Mood Hack

Mood Hack

Note: Please update to the latest version, many bugs were fixed.

This if my first hack. Since this is my first hack i don't know how good i'll be at support, but i'll give it a shot.


What does it do?

This hack displays a user's mood in the postbit. The mood is displayed as an image and there are 40 to choose from. Mood can be changed in UserCP=>Edit Profile.

Note: Tested on vBulletin 3.0.5 with security fixes to 3.0.7
It should work in all 3.0.x versions though.

Credits:

This hack is based off "Image Gender in Postbit" written by tnguy3n.

Full credit is given in the text file. I have modified his code to work with this hack.

Update!tnguy3n has pm'd me saying that the modification is ok. Yay

The creation of this hack was inspired by the request of caliman

OK, I had to add an underscore to the vbs_user

I did all that, damn sure it worked, but still get this when trying to view any thread:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.

Nevermind, I un-installed the hack.

That cookies error is very common (across many many php scripts). Here's the fix:

Create and upload a file in your root forum dir called ".htaccess" or if it already exists, add the following code to it:

PHP_FLAG output_buffering on

Is there an easy way in this hack to put the dropdown in the postbit instead of the userCP. Almost like the default VB3 style dropdown. The user could select their MOOD on the fly when posting, instead of going into their CP.

[paul41598]

N/M, I coded it myself. I will be posting an addon/alteration of this this hack shortly

Hi,
I have tried to install this hack regardless of all the changes i've made it doesn't work. I don't get error message, but I don't see it anywhere. I went to usercp found it there change the mood and still doesn't show up if there is anyone out there just give me a step by step instruction. I know its in the file i don't seem to get it as u have seen.

And by the way I used both hacks, the new one the old one none seems to work

Anyone that can make this work please help thanks in advance

Depends on which postbit your using. The default one is called "posbit", the new one (which vb.org uses) is called "posbit_legacy". Figure out which one you're using and make the necessary modifications to it.

Good Luck. Hope this helps.

I am not sure which one I am using, I have both of them so how do i know which one i'm using?, i'm using vb 3.7 so can u please tell me where to go?

another question is, downloading this file you have here, is that all I need? or is there something else? please let me know

thanks

Now on the postbit I see the list of moods when I click the dropdown arrow, but when I chose a mood it dosn't display the mood it reverts back to 'Your Mood', option,

I have done all the modifications
