Extra Image in Postbit for Users

Add a 'sidebar' image to your postbit.


What it does:
Adds a second user selected image to the postbit which is just like an avatar but appears at the bottom of the postbit. Great fun for larger communities with expressive users.

Concerns:
This doesnt have the same restrictions as an avatar, so giant images could be placed inside the area given, which means you'll have to do some moderation to keep people inline and if needed - restrict access to sidebars for some members.


Instructions:
Step 1:
User Profile Fields > Add New User Profile Field - Single Line Text Box

Title: Sidebar
Description: Enter the URL of your sidebar image here

Keep the default values the same.

Now record the value given to this profile field! (Example: Field15) You'll need it for the template edit.


Step 2:
Edit Template: postbit_legacy & postbit

Find:

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div>

Below Add:

<!-- SIDEBAR -->
<if condition="$post[field14]"><div style="padding:$stylevar[cellpadding]px"><img class="inlineimg" src="$post[field14]" border="0" padding="2" /></div></if>
</-- SIDEBAR -->

<<<REMEMBER TO CHANGE $post[fieldX] TO THE PROPER PROFILE FIELD NUMBER!!>>>

Link doesn't work.... ok, works now...

I am not really sure what this mod is?? Why are you calling it a sidebar???? It allows extra images in the side area of the postbit???

Thanks

I called it a sidebar for lack of a better term, its a modification that allows your users to add another picture to the side area of the postbit.
