What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

Thanks for the initial offer but as 2 weeks have now passed i think it is time to call it a day and move on. It is potentially a great mod by giving the forum a social dimension but it doesn't work for some. I'm going to move with dragon bytes Advanced User Tagging but if someone else can give ozzy admin rights to their forum - please go ahead to try and solve this mystery as i'll be uninstalling it later

Hi everyone,

sorry I wasn't able to explain how I fixed the issue with this mod... here is the details:

what I did is changing case 8 in the code to a custom template hook that you need to add manually...

so I've changed this :

case 8: $template_hook['postbit_controls'] .= $addfriend_postbit->render(); break;

to this:

case 8: $template_hook['postbit_addfriend'] .= $addfriend_postbit->render(); break;

I did that twice in the same plugin and then add template hook manually in both postbit and postbit_legacy... find this code:

<span class="postcontrols">

Add below it this code:

{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_addfriend}

and here is the modified plugin if you don't know how to do it...

however, you still need to add the custom template hook as I mentioned before, otherwise, it won't work...

any question, please ask...

Good luck!!

You rock, Ozzy. Awesomeness abounds!

Added to Postbit Controls Area (Legacy & Horizontal), and it's just a really nice, simple but effective idea.

Deserves MOTM.

Ozzy to fix every body problem, you need to globalize $vbulletin

global $vbulletin;
if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, explode(',', $this->registry->options['ozzmodz_addfriend_postbit_groups'])))
{

nice little mod

[ozzy47]

Hmmm, I thought I did, I'll check it out after I get some thing straightened out in some other mods.

Also you need to fix the cache template plugin. You are calling another mod as active

• Hopefully solved the issue with this not working for everyone.
