PostBit Profile Drop Down
PostBit Profile Drop Down
What does it do?
Allows you to display profile fields in a pull down vB menu in the postbit.
Features
- Neatens up the postbit, you don't have to have loads of info listed.
- Will work on other vBulletin 3 versions. (Untested, but I see no reason why it shouldn't given that this particular part of the template to be used hasn't been changed).
- Versatile. There are other uses you can use this for other than displaying profile fields. (not supported).
- It's tested and it works.
How long will it take to set up?
About 10 minutes.
Difficulty
Easy - Rather Irritating
Skill Level Required
Modest. Experience.
Instructions
STEP 1
Copy and paste this into Notepad:
HTML Code:
<!-- more info menu -->
<if condition="$post[fielda] OR $post[fieldb] OR $post[fieldc] OR $post[fieldd] OR $post[fielde]">
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="infomenu_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2">More Information</td>
</tr>
<if condition="$post['fielda]">
<tr>
<td class="thead">Gender</td>
<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">$post[fielda]</td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$post['fieldb']">
<tr>
<td class="thead">Mood</td>
<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">$post[fieldb]</td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$post['fieldc']">
<tr>
<td class="thead">Interests</td>
<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">$post[fieldc]</td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$post['fieldd']">
<tr>
<td class="thead">Hero(s)</td>
<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">$post[fieldd]</td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$post['fielde']">
<tr>
<td class="thead">Real Name</td>
<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">$post[fielde]</td>
</tr>
</if>
<if condition="$post['fieldf']">
<tr>
<td class="thead">Occupation</td>
<td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">$post[fieldf]</td>
</tr>
</if>
</table>
</div>
</if>
<!-- / more info menu -->
STEP 2
Make a note of the profile option ID of the fields you wish to use in the menu.
I have used examples such as 'fielda' in the code, change this to 'field2' etc. with 2 being the ID of the profile field. Go through all the code and makesure all are amended.
STEP 3
HTML Code:
<td class="thead">Occupation</td>
Amend instances of these (Occupation) to match the name of the corresponding profile fields.
STEP 4
In postbit or postbit_legacy, find:
HTML Code:
<!-- / post $post[postid] popup menu -->
and below it copy and paste the code from Notepad.
STEP 5
Copy and pase this into Notepad:
Code:
<if condition="$post[fielda] OR $post[fieldb] OR $post[fieldc] OR $post[fieldd] OR $post[fielde]">
<div id="infomenu_$post[postid]">
<a href="#infomenu_$post[postid]">More Info</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("infomenu_$post[postid]", true); </script>
</div>
</if>
Like you did before, change 'fielda' etc. appropriatley.
STEP 6
Copy and paste this to the area of the postbit you would like it to appear.
