Default or Retro

This will super simple mod will allow your users to have either a new styled vB3 postbit or the old vB2 postbit with out using phpinclude_start OR hacking


Step 1
Add a new profile field that is a single selction menu
Title: Postbit Style
Description: How all postbits will appear to you.
Options:
Default
Legacy

OR

Legacy
Default

(depending on WHICH you want to be default)
Default: Yes but not blank.

Now, Im going to assume you have NOT modifed your postbit template much and give you 2 predone full template bits, ill also give you 2 non predone bits that you must fill in for your self.

You need to chage the top line of any of the text files to make sure you have the number of the profile field replaced for X.

I had to do the same thing to get it working on my site.

Also, if I understand this code correctly, I don't really need to edit both postbit templates. I can edit the one template I've configured vBulletin to use (Default in my case), since the Legacy Postbit is not called or configured. Or am I missing something?

Maybe I am doing something wrong.

I got field options appearing in user Cp but changing the options doesn't do anything....

I am running 3.0.7 (Will this work on it?)and don't want to use your prepostbit files, so I'm using the 3rd. Umm, where do I place the code in the 3rd text file?

Also, do I need to include both parts? The stuff above and the stuff below the "OR" or is it both of them? Are you saying "OR" or is that part of the code?

[Gutspiller]

OK, I tried it and I can't get it to work on 3.0.7, it errors out when trying to save the postbit. Can somebody help getting this hack working on 3.0.7 please.

will this work with 3.5 or is there another option?
