Custom Postbit for every User · **Released**: 09-17-2002

After the one Day Beta-Version i've finished the Hack so i can release it now.

Hack Version: 1.20b

Additional Queries in showthread.php: 1

What it does: It gives users the Ability to choose between custom postbits instead of just the one global postbit (or more if you have different styles).
Also it allows users to create their own custom postbits using html-code (These must be validated by an admin before they can use them)
It also gives you the ability to create a postbit just a special usergroup or just a special user can use.

I think i've tested every little option, but if you find a bug please tell me.

Please click install if you use the hack.

Some additions:
in cpostbit.php you find this lines to allow users wether to choose a custom postbit or to create new ones:
// Usergroups which can use custom postbits
$canusecpb="2 5 7 6";
// Usergroups which can create own custom postbits
$cancreatecpb="2 5 7 6";

people who installed the beta version should run installcpb.php?action=unstall&killbeta=1 before installing the hack.

Enjoy

Thanks a lot, Xenon! Finally I figured out what you meant

It worked like a charm

@Link: Are you sure you have applied the changes to functions.php correctly?
because here at my testboard everything works fine

OK. i think i understand. I thought, that you had to validate a user before using it. Not the customization. In that case, its a little more safer. Just one question.

How bad does this lag a board? If at all.

Xenon · #24 09-22-2002, 04:43 PM

it adds just one query so the DB queries don't lag a board.
and if the users don't use foreign images then it doesn't lag a board..

Ok, I figured it out. There was a part of futureal's arcade code in there, I had to switch the position of the code to get it to work

Xenon m8 is there a way i can make it not show the picture of the default post bit just a option user Default Postbit

and it will only show the pics of the custom postbit i made

Xenon · #27 09-24-2002, 01:23 PM

you have to edit cpostbit.php:

PHP Code:


			
  if($bbuserinfo[postbitid]!=0) {

      $choosetext = "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"cpostbit\" value=\"0\"> Use standart";

      $postbit=getpostbit($post,0);

      eval("\$choosebits .= \"".gettemplate('cpostbit_choosebit')."\";");

  }

not the finest way but try this:

PHP Code:


			
  if($bbuserinfo[postbitid]!=0) {

      $choosetext = "<input type=\"radio\" name=\"cpostbit\" value=\"0\"> Use standart";

      $postbit="";

      eval("\$choosebits .= \"".gettemplate('cpostbit_choosebit')."\";");

  }

that should do it

Code:

please help

wolfe · #29 09-24-2002, 01:36 PM

wtf it just added vbb.org where i had { imagesfolder }

Xenon · #30 09-24-2002, 01:40 PM

it shows the postbits correct on the chooserscreen?

be sure you have added correctly every single line to functions.php and showthread.php

normally everything should work, and it works on two of my test boards..

Mathiau · #31 10-01-2002, 03:15 AM

wow!

a wicked hack

Question

me, i like things to ALL look the same, so this could make things look "messy" to someone like me.

Would it, if it does not already, have an option, much like a certain template

So, i make my own postbit template and then, when I view forums ALL posbits look like that? OR i can change to say another postbit template and it will look like that? - much the same as u change the color scheme on here... it affects the overall site, nut just what u do.

instead of seeing everyonme diff, postbit - as i can see some people finding that annoying as you get used to something, like profile being in one place, but it is in a few diff. places for diff people....

Just a thought.

but other wiuse very impressive hack!
