Show Thread Enhancements - PS - Boxed Postbit Information & Centered Postbit

Please Mark As Installed!

Hello Everybody,

I thought I would share this here for everybody. This template modification will involve editing your postbit_legacy template. This will place the information displayed in the postbit such as the Post Count, Location, Join Date etc into boxes beneath the avatar to give the postbit a more professional look.

Live Demo

Below is how to do it.

1) In your AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Main CSS Options > Additional CSS place the following code:

.postinfo { 
	border-top: solid 1px #E0E0E0; 
	border-left: solid 1px #E0E0E0; 
	border-right: solid 1px #D7D7D7; 
	border-bottom: solid 1px #D7D7D7;
	margin: 3px 5px; 
	padding: 2px; 
	color: #808080; 
	background: #d2dee3;
	font-size: 10px; 
}

2) You should change the background colour to suit your style. Then click Save.

3) In your AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates > postbit_legacy find the following code:

For Join Date: (other Examples At The Bottom!)

<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>

4) Replace the relevant DIV tags as shown below.

<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div class="postinfo">$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>

5) Replace the revevant DIV tags for any other information you wish to be shown boxed.

Other Examples.

For Total Posts:

Find:

<div>
	$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
</div>

Replace With:

<div class="postinfo">
	$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
</div>

For Post Thank You Hack:

Find:

<tr><td class="alt1" colspan="3"><div>$post[post_thanks_bit]</div></td></tr>

Replace With:

<tr><td class="alt1" colspan="3"><div class="postinfo">$post[post_thanks_bit]</div></td></tr>

Screenshot Provided.

Update: I have added another file "centered postbit" to help make everything appear centralised like shown in the demo.
