Select Postbit
 

Select Postbit by Rafael Lopez
10/17/2008

This is an overdue port for a modification I made way back in the 3.0.x days. But enough with the preface, let's
get to the point.

~~ What this does ~~

Gives users the option of using either version of vBulletin's postbit. They can choose to use postbit_legacy or the normal postbit.

You may choose/keep your forum's default through vBulletin's normal vBulletin Options regarding that option (i.e. you don't need to do anything extra). But there's a tiny catch which we'll go over during installation.

And that's it!

~~ Included ~~

1 product
1 plugin
0 templates
0 template edits
(Woooo!!)



If you use this please CLICK INSTALL.

Support will not be given for users who have not clicked install. But then again, it probably won't need any support since it'll "just work" ;)

Sounds like a winner. (Not having to set the postbit as default board style is what I was looking for!)

Hm I found a bug which I haven't been able to fix...then again I'm in a hurry and only experimented for a few minutes.

Ajax seems to screw it up. Editing and posting will revert the post back to the forum default until you refresh.

I'll work on a fix later (in the middle of something else now) but if anyone has any ideas I'm more than open to suggestions etc.

No biggie. I will just update it when you find a fix.
I'll see if I can figure it out...... but I doubt I will get very far.

As I stated--with that one you have to have the default style set to postbit. I do not. My forum default is postbit_legacy.

That's why I am using the mod in THIS thread. :)

1. I hadn't seen that before, the one I HAD seen before was annoying because you HAD to have postbit (i.e. not legacy) on as default. That was unacceptable to some people including myself.

2. The link you posted doesn't seem to work with 3.7 and users have been complaining and the author hasn't ported it.

3. From what I gather it also seems to have the same "problem" as #1.


If people want to use that one then they can, if they don't then they can use any of the others that are available including mine.

1. You just saw it now

2. It works perfectly with 3.7

3. Doesnt have any single problem.

1. That's pretty condescending.

2. Seems as though some are having problems with it.

3. Unless you use postbit_legacy as the default in which case there is a problem.

Thank you - I've been wanting to offer the option for quite sometime, but wished to maintain postbit_legacy as default. Now I can.
