What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified by us whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

We appreciate the support!

What does it look like if you use Postbit Legacy?

How do you install this

Perfect, I've been wanting this :)

Mike

I like it! Thanks guys!

One thing though. Is it possible to manually insert it where I want it do display in my Postbit Legacy. Because mine is changed, and I would like it to be moved to below the username.

Great mod!!

Installed on 3.8.4.

Only thing is that the default message is not working for my current users. They all show as "is" and not the default I set it to. Any Ideas?

The same here. The username don't show, and also the default message don't show either. (3.8.5)

Yes you can. In your template section search for "postbit_dbtech_status". Copy the code into a notepad file...clear it from the template and save it (nothing should be in there now).

Next find your "postbit_legacy" template and locate where you want the status to show. Once you find the spot just copy the code you just pasted in your notepad file in that spot.

Backup your original template files just in case. I played around with it until I got it.

what a great mod.
nice idea. but in legacy we cant write big sentence

Thank for the reports. We'll get these fixed soon.

Hey there... I got a neat idea.

Is there anyway we could make a box on the forumhome page, which would list the latest status changes/updates from members?

For example on your DBTech forums on the right you have a twitter, blog, recent topics box. What if there was a Recent Status Update box? However, this would be needed for 4.0 and 3.8.

Just thought I'd throw the idea out there.

This is a very good mod to start off.

Nice work DBTech!

Thank you very much for the info mate. Gonna play around with it a bit!

I'd like to make a suggestion (shocker!) :)

I want it so the default is blank (no mood), and in postbit nothing shows up.

Then, for logged in user, they (and only themselves) will see an option like "Set your mood" so they can set the mood.

This way the people that want to use it can. But for everyone else, it is blank to begin with and stays blank until it is set by the user.

I'm also on postbit legacy, and would appreciate a $forumhook that I can just input in where I want it.

Mike

I get an error when clicking on a thread or members profile? I have disabled. Can someone help me with this please?

All Status in one Site!!! ;-)

Any update on this?

Thanks for the suggestions, we'll take them into consideration :)

Can you verify that you uploaded the files correctly?

There will be an update tomorrow (friday) :)

Yes, i reuploaded as well to verify, same error. I would love to use mod, please help.

A fix should be posted later tonight.

What's your site URL?

Awesome mod. I would love to be able to make it optional, for my users. Like Have the ability for them to set it in there profiles but if they never set any thing or if they blank the entry out it will disappear from there postbit.

Don't know if you catch my drift. Like a if statement

if $status_text = " " OR if $status_text = [default_status]

So if nothing is in the status text field or if it is still default then it will never display the div containing the status in post bit.

I hope that kinda makes enough since so that you know what I'm talking about.

We'll consider this for the next version :)

Updated To Fix A Few Bugs

Changes:

• Character Issue Fixed
• Odd Prefix Issue Fixed

To upgrade simply reupload all files and import the product file (overwrite = yes).

- David

Status doesn't update in the post bit after update.

Tested on vanilla 3.8.5

Issues that need addressing:-

1. Admins / Super mods need a way of changing unsuitable / offensive statuses (URGENT)
2. Needs to take *banned / censored words* into account (URGENT)
3. Fix issue with admin / mods not being able to press enter to update

Hope this helps.

For now, I need to uninstall this mod due to the first two issues

We'll get these added in the next version.

I sent you my URL can you please help with this mod. I really did not want to uninstall it.

We'll be fixing this mod up over the next couple days, so hang tight :)
Thanks everyone for your reports and your patience :)


Fillip

Hey Fillip.

Is there any way the changes are logged?

eg. when a user updated their status? or is it all thrown in the users data table?

I thought it would be cool to have a box, which shows the latest status updates. I assume for this you would need a table for times, too see which status are the latest?

Maybe if you have time you can add that in?? I think it's a create stats box to have on the forumhome.

It makes my VbShout Pro stop working with the "service unavailable" message, and it isn't enough to disable it, I have to completely delete the Status-folder from server to get things running again.
Error message from VbShout Pro:

That's already present, and there should be a profile tab with the status changes on each member's profile :)

Please try uninstalling / deleting files then re-downloading the zip and re-uploading all the files then re-import the XML.

If that doesn't work either, please uninstall / delete again and wait for v1.1, where this will be permanently fixed :)


Fillip

Doesn't work, unfortunately. I guess I'll wait for 1.1. then.

Facebook Style Status has been updated to v1.1, which fixes all known problems and brings one of your most requested features:
Ability to allow certain usergroups to edit others' statuses!

We hope you enjoy this update!

- DragonByte Tech Development Team

Thanks for the update will be upgrading tonight :) Any chance of a block with the latest updates for forumhome? I would love to see that perhaps as an addon for the addon. Ability to add it somewhere on the index to edit your status would be cool too.

Does this take into` account banned / censored words? If not then I still cant install.

Yes, it does :)

- David

Great update!!! Every thing works well. Is fully functional now and am able to install on live forum.

Thank you DragonByte Tech

Like David said, it does indeed. I forgot to update the feature list with this - my bad :(
