Mood Hack

Mood Hack

Note: Please update to the latest version, many bugs were fixed.

This if my first hack. Since this is my first hack i don't know how good i'll be at support, but i'll give it a shot.


What does it do?

This hack displays a user's mood in the postbit. The mood is displayed as an image and there are 40 to choose from. Mood can be changed in UserCP=>Edit Profile.

Note: Tested on vBulletin 3.0.5 with security fixes to 3.0.7
It should work in all 3.0.x versions though.

Credits:

This hack is based off "Image Gender in Postbit" written by tnguy3n.

Full credit is given in the text file. I have modified his code to work with this hack.

Update!tnguy3n has pm'd me saying that the modification is ok. Yay

The creation of this hack was inspired by the request of caliman

I have not formally asked his permission due to the open source nature of the hacks at vbulletin.org

Open Source does not mean you can just take bits & pieces and make your own software out of it. I suggest you contact him yourself, to avoid miscommunications.

Oops

I pm'd him, haven't received response yet.

I released it now because i was scared someone else would release a mood hack and all my work would be for nothing

nice!

may i ask a question... how do you make the avatars and stuff on the left side? mines on top?

or is that just the style?

[|Jordan|]

It's all style related, you just need to move code around. (i made that style too, not releasing it though)

[caliman]

YOU RULE JORDAN! Thanks so much for this. I really appreciate it. Clicking install! (I will install tonight.)

Thats actually an option in adminCP somewhere. Something about using a vB2 look I think.

[Hellspire]

Yes, that is known as the postbit template. Legacy is the v2 look. Although Jordon obviously has a few modifcations to the legacy template. Wouldn't take more than 5 minutes of time, to modify a default legacy theme to match his if you know html and the vb conditionals.

[|Jordan|]

I didn't know how to make the hack with just template modifcations, so i went with this.

[boo.3]

ok got it thanks!

this hack didn't work for me at first. I followed the instructions, however there was no image displayed in the postbit - it only said : "current mood:" and no image. Then I noticed that the folder is named "moods" and in the instructions it says to use the name "mood" instead, so after I changed that it worked fine. Also, there was no blank .html in the image folder to prevent folks from snooping inside the image folder, so I changed that as well. I also added the names of the moods to the "alt" tag, so now when people hover over the mood icon it says the name of the emotion as well.
