What style are we all using?
 
NOTE: Make sure all your styles have different display orders (only if they are in the same grouping). For instance, don't have 2 styles each with the display order of '1' otherwise this hack will just show 'Style: ' and no style shown.

This hack will show each users current selected style when viewing a post.
If you want to see how this looks, take a look at the screenshot attached.

The style system is a little more complex than the vBulletin 2 one, but it's still pretty simple and straightforward.

My apologies if this has already been released! I must also note that all of this code is original, meaning I made it all myself, I didn't look at someone else's code if anyone was wondering, so that we don't play the 'blame game' later on.

NOTE: For those who are wondering, this hack adds NO EXTRA QUERIES to your pages! Meaning the load and processing time are about the same as usual, they don't change much :)

Okay anyhow, here we go:

Instructions

Open includes/functions_showthread.php and find
PHP Code:
    static $gotrank, $sigcache, $sigperms, $gotage, $month, $day, $year, $counter; 
Above, add:
PHP Code:
    global $stylechoosercache, $vbphrase; 
Find
PHP Code:
    eval('$retval = "' . fetch_template($maintemplatename) . '";'); 
Above add
PHP Code:
    // check what style the user is viewing
    if (!$post['styleid'])
    {
        $post['style'] = '(' . $vbphrase['not_specified'] . ')';
    }
    else
    {
        // loop thru the $stylechoosercache to see which style the user is using, has to loop thru a few times
        foreach ($stylechoosercache as $parentstyle)
        {
            foreach ($parentstyle as $innerstyleid)
            {
                if ($innerstyleid[0]['styleid'] == $post['styleid'])
                {
                    $post['style'] = '<a href="' . $vboptions['forumhome'] . '.php?' . $session['sessionurl'] . 'styleid=' . $post['styleid'] . '">' . $innerstyleid[0]['title'] . '</a>';
                    continue;
                }
            }    
        }
    } 
Open the postbit template (or postbit_legacy if you're using old-style postbits) and find
HTML Code:
                                        <div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon]</div>
Above, add
HTML Code:
                                        <!-- user forum style -->
<div>$vbphrase[style]: <if condition="$post[style] == '$vbphrase[not_specified]'"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?styleid=$vboptions[styleid]">Default Style</a><else />$post[style]</if></div>
                                        <!-- / user forum style -->
Now add the following phrase:

Phrase Type: GLOBAL

Title: not_specified
Text: not specified

Title: style
Text: Style

All done! :)

DarkJediKiller 03-28-2004 04:40 PM
Looks good. Excellent job ^_^

Mr. Brian 03-28-2004 05:32 PM
Well done!

BTW, is there any way that could be able to made that as a link? Whereby user can click on it ? Exactly like what Vb.org having now.

thanks

NuclioN 03-28-2004 05:46 PM

You need the phrases to add.

It works for me using child styles :) Show me a screenshot of the style manager so I can see all your styles and childs, etc.

The phrase is definatly there. jsut tryed to add it again and got There is already a phrase named 'not_specified'. You may not create duplicate names

vb.org is using the quick and dirty way, like i call it.
the Style part is not generated, but it's a big if condition test in postbit, (as it was done during the Beta when we didn't want to hack where not needed)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I fixed it now, for upgrading, just replace global $stylechoosercache;

with global $stylechoosercache, $vbphrase;

Oh good so i wasn't going nutz!! LOL Thanks for a great hack!

Updated but still get teh same thing??

NuclioN 03-28-2004 09:58 PM
Yes the same here. Or you see a : (when a child style whas chosen) or the phrase '(not_specified)' but if they choose a master style it's correct displayed.

Gary King 03-28-2004 10:43 PM
Sorry about that guys :)

Add the following phrase:

Title: style
Text: Style

NuclioN 03-28-2004 10:59 PM
Well...it's the same only now it;s: Style:

Mr. Brian 03-28-2004 11:05 PM
How about this? Is it possible or not?


Thanks. :)

Any way I can get that from you or find out the code for it? ;) I like the template mods a lot better.

What's the forum URL? I can't see the style in postbit in your profile URL.

Pretty cool.

BarBeQue 03-29-2004 09:40 AM
This sounds like a greta hack.

Unfortunately i only have 1 style on my board so it's pretty obvious what style everybody uses :D

[high]* BarBeQue is too lazy to install multiple styles and apply have to apply template hacks to all the styles :([/high]

Just make one parent style and then you only need to modify one template and it will affect all styles ;)

Mike_XBLW 03-29-2004 08:33 PM
I installed it...but for any style but the Parent, it leaves a blank space...no text...help

Hmm, going slightly off-topic here but....

How does that work if another style has slight changes in the hacks.. for example take vb.org here.. I noticed that the green style uses w ared /me line while the blue style has a yellow line

It still works fine if a style has changes :) This hack basically doesn't even know (and care) whether or not a style has changes or not :)

Vivi Ornitier 03-30-2004 05:50 PM
Ya this isn't working properly i think.

It says

Style:

But for some users, it will show the style for them because they choose a certain style which is the forum's default one that I specified in the vboptions. If they choose another style (not child of any style), it will not show it properly.

Hmm most likely something wrong with the not_specified phrase then.

Replace
PHP Code:
$post['style'] = '(' . $vbphrase['not_specified'] . ')'; 
with
PHP Code:
$post['style'] = '(not specified)'; 
and tell me if that fixes it.

Vivi Ornitier 03-30-2004 09:02 PM
no that didn't fix it,

some people have

Style: (not specified)

Some people have

Style: XXXXXXXX

Some peopel just straight up have

Style:

and that's it, lol. I don't understand this hack at all


www.squareultima.com if you wanna take a look at it. The Green style is the original style and the default one and if people choose that style, it will work nice and dandy but if you choose any others, it doesn't show up at all, very odd.

Vb-Hispano 03-31-2004 11:19 PM
It does not work with dependent styles

Works for me for dependant styles.

Vivi Ornitier 04-01-2004 01:05 AM
something is most definitely wrong wiht the code in this hack. I installed it again and the exact same results, it's not even that confusing to instlal.

Well... I thought it was working for me. Then I started getting the "Style: " problem too.
