[Postbit] Postbit table

The only thing edited here is the left block, see screenshot below.

There are no hard coded colors. There are some hard coded font tags. Just replace your entire postbit template with the contents of the txt file.

right above

</table>
</div>

Add one of these for each new box you want.

<tr>
<td width="100%" height="12" bgcolor="#F9F9F9"><b>
<font face="Verdana" size="1" color="#4274B6">INSERT WHAT YOU WANT IN THE BOX HERE</b>
</td>
</tr>

Yep, exactly what I meant, but in code, thanks rootnik for posting that

Not be picky or anything but their a lot of unneeded/unused font tags, tags in general in your code. Take thouse out and in the long run you'll save a little bandwidth, even if it is 50 kb at the end of the month... still something. ;-)

Thanks.

k33nny, Thanks for notcing. I created the table with front page and it adds allot of tags that are not needed. I'll edit those out when I release the next update.

Great template! But, I had a problem with mine. Here is what it looked like after I installed the new template. The dag-gone "Search" button is really intruding. Did I do something wrong?

Heya GP,

find a small magnify glass icon like the one used next to the user names here. Save it as "findnew2.gif" and upload it to your vbulletin image directory.

Then replace your postbit_search template with this:

[<a href="search.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=finduser&userid=$post[userid]"><img src="images/findnew2.gif" border="0" alt="Find more posts by $userinfo[username]"></a>]

I still plan on cleaning the font codes up and posting a couple updates later tonight.

Ah-so! Thanks rootnik! I'll try it again later when my board doesn't have as many users on.

A sweet template that makes me look good. Are there any better kinds!?

This is the last update for this tweak. What's different?

1. I cleaned up the html, getting rid of the font tags that were not needed.

2. Instead of replacing the entire postbit template I included code for the user table only. There is no reason to replace the entire template just to modify the user info part of it. I tried to explain where in the template to paste the code, but it may not be the same in your template if yours is already heavily modified. Most people shouldn't have this problem, and those who do should have enough experience to hunt the area down themselves.

3. I explain how to easily add more "blocks" to the table.

I also added a private message link and the username is a link to the user's profile.

Enjoy

Hi Rootnik,

Sorry to bother yah. I did what you said and it worked great. However, I want to keep my traditional "Search" button along with the "PM", "WWW", etc. and only replace the "Search" button that appears to the right of the user name in the user stats box like it appears here. Otherwise the little magnifying glass seems to replace the original "Search" postbit for both.

Is that possible?

Thanks!
