod has no code in it for user IDs or user groups, so something else is interfering. Have you tried disabling all other plugins as a test?

I disabled all plugins, and enabled just yours. No difference.
I have 3 members that I know of that does not show their dropdown, even though
they added their info. Some members can not see other members drop downs.
Weird I know.

Oh, I know what it is. Did you keep in the conditional (as noted in the description above)?

I guess I need to read everything a lil closer.....that was it

Dear Wired1, thanks again for yet another great mod.

Please help me to diagnose why I cannot see the dropdown on my profile pages.

1. I cannot see it with either manual or auto plugin.

2. I cannot see in in either style (including default).

3. I removed the field5 conditional from Dropdown Call.

4. It's the first time that I install this mod in any version.

I do not mean to spam, but here is an actual profile page in case you need to look at it.

Thanks again and a lot.

Reading the first sentence of the description:

Sorry Wired1. Must have read your [very clear] description the way I wanted your MOD to be :)

Hello,

I've had this mod installed on www.thebrrrgh.net for a while now without issues and it appears on the front page which is vBAdvanced.

I started another forum www.wizard101central.com and although it appears just fine inside the site, it stubbornly refuses to show on my front page which is also vBAdvanced.

The code was copied directly out of the working site and placed in the same locations. I'm wondering what I could have missed. Any ideas where I could look?

Thank you in advance!!

J

Not a clue as it's not designed for that. However, looking at your sites, the one that it works w/ vBA on has vB 3.7.0, and the other one has 3.7.2.

Thanks fo taking a look. I really didn't think that would be a factor, but I guess I can accept that.

Thanks again

After you quick reply, your Posbit does not display. Minor details, but i thought I would point it out.

love the product, btw!!! :cool:

Yeah, anything AJAX hides it b/c of the way AJAX works. Refresh the page and it comes back.

I want to put this on the bottom of my post bit legacy and then have it go up when someone clicks it. How can i do this?

You would need to know which pre-existing vB hook you want and then edit the plugin to point to that hook. As for scrolling up, I'd guess you'd need to write custom javascript code for that. This mod is calling vB's dropdown function.

how can i get something to execute based on witch radio button they check or like what they select.

IE
two radio buttons
1) Red
2)Blue

now if they mark the red radio button then it executes one thing
and if it checks the blue one it executes something else

like:
if (field1=red) {
execute this
}

elseif (field1=blue){
execute this
}

else{
execute this
}


However how could i do that in a way that the templates would understand:confused:

Sorry, but that's got nothing to do with my mod. I'd suggest you post your own thread.

Hi, thank's for this fantastic mod, installed !!
I have a problem with the positioning of the menu, i would like to put it as in the image attached but i don't know what must be changed.
Can you help me, please? Thank's so much !!!

how can i change the style of viewing ?

You'd have to change the hook location in the Dropdown Automated / Manual plugin to one of the postbit hooks listed here:

Huh? Also, you are not listed as having this mod installed.

Is it possible to have more then 1 Dropdown? I would like to have 2 :-) (or even ... more :D)

oh sorry i've forgotten to check as installed and now it's OK! ;)

Hey Wired1,

This is a great mod as well as your mods related to the Profile Page and Tab. I have both of those installed and working on my v3.7.2.

For this one you have, I guess I'm not really understanding your instructions. Since I have the Page and Tab mods working, which means I have created the extra fields already, does this mean for the Manual part of this hack, to create the corresponding fields in the postbit template? Or can the Automatic one be used such that it ties directly to what I have already setup?

I was having a hard time figuring out how to DISABLE the Manual and ENABLE the Automatic. Kindly hold my hand, please?

FYI, my starting extra field is field6.

Edit: I found how to DISABLE/ENABLE...sheesh!!

I'm satisfied atm. :D

Thanks again for your creativity!

Manual is for changing the order of the fields, or tweaking the look, etc. Automatic does it in the field # order.
