Forums kept as Postbit Legacy, but PMs displayed as original Postbit

[Jubei]

Can someone provide details so PMs are read in vertical postbit, whereas the forums are left as postbit legacy?

Thanks.

Vertical postbit is the same as postbit_legacy.

If you want legacy, make sure that the appropriate option is enabled in your vBulletin Options, and make sure that you haven't accidentally altered the postbit_legacy template so that it would cause an error.

I think he wants PMs using the postbit template and threads using the postbit_legacy template.

^ What he said.

In that case, copy and paste the contents of your postbit template into the postbit_legacy template, but before the actual postbit_legacy content begins. Then, wrap this conditional around the postbit content:

<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">

Another option...

If you're going the conditional route then I would do the following:

1. Create a new template called "postbit_pm".
2. Copy contents of postbit template to postbit_pm.
3. Add postbit_pm to cache_templates hook in plugin:

Product: vBulletin
Hook: cache_templates
Name: Postbit PM Cache Templates
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == "showthread")
{
global $globaltemplates;
$globaltemplates[] = 'postbit_pm';
}

Plugin Active: Yes
Save

4. Add postbit_pm to postbit_display_complete hook in plugin:

Product: vBulletin
Hook: postbit_display_complete
Name: Postbit PM Postbit Display Complete
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP code:

eval('$postbit_pm = "' . fetch_template('postbit_pm') . '";');

Plugin Active: Yes
Save

5. In template postbit at the top add after "$template_hook[postbit_start]"

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'private'">
   $postbit_pm
   <else />

6. In same template at the bottom but just above "$template_hook[postbit_end]" add:

</if>

Six steps here but you'll have your own postbit template for private messages.



Edited: Some corrections.

I have asked the same question a while back, this one solved it very nice :-)

anyway to make it with no edit of templates ?

[Freesteyelz]

I haven't seen a plugin or PHP file edit (yet).

[bitHacker]

what I mean is that you wrote in step 5:

5. In template postbit at the top add after "$template_hook[postbit_start]"

can this be done automatically ?
