Postbit Toggle in User CP
 
Postbit Toggle in User CP

This hack was originally inspired by an old hack providing similar functions created by Darth Cow. It creates a toggle option in the User CP to determine which postbit a user wishes to use. It also includes optional instructions to include the information concerning this field in the postbits.

Template Edits: 2, optional
Files to Upload: 0
Plugins to Import: 1
Other: 3 (Add one Profile Field and change one vB Options setting; OPTIONAL - create a phrase)

Update 1: Hack moved out of beta stage. All appears to be working well.

How does this one differ from these?

This hack gives users the option, and then (this is the optional bit) allows this information to be part of the postbit (ie. Postbit: Profile on Top).

It works very good! I was wondering how to make the "Profile on Top" the default view?

Cybershaolin 12-06-2006 03:43 AM
One problem here: Me too but on top of it I can't seem to revert to the Profile on top.. I don't get it.

I made all modifications asked and when I go to my control panel on "Modify Options" I see that the other options are there. If I choose to see my postbit at left, it works when I go to check a message, my profile info is at left. But if I select it in order to see my postbit on top, it still shows at left, like it does not want to change back on top my message's profile.

What could be wrong?

kambiz 12-06-2006 06:12 AM
works great.
thank you man.

Hi, it works for me, but no other members..
isnt it strange?

Cybershaolin 01-21-2007 08:30 AM
Any clue to my problem?

Cybershaolin 01-25-2007 04:19 AM
I got it working but with some problems and bugs:

1- The template postbit_legacy is not included in the cache.

2- Whenever a member decide to change his postbit choice's options, it seems to revert to the postbit_legacy all time even if my own choice is on postbit. (on top).

To correct this, I have to go in the vbulltin options under Style and language and save the settings without changing anything!

Really weird. Any idea?

It says in the first thread that this hack is supported, well, last online in September... is it really the case?

Exitilus 01-25-2007 02:33 PM
Sounds like there may be a setup issue. Check the following plugin

legacypostbit toggle

Make sure the Field is Correct and the Option it's pointing too.

Cybershaolin 01-25-2007 03:16 PM
This is what I have in the plugin: (the order option is set to 5 for field in my peronalized fields too).


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

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field5'] == 'Profile on top')
{
  $vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 0;
} 
Also, in my vBulletin Options > Style and Template Settings, 'Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template' is set to No.

Exitilus 01-25-2007 07:58 PM
Order Option? Or the actual field # ?

Cybershaolin 01-26-2007 04:26 AM
Field1 = Biography: Order = 1
Field2 = Location: Order = 2
Field3 = Interests: Order = 3
Field4 = Occupation; Order = 4
Field5 = Postbit Toggle; Order = 5

So the answer is both.

I can't get this why it's happening. It's very annoying.

Exitilus 01-26-2007 01:18 PM
This is My Setup. You could try and see if it makes a difference.

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

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field5'] == 'Top')
{
  $vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 0;
}
The Field Options are:
Left
Top

And I have Set Default: Yes, but no First blank option

You mean this in User profile field?: If it's the case, it's also what I have.
Attachment 59533

In Style and languages settings I also have this:
Attachment 59534

I tried changing for
Left
Top

No changes. I'm without any clue.

One note, I did not install the option to have the toggle option in the message's profile, did you?

Exitilus 01-26-2007 05:08 PM
What type of Profile Field is it ? It should be Single-Selection Menu.

Also what version of VB are you using ?

Cybershaolin 01-26-2007 05:48 PM
I'm using 3.6.4.

Here are all options I have! :D

Exitilus 01-26-2007 06:14 PM
I think your using the wrong Profile Field. I think your using Single-Selection Radio Buttons

You need to use Single-Selection Menu

I don't think you can change the type on a whim unless you do it via the Database.

If the option is Radio Buttons (Round circles you click) that's wrong as it doesn't determine your setting by using the "Top" "left" or whatever text you entered. It uses the position of the button selected.

Cybershaolin 01-26-2007 08:35 PM
Oh I see! Maybe that's it because I use a translated mod and it said Radio Button List! (Single selection)...

I looked at the original mod here and you're right! How do I change this in the database? Which table, which field and what change?

Thanks a lot for your help. This was running me crazy!

Exitilus 01-27-2007 12:25 AM
Do this at your own risk. But I use PHPMYADMIN. Go to the table PROFILEFIELD and change TYPE to SELECT for that Field.

Sometimes when I do this .. and view the Profile Field in AdminCP it gives some errors. I just hit save .... and go back in and it's fine after that.

Cybershaolin 01-27-2007 04:02 AM
It seems to work! Bravo!

I'll see if it holds to the option using my board in the next days...

Once again thanks a lot.

steven99 01-28-2007 04:00 AM
I changed this plugs code to:
PHP Code:
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['fieldxxxxx'] == 'Profile on top')
{
  $vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 0;
}
elseif ($vbulletin->userinfo['fieldxxxx'] == 'Profile on left')
{
  $vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 1;
} 
So that the option set in Style and Language will be used for everyone that hasn't this yet set -- especially guests. I specially wanted legacy postbit off and saw no need for it to set it to off again in this plug unless it needed to by the user option.

FockerFGAA 01-28-2007 06:27 AM
thats a nice mod. if i had seen this before i probably wouldnt have tried to figure it out on my own, but i think it was safer the way i ended up doing it for us not so code inclined (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=136059) but my way required creating an extra style. ill have to consider this sometime so that i dont have to keep adding a duplicate style for every style i put on my site. thanks!

I talked too fast! :(

I really don't understand why it's not working well. After using my board today, with my postbit options set to Profile on top, it went back again to the profile displayed at left... even if I made those changes in the DB.

When it does revert to the profile on left even if my options are ser to show it on top (I have the server options displays at the bottom hack installed) it says that the postbit template is not cache. When the profile on top is displayed, it does not show that.

I had that cache problem before but with the postbit_legacy and somebody told me to add this in order to cache it:
Attachment 59592

I also tried the code posted by steven99 and it does not even want to give me a profile on top, even if it's selected in the my options.

So, in conclusion, it does not seem to work for me. I'm about to uninstall it if nobody can find a solution for me. It gives me headaches. I just don't catch it.
