Show Thread Enhancements - Postbit Collapser/Arranger

THIS ADD-ON IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IS NOT SUPPORTED

This add-on makes the text portion of postbits collapsable and allows the selection and arranging of what profile fields will be displayed in postbits.


Features

• Select which profile fields to display in postbits.
• Select which standard vB fields to display in postbits.
• Set the order that the fields will be displayed in.
• Detects new profile fields and adds them to the postbit order display for selection.
• Detects deleted profile fields and removes them from the postbit order display.
• Does not add any database queries to the vB frontend.
• Adds Local Date and Local Time options to the available fields.
• Detects and adds Photopost Gallery option to the available fields.
• Does not affect mods that add to the proper postbit hooks, but those items can not have their order changed.
• Support for other mods to add their postbits to this add-on so the order they are displayed in can be changed.
• After editing a post or posting a quick reply, the entire postbit for that post is shown to the member that edited/posted the post.

NOTE: This add-on contains the Local Date/Time code by the late Rob Hindal (Boofo). If a large number of people think this should be removed from this mod I will remove it.

This add-on will not work with any mod that forces the use of the standard vB postbit_legacy template, or with any mod that requires manual editing of the postbit templates.

Known Mods that do this:

1. [DBTech] Advanced Post Thanks Like v3.0.3 [Lite] (Due to double Blog This Post link)
2. Info box on Postbit (may work with edits to that mod)
3. Country Flags - Postbit & Postbit_Legacy. vB 4.0.x (Inc GO : (Due to manual edits)

A live demo of this can be seen on my site: http://snogssite.com


* INSTALLATION *
-----------------------
1) Upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to your forum's root.
(If your forum's location is http://www.example.com/forums/, the root is /forums/)

2) Import the product XML file (product-pbcollapse.xml) into the Product Manager in AdminCP.

3) Go to ACP->Postbit Collapser->Postbit Display Order and set the fields you want displayed.

The Postbit Collapser will be in the Thread & Posts area of the ACP Menu
Be sure to save the options even if you don't make any changes.

4) Go to ACP->Postbit Collapser->Collapser Settings and turn the system on.

If you want to use a different graphic for the expand/collapse button in postbits change these buttons:

Excellent mod, thanks!!!!!

I think I may have found a bug. When enabled, my comments on articles won't show. Disabled they do.

Also is there a way to make the country flags work with this? My members are crying and want their flags back.

Yes you did find a bug. Thank you!

I'll have the fix for that out shortly.

Which country flag mod are you using? If it's Boofo's country flags mod, you need to make this change to his 'Country Flags Template Edits' plugin...

Find...

$templatename = $vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] == 1 ? 'postbit_legacy' : 'postbit';

Replace it with...

if($vbulletin->options['pbcollapse_offon'])
{
	$templatename = $vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] == 1 ? 'postbit_collapse_legacy' : 'postbit_collpase_postbit';
}else{
	$templatename = $vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] == 1 ? 'postbit_legacy' : 'postbit';
}

I won't be able to do anything with that until Monday. But I will take a look at it.

What version of vBulletin are you running?

Do you have the mobile style properly defined in ACP->Settings->Options->Style & Language Settings? (Default Style for Old Mobile Browsers and Default Style for Modern Mobile Browsers) They can't be set to 'None'.

His mod was a premium mod. You won't find it anywhere. After he passed away, his premium mods became unavailable.
