User Postbit Template Selection

I'm just getting back into the swing of things with vBulletin 3.5. Here's my first plugin being released (Others are still in progress).

What this does:
This allows users to select which postbit they wish to use via their control panel.

Installation
Upload the plugin and create a new user profile field by following the directions below.
Once you complete the top two steps you must edit the plugin and find: field5
Then change that to your user profile field number.

Add a New User Profile Field

Profile Field Type:
Single-Selection Menu

Title: Postbit Template Selection

Description:
If you prefer the old-style postbit, using two vertical columns rather than the new horizontal layout, you can switch back to using that template with this switch.

Options:
Horizontal Postbit
Vertical Postbit (Legacy)

Set Default:
Yes, but no First Blank Option

Display Order:
This is your choice.

Field Required:
No

Field Editable by User:
Yes

Private Field:
Yes

Field Searchable on Members List
No

Show on Members List
No

Allow user to input their own value for this option
No

The rest does not matter.

Move the plugin to use the hook cache_templates, and replace the code with:

global $vbulletin;
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field5'] != 'Use Forum Default')
{
    if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field5'] == 'Horizontal Postbit')
    {
        $vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 0;
    }
    elseif ($vbulletin->userinfo['field5'] == 'Vertical Postbit (Legacy)')
    {
        $vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 1;
    }
}

Add an additional option to the custom profile field at the TOP of the list, "Use Forum Default".

This should work on both 3.5.x and 3.6.x setups..

thank you very much. :up:
works like a charm !

thanx again.

oops.
thanks.

I still firmly believe that my version works best (even though it doesn't take style overrides into account), and have just tested on 3.6.8 PL2 with no problem.

Where is yours? I didn't see it listed in the modification list in your profile.

What is 7.7 or was that a typo?

[lifanovsky]

I meant 3.7 indeed. 8)
