[3.8.4] Some Questions.

[Terrenceowns]

Note: My only style is Bluefox ambient.

Q1; How can I get my Postbit to look like this?



Online status; I want it just like that... Not the little icon on the bottom of the posbit.

IGN; I want that, so they can set it and it will appear on the posbit.

Clan; Same thing as IGN.

Cookies Given/Cookies Recieved; I want it to say Thanks Given:/thanks received:

Q2; How do I make my logo go to http://www.site.com/forum.php instead of /index.php?

Q3; How do I install poll bars?

[ChopSuey]

Online status: you can just edit the template

IGN: Custom profile field

Clan: Custom profile field

Cookies Given/Cookies Recieved: Used the post thanks hack or something.

Q2: Edit your header template, seach for indes and replace with forum

Q3: They're already implemented. But only if somebody casts a poll in a thread.

Q2: Edit your header template, seach for indes and replace with forum

Q2: Wut...? There's no index.php even in the header template.

Q3: They're already implemented. But only if somebody casts a poll in a thread.

Q3: They don't show up on my forums... I need to know how to add them.

If you added a 'thanks' hack you need to look at its documentation (readme file and/or the thread here) for how to enable display of the number of thanks, it may be a simple on/off in the mod's options or it may require you to manually edit the postbit_legacy template... if you modified the postbit template the changes wouldn't take because you're using postbit_legacy, redo any changes to 'postbit_legacy' and try again. There are quite a few 'thanks' hacks out there, it's possible some don't even support this. Check the 'user' table in phpmyadmin to see if there's even a 'thanks count' in it, if there is then at least it's possible.

To change from index.php to forum.php you go to Admin CP->vBulletin Options->Forum Homepage Options and change index to forum and make any other needed changes in there... you MUST also edit the filename via FTP or some other means to physically change index.php to forum.php - honestly don't worry about editing any templates for this, I don't know what chopsuey was thinking on that, he's usually right-on.

And for your polls they are there by default, when you add a new thread there is usually an option below the post editor to 'add a poll' to the thread which will then take you to the poll editor after hitting 'submit' - if that option is not there go to your usergroup manager, perhaps you disabled the ability to post polls for your usergroup(s).

And now that I've re-read your original question understand I'm not failiar with the style you picked, you said you want your postbit to look like the one in your picture- what does it look like now? If it's currently horizontal (above the post as opposed to besides it) then your style uses the default postbit, you need to choose to use postbit_legacy in vbulletin options-->style and template options, but it's possible your style doesn't support postbit_legacy, one way to find out.

I'll look into this more.

Thanks; Fixed.

And for your polls they are there by default, when you add a new thread there is usually an option below the post editor to 'add a poll' to the thread which will then take you to the poll editor after hitting 'submit' - if that option is not there go to your usergroup manager, perhaps you disabled the ability to post polls for your usergroup(s).

They don't show up. The poll bar images are there and everything but when I make a poll, it only says "1 vote" but on my other themes, they show up.

I'm using Bluefox_ambient. It's like bluefox but with lighting around the theme instead of stretched.
It's goes the same way, I just want like all those profile field things on there... Idk how to add profile fields so they show... Is there a manual?

It sounds like an issue with the templates (the polls) maybe you can copy the code from a working template and work backwards from thee... it's hard to troubleshoot a template error- the author may have a fix for it...

As for the custom profile fields, this article makes it as simple as it will get:

Just remember you'll be doing edits in postbit_leegacy, not postbit.
