Show Thread Enhancements - Simple Postbit by BOP5 (for VB 4.x)

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5
www.Qapla.com

Version 1.13 - Added option to disable by styleid. (You should disable for all mobile styles)
Version 1.12 - Added a bunch new options and bug fix
Version 1.0 - Initial Release

This mod offers a simple postbit option that admins can specify to replace the standard postbit or postbit_legacy template on specific forums or in specific threads.

The simpler more minimalistic postbit is ideal when you want users focusing only on the post content and not avatars, signatures, or other irrelevant details.

The admin can actually turn the display of virtually every "extra" on or off via the mod options.

This mod is designed for VB 4.1.10 or higher. Versions below 4.1.10 will require a manual FILE EDIT.
(Details in the instructions.)


Live Demo: Simple Postbit Demo at Qapla.com

I would see use for this in a "Classifieds" forum, or perhaps a forum open to guests.

Really you could modify the new template postbit_simple_bop5_vb4 and put anything in it. For example if you replace this template with the code form postbit_legacy then you could use this mod to show the regular postbit template on most forums but choose to show postbit_legacy in specific forums or threads. It can really be thought more of as a "General Postbit Override" mod, it just happens to come pre-configured as a "Simple Postbit."

Please Mark as Installed if you use this.
Donations always appreciated. :up:

[wilford brimley]

if you just tell me how to do it or reconsider adding the button in the mod id be gratefull and donate. i want to make simple postbits on a live threads for events so it is more like a chatbox. ill use a global threads mod instead and just do the simple post bit on the global forum until then.

Basically go to the existing postbit_legacy template...

Search for the word "avatar"

Copy all the code surrounding it that is part of displaying the avatar...

Then go to the template from this mod, scroll down to about where the code came from the postbit_legacy template, and paste it in.

You will now have avatars in the simple postbit.

Thanks a lot dude. tell me how to donate i will send you some paypal.

if anyone want to add my custom mod to this one here it is: this makes it so avatar in the first post is 150%/fills up the whole postbit, then the rest are all small at 75%
find:

{vb:raw row.rowend}
					</vb:each>
				</span>
			</vb:if>

after add:

<vb:if condition="$show['avatar'] AND $vboptions['bop5sp_showavatar']">
            <a class="postuseravatar" href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw post}}" title="{vb:rawphrase {vb:raw post['onlinestatusphrase']}, {vb:raw post.username}}">
                <img style="width:<vb:if condition="$post[postcount] == 1">1</vb:if>75%" src="{vb:raw post.avatarurl}" alt="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" title="{vb:rawphrase xs_avatar, {vb:raw post.username}}" /> 
			</a>

			</vb:if>

then go in simple post bit options in Admin CP and do "add setting"

leave all product info. call varname "bop5sp_showavatar"
name it Avatar?
do option as "yesno"

now you have option for avatars in simplepostbit mod.

i added this in case anyone have vBookie installed and wants the vCash to show. this hook might show other stuff too, i dont know. in my forum its only vbookie.

in the simpel postbit template in master style

find

<dt>{vb:rawphrase posts}</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.posts}</dd></vb:if>

after add

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['bop5sp_showextra']">{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts}</vb:if>

in simple postbit options: add setting. name var "bop5sp_showextra". name the other stuff whatever you want. options is"yesno" and now you have vbookie in the options (maybe other stuff too??)

Thanks.

You can donate to me or most other coders on vBulletin.org by clicking on the "Support Developer" link at the top of a mod thread.

[wilford brimley]

there seems to be a conflict where onmy the first post is shown on the default mobile style. how can i turn off thismod for.mobile.

[wilford brimley]

sent you a pp donation.

[BirdOPrey5]

Thank you for the donation.

And yes, you are right this mod was preventing posts from showing in mobile styles ever since vBulletin made the mobile style a master style.

To fix this I have released version 1.13 - the bottom option now lets you disable by style id.

Please put the styleid(s) of any mobile styles you have in the bottom setting box, comma separated if more than one.
