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:

Code:

<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">

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:

In the template markup above find:
Code:
```
<if condition="$message['edit']">
```

Immediately before this paste in the following

Code:

<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:

I made a couple different changes, moved the IP and report to next to the quote/edit buttons. Just posting it here in case anyone else wants to do it.

Did it by commenting out the following code

Code:

<!--<if condition="$show['reportlink']">
					<a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=report&amp;gmid=$message[gmid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/report.gif" alt="$vbphrase[report_bad_post]" border="0" /></a>
				</if>-->
				<!--<if condition="$message['itemipaddress']">
					<a href="group.php?do=viewip&amp;gmid=$message[gmid]" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/ip.gif" alt="$vbphrase[ip]" border="0" /></a>
				</if>-->

and adding it as below

Code:

<td class="alt1" align="$stylevar[right]" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-$stylevar[left]: 0px; border-top: 0px">
<if condition="$message['itemipaddress']">
					<a href="group.php?do=viewip&amp;gmid=$message[gmid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/ip.gif" alt="$vbphrase[ip]" border="0" /></a>
				</if>

<if condition="$show['reportlink']">
					<a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=report&amp;gmid=$message[gmid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/report.gif" alt="$vbphrase[report_bad_post]" border="0" /></a>
				</if>
<a href="group.php?$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>
				<if condition="$message['edit']">
					<if condition="!$message[is_discussion]">
						<img style="display: none" id="progress_$message[gmid]" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/progress.gif" alt="$vbphrase[loading_editor_please_wait]" />
					</if>
					<a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=message&amp;gmid=$message[gmid]<if condition="$perpage">&amp;pp=$perpage</if><if condition="$pagenumber">&amp;page=$pagenumber</if>" id="gmessage_qe_edit_$message[gmid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/edit.gif" alt="$vbphrase[edit_delete_message]" border="0" /></a>

I was hoping someone would make a change like this. =) Now if only there was a way to allow signatures to be posted as well, together with that other information.... You say another addon would be needed for that? Any plans?

Merriweather · #14 03-07-2009, 06:06 AM

This is great!!! Tank you, MrEyes and Schnee for sharing the additional edits.

I like this, and am hoping someone does the signature add-on as well!

jambo_1969 · #15 03-07-2009, 11:54 AM

..edit

Bowromir · #16 03-19-2009, 10:44 AM

Great add-on! It would be awesome if their would be an option to show the regular postbit info and the signatures aswell.. Any chance this will happen soon?

Alfa1 · #17 03-26-2009, 10:34 PM

Many thanks!

TNCclubman · #18 03-27-2009, 12:46 AM

installed thanks!

timinrome · #19 03-27-2009, 07:44 PM

Sorry, but what is Postbit Legacy exactly? Where can I find more info?

Thanks

this doesn't works correctly onto the 3.8.2 version ...
