Postbit Tabs: What is it?
DragonByte Technologies are proud to present Postbit Tabs v1: A mini mod that uses JavaScript to organise the postbit in a tab-like fashion.


Why Postbit Tabs?

Postbit Tabs is a product that uses JavaScript to organise the postbit in a tab-like fashion, offering admins the opportunity to slim down their postbits and give it a more Web 2.0 look.

It's a powerful tool for any admin who feels their postbit has become cluttered by various modifications' additions, and who wish to regain control over how their postbit looks.

Our advanced View Manager allows admins to directly copy/paste HTML code as it's found in vBulletin templates - no special syntax is required.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

We appreciate the support!

Hello,
Well this should be a really easy question for people who know this stuff. I, however, don't so after 2 hours of trying I've given up. I hope someone can help me with this. Basically I'm trying to get rid of these two things: ''Points'' and ''Level''.

I've basically been deleting small snippets of the postbit_legacy template for 2 hours now but I can't figure out what to do (ofcourse I did put them back after seeing they dont do what I want them to do lol)

Also, another question I have is this. I want to add ''rep points: x'' and ''rep power: x'' under the green rep bar but can't do that either. Yeah I suck I know, it's my first time doing anything other than CSS though so can't figure it out on my own



Thanks in advance hombres,
Peace

I don't know what mod those lines come from so I am unfortunately unable to assist with that

We haven't copied any code, not even the JS code

The JS was made in collaboration with Darkwaltz4, DBTech's resident jQuery guru, conceptualised / foundation written by myself.

We've also been in contact with DigitalJedi both in public on DBTech's website, and in private communication both there and here on vB.org, so I would think he's fully aware of what has been going on with this mod

See, this is what I get for going away right before you posted the mod. I didn't get to act all indignant and shake fists and stuff before anyone noticed. There was an actual tin can I was going to kick.

I know, I know. I'm ten.

I was never able to sit down and come up with a logical way to handle the tabs via the Admin CP. I like how you've handled it. I haven't got a chance to install this yet, but did you run into any issue with persistent tabs? The JavaScript I was using, for some reason I never pinpointed, kept logging people out when set to persistent.

Nope, no cookie issues reported thus far.

Could it be that the cookie you were setting somehow overwrote the userid or password cookies, or some other part of it caused those cookies to be deleted?

These are the functions I use:

    function setCookie(name,value,days) {
        if (days) {
            var date = new Date();
            date.setTime(date.getTime()+(days*24*60*60*1000));
            var expires = "; expires="+date.toGMTString();
        }
        else var expires = "";
        document.cookie = name+"="+value+expires+"; path=/";
    }
    
    function getCookie(name) {
        var nameEQ = name + "=";
        var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
        for(var i=0;i < ca.length;i++) {
            var c = ca[i];
            while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1,c.length);
            if (c.indexOf(nameEQ) == 0) return c.substring(nameEQ.length,c.length);
        }
        return null;
    }
    
    function deleteCookie(name) {
        setCookie(name,"",-1);
    }

<facepalm> That MUST have been it. Never even occurred to me.

It looks like you either have some old template edits, or another modification turned on that adds content to that hook.

{vb:raw template_hook.dbtech_userinfo_right_after_posts}

Finally, several pages in, an example is provided.

The earlier poster was correct, short of installing the other suite of DragonByte mods, this is useless.

I was ambivalent on the entire lite v. premium debate until this mod, but now lean heavily against it. It's simply not worth it.

[DragonByte Tech]

How is this useless? You can move any modification's code along with default vBulletin information using the same syntax as the template.

I'm curious to know what else you'd want. Critisism is only constructive if it offers advice on how to (in your opinion) improve the mod - simply saying "this sucks" doesn't help us make a better mod.

I completely agree. I use this with many mods postbit code and it works very nicely, suits our needs perfectly.
