Useful, Thanks

Your one doesn't respect style override features (or atleast I don't think it does).

thank you:up:

Why not? Lokk in the source Code. It will work ;)

Because you're changing the option and not checking 'styleoverride' which is supposed to override all user styles in a specific forum.

Works great ... (Its changed in all Styles ... It's right, isnt't it?) ;)

Greetings Surviver

Thada be da one I use. Exceptional!

Installed. Thank's Dismounted!
And what about hm...
As for me if hack hasn't manualy template changes it's more powerfull for newbies and members who has MANY hack's with template changes installed.

Thanks!

thank you...

I take it your forum default has to be 'new postbit' or this doesn't work. Is that right? If so, any way to make it work in reverse (i.e. legacy is default, but let users turn on new)?

A tweak of the plugin would fix this. I'll post the new plugin code later as I'm busy currently.

if i'm browsing my site in debug mode it tells me that the templates aren't cached when i choose the legacy style (which isn't default). Is there a way to make get the legacy templates cached too or will there be a query more all the time?

Also it seems, it doesnt change the postbit when you look at private msgs. It stays in the horizontal postbit.

anyway to make this default to on? I tried putting yes as the default option but it does not save for the user.

You need to place 'Yes' at the top and also, you'll need to change the plugin to reflect an empty field.

What do you mean by an empty field?

~Update
I flipped the plugin posistions and this worked.

I used to have the Legacy (Vertical) Postbit. Now with this installed it works fine. But on the Horizontal Postbit the username of the member shows duplicated. I remember having had this problem before with the Legacy Postbit, but I can't remember how I fixed it.

Any idea?

Make sure that you don't have the username code in twice.

This is causing a problem with deleted posts on our forum, which is v3.6.8. A screenshot is attached. They show up with the little garbage can icon, but the "Manage" hyperlink is gone. When I disable the plugin, they show up normally.

Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas what might by causing this.

Will this plugin work with 3.7?

Just tested. Doesn''t seem to work on 3.7 RC3. Also, I confirm the bug with no "manage" link with this plugin activated.

Gentlemen, could you please advice the plugin that will allow to achieve the same thing as this one and will work with 3.7?

*bump*

I haven't had any luck either getting support for this mod. It did not work on 3.6.10.

*Uninstalls* :(

But the plugin of that kind happily works here, at vb.org . Is it some private coding or is it a published plugin? Is there a way to know this?

i also need this for 3.7.0 ... :)

Just do a profile field and a conditional.

what conditional Bobby?

Ok, Kurtzy, here you go, sir. Just use the the standard "if post['fieldx']" conditional, after you set up a profile field for the user to check which postbit they want.

Just a quick note: I finally got this to work on vB 3.7, but the issue with the default postbit doesn't seem to be resolved. In other words, the site must have the postbit template set as default in order for this to work, so users can choose to stick with the new horizontal postbit style or choose the vertical postbit legacy style.

Change the default postbit style in your vB options before installing this mod, then install per instructions and it should work fine as it does on my forum.

I don't suppose there is a working 3.7 version of this yet?

I will port this over when I have time to.

Thanks, looking forward to it :)

So do i.

also looking forward to a 3.7 release :)

That would be great! Cause i have a problem withs this mod (in 3.7.0), when i delete a post it does not slim's, it stays the same size as it was before deleting.
