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

Very sorry to hear of his passing. Thanks for replying, no wonder I could not find him.

Thanks for your prompt reply!

That mod is not a full blown mod that uses the proper template hooks to display it's information. It's all manual edits.

Because of that, there is no way to integrate it with this mod.

I'd contact the author of that mod and see if they will update it to use the proper template hooks in the postbit area.

The text being displayed with that country flag mod is because of the manual edits to templates to display the flags. Postbit collapser picks up the profile field as it's text value (as it should) and displays that. The country flag mod changes that text value to an image with it's manual template edits and there's no good way to manually edit the postbit collapser template to compensate for manual edits. If the flag mod used a template hook to display it's flags, there would be no problem since all of the same hooks for a standard vB postbit template exist in the postbit collapser templates.

I'm not sure why you would lose the postrow div for the postbody. It exists in this mod's templates exactly the way it does in the regular postbit_legacy template.

I would need to see your entire postbit_legacy template for the skin you're using to see what you're talking about.

The double 'Blog this post' is from this mod.. [DBTech] Advanced Post Thanks Like v3.0.3 [Lite]. I've discussed it with the author of that mod and he isn't going to make the needed changes to prevent it. That is why that mod is still listed as not working with this mod.

I've registered on your site as NHawk.

Bosss..

Download the update I posted today. You only need to upload the files, there's no need to import the XML again.

The update fixes the problem with CompletevB templates.

Once you've done that, let me know and I'll log in to your site again to fix the double 'Blog This Post' link that's caused by the DBTech mod.

I would have to see what you're talking about.

If they are displaying but in a different position, that can't be changed unless DBTech decides to add the code to allow postbit collapser to move it around as described in the Programmers_ReadMe.txt file.
