Show Thread Enhancements - Info box on Postbit

The addon allows you to back inside the post fieldx certain user in the user panel, that information is collected in an infobox retrieved via button, the box is returned immediately after signature.

Everything began to this modification Show Users System Specs.

Sorry for English but is the result of an online translator

The addon has the following options:

• Automatic entry into the Temple: With this option, the insertion of the box is automatic procedure without the change in the template as it attaches to 'template_hook.postbit_signature_end.
  
  Remember that this hook works well on the template postbit in postbit_legacy hook appears to be within an if that event does not allow the missing signature display box.
  
  
  Who uses the postbit_legacy must proceed with editing the template and set this option to no.
  
  Find:
  

  <div class="cleardiv"></div>

  add first
  

   {vb:raw ctinfo.infobox}

• Forums to be View: it is possible to select which forums to display this infobox
  
• Info Fields 1 ?....Fields 8: represent the eight fieldx to be reported, the fields must contain the name of such fields. Fields5 ... ..
  
• The last 4 options let you customize the infobox. eg. Border, background color etc. ...

Limitations

information is contained in two columns, the fields and their labels will appear only if the fields contain user data. The first column shows the fieldx 1 to 4, while in the second fieldx 5-8.

The recall button infobox appears only if at least one selected user to infobox field contains the value and if the forum is part of those selected in the options.

This change should be sufficient

Go to admincp -> Plugin & Products -> Plugin Manager -> Product : CT Info box

Edit plugin Info Box

find:

	if ($ctinfo['button'])
			{
				$templater = vB_Template::create('ct_info_button');
				$templater->register('post', $post);
				$templater->register('ctinfo', $ctinfo); 
				$template_hook['postbit_controls'] .= $templater->render();
			}

replace

					if ($ctinfo['button'])
			{
				$templater = vB_Template::create('ct_info_button');
				$templater->register('post', $post);
				$templater->register('ctinfo', $ctinfo); 
				$ctinfo['pbutton']= $templater->render();
			}

add this variable {vb:raw ctinfo.pbutton} in the templates postbit or postbit_legacy to the desired position

Looks like a good MOD but doesn't display Multi-select Checkbox information.

Here is the out put of multi-check box: 121379053 (instead of reading, writing, soccer etc).

Appreciate help!

[Asterix_ita]

Unfortunately, the multi-value fields is a limitation of this plugin

Thank you very much. However it does not work. Does not matter where I insert this:

{vb:raw ctinfo.pbutton}

It does not show up.

[Asterix_ita]

released version 4.1.1 beta

Add option show guest or only member
Add option move button infobox

Suggestion: when some users fill only the B column fields only the box will leave the whole A column area empty, can you modify the code for next release so the column B area replaces column A area when fields of column A are empty.

Thank you so much for the update. I can now insert the button anywhere, but if I insert it let's say to the left of the 'promote to article' link, then the text is there, but the button is missing. Why would that be?

[Asterix_ita]

problems with css, in your case you need to change the template ct_info_button

find:

	<style type="text/css">
	<vb:if condition="$vboptions['ct_infobox_autobutton']">
	.postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a.post_info_button, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a.post_info_button  {
		background: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/post_infobox.png) no-repeat transparent {vb:stylevar left};
		padding-{vb:stylevar left}: 20px;
	}
	.postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a.post_info_button:hover, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a.post_info_button:hover  {
		background: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/post_infobox-hover.png) no-repeat transparent {vb:stylevar left};
		}
	
	<vb:else />
	
	a.post_info_button{
		background: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/post_infobox.png) no-repeat transparent {vb:stylevar left};
		padding-{vb:stylevar left}: 20px;
	}
	a.post_info_button:hover  {background: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/post_infobox-hover.png) no-repeat transparent {vb:stylevar left};}
	
	</vb:if>
</style>

replace:

	<style type="text/css">

	.postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a.post_info_button, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a.post_info_button  {
		background: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/post_infobox.png) no-repeat transparent {vb:stylevar left};
		padding-{vb:stylevar left}: 20px;
	}
	.postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a.post_info_button:hover, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a.post_info_button:hover  {
		background: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/post_infobox-hover.png) no-repeat transparent {vb:stylevar left};
		}
	
</style>

Bugs discovered:
1. When "Show infobox button" set to no and guests set to no they can still see the box. (not the button only box)
2. When "Show infobox button" set to no and user have no input a little empty box appears under each post.
3. In case number 1 i mentioned above column B still in place while column A empty when user has no column A inputs (guest mode) but it's working fine for registered users mode.

[Asterix_ita]

as were the bugs 4.1.0, which is not reflected in 4.1.1 installed in the test

Thanks


PS. on 4.1.1 I have this as the first instruction

if ($this->registry->options['ct_infobox_guest'] OR $show['member'])
    {
