Show Thread Enhancements - Neater Postbit Legacy Fields

Hi.I would like to share my postbit_legacy template codes with you guys.Here's another way to make your postbit legacy info look neater.Your Post counts,Location and any other info which you want,can be 'boxed' up nicely under your avatar.This should work in most versions of vb i believe and should be able to use it in the postbit template too though i havent try that out yet.Anyway,here how to do it....

1)In your Admincp,under Style Manager,Main CSS options,add inside the Additional CSS box

.postdata { 
	border-top: solid 1px #E0E0E0; 
	border-left: solid 1px #E0E0E0; 
	border-right: solid 1px #D7D7D7; 
	border-bottom: solid 1px #D7D7D7;
	margin: 3px 5px; 
	padding: 2px; 
	color: #808080; 
	background: #FFFFFF;
	font-size: 10px; 
}

and click Save

NOTE:You should change the color of the background of the box or size accordingly to the style you are using.

2)In your AdminCP,Style Manager,Edit Templates options,go to edit the Postbit_Legacy option,under this code,

					<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>
					<if condition="$post['field2']"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>
			<if condition="$post['age']"><div>$vbphrase[age]: $post[age]</div></if>
				<div>
					$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
				</div>
				<if condition="$show['infraction']"><div>$vbphrase[infractions]: $post[warnings]/$post[infractions] ($post[ipoints])</div></if>

Edit the relavent <div> tags that you wish to become enclosed in the box to become <div class="postdata">.Meaning,you should get something like this

				<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div class="postdata">$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>
				<if condition="$post['field2']"><div class="postdata">$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>
				<if condition="$post['age']"> <div class="postdata">$vbphrase[age]: $post[age]</div></if>
				<div class="postdata">
					$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
				</div>
				<if condition="$show['infraction']"><div class="postdata">$vbphrase[infractions]: $post[warnings]/$post[infractions] ($post[ipoints])</div></if>

See those changes i've made in red to what i meant.You can have as many details as enclosed neatly in the boxes and in what colors as you wish(just edit the values in the Step 1)

Screenshot below.I'm just sharing what i think is neat,i'm not a designer nor coder,so dont be hard on me!Thanks for reading!

Just thought I would add this for anyone using arcade

find:

$post[crowns]$post[champtext]

replace with:

<if condition="$post[crowns] or $post[champtext]"><div class="postdata">$post[crowns] $post[champtext]</div></if>

I copied it and pasted it below this or you can place it wherever you think looks best

<if condition="$post[icqicon] OR $post[aimicon] OR $post[msnicon] OR $post[yahooicon] OR $post[skypeicon]"><div class="postdata">$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div></if>

I have a problem, apparently when I put it in, the fields that are boxed are repeating themselves. So I have the Join Date, etc. inside and outside of the boxes.
