-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please remember to click the, "Mark as Installed" button to the right if you installed the mod ---->

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-mods.co.uk 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!

3. Why only in these forums?
4. Why only these threads?
5. What bars?
6. I don't see why you would only want some usergroups to be able to colapse/expand.
7. I can do this, but don't see why.

Some styles may or may not show all info there, some are very clean/crisp/ or well how to say this... some folks want a certain style to shine over others OR they simply as the owner prefer that style and may or may not want info collapsed or not. That's the way I thought of it at least, dunno though guess we wait for OP to reply .

Hmm, I get what you are saying TLS, but why would you install this mod if you wanted the info on show? This is simply to reduce the length of the postbit userinfo section if you have a lot of fields on show.

[TheLastSuperman]

^ Ohh I meant to say that, they want to disable or enable that part of your mod in one specific style only but all other styles (if more than one installed w/ ability for users to switch) show it the other way.

[Black Snow]

Ahh, gotcha now! So, if they had 2 styles installed and only wanted it to run on 1 style, then a "disable on X style" would be handy. I'll get right on it and add it into the next update. I have already added a few new options to the next update.

[TheLastSuperman]

Yep Yep pretty much, everyone is different and as the saying goes "Different strokes for different folks" .

Many thanks for the update. This has fixed the problem I was having a few posts back :up:

Just one question: I have the vbseo likes given and received listed in my postbit (this mod). How do I get your mod to pick those up and display them? I looked at your xml but it's beyond my "talents" to incorporate the vbseo stuff myself.

These are the two calls that need to be picked up: {vb:raw post.vbseo_likes_in} and {vb:raw post.vbseo_likes_out}

Thanks for any assistance you can give.

You can add those two calls to the vbm_expanding_userinfo template under "posts" or similar. The template has all the hook locations so vbseo should be able to display in it if they have included a call in their plugins.

EDIT: I see its a template edit mod you are referring to. Just add those 2 calls into the template i mentioned above.

Working perfectly now. Many thanks!
