Social Group and Album Enhancements - Social Group Discussions Like Postbit Legacy

Social Group Discussions Like Postbit Legacy

The following template modification makes Social Group discussion look similar to Postbit Legacy.

To install open your "socialgroups_message" template and overwrite the entire template with the markup below:

<if condition="$message['goto']">
        <a name="newmessage"></a>
</if>

<div id="gmessage_qe$message[gmid]" style="margin-bottom:5px">
    <table id="gmessage$message[gmid]" class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
        <tr>
            <td class="thead" style="font-weight:normal; border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-$stylevar[right]: 0px">$message[date] $message[time]</td>
            <td class="thead" style="font-weight:normal; border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-$stylevar[left]: 0px" align="$stylevar[right]">

            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr valign="top">
            <td class="alt2" width="175" align="center" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px">

Something you need to know

This template change will not display the full postbit that includes post count, location etc, it will only show avatar and username. The reason for this is simple, the data simply isn't available without a plugin modification.

Other Information
If you have installed my Quote Functionality in Social Discussions modification you can add a quote button by following the steps below:

1. In the template markup above find:
   
   

   <if condition="$message['edit']">

2. Immediately before this paste in the following
   
   

   <a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=message&amp;discussionid=$message[discussionid]&amp;gmq=$message[gmid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/quote.gif" alt="$vbphrase[quote]" border="0" /></a>

Unfortunately I do not have the time to sort out a template for the new postbit, so feel free to create one if you want. If you do, drop me a PM and I will link to it from this mod.

This is one of the mods in my "Why isn't this stuff in the default social group system" series, for the others see these threads:

Very easy, very nice. I love it - thank you!

Only thing I can find wrong is that selecting a post for inline moderation does not highlight it.

how can we make it display the fullsize avatar and not the thumbnail ?

Find this bit:

<img src="$message[avatarurl]" class="alt2 avatar"<if condition="$message['avatarwidth']"> width="$message[avatarwidth]"</if><if condition="$message['avatarheight']"> height="$message[avatarheight]"</if> border="0" alt="$message[username]" />

and replace with

<img src="$message[avatarurl]" class="alt2 avatar" border="0" alt="$message[username]" />

I haven't tested this, but it should work

Yep, it works fine. :up:

You are amazing. I hope they incorporate all of these into a future release.
