Add-On Releases - jQt jQuery Suite for vB4

Completely Re-designed modular system, virtually all the code re-written.

Description:
This mod will add jQuery enhancements to various areas of your vBulletin board using the renown jQuery Tools Library.

jQuery Overlays:

• Separate Log-In and Registration Dialogues, Including Human Verify and D.O.B. but NOT required fields.
• OR Log-In / Register Slide-Down
• Log Out Dialogue
• Mark Forums Read Dialogue
• Mini-Stats
• Display Chat/Shout box in slide-down

Tooltips:

• vBAdvanced Recent Threads, including threadstarters avatar.
• Forum Display (threadbits), including threadstarters avatar.(upgraded)
• Postbit / Postbit_legacy, including avatar and post/activity details.
• Forum Home Description
• Search Results page (search_threadbit)

I now use and HIGHLY RECOMMEND TMS (Template Modification System) as it automates the template edits for the default theme and simplifies the edits for custom themes.


This is the first release of this re-designed mod. I have re-written these scripts to be far more compatible with other add-ons, using the <noconflict> method throughout.
I have used a 'modular' environment, meaning that you can select specifically the individual components you want to use. All of the modules are fully configurable from the AdminCP, and many of the style attributes are editable from the templates stylevar dialogue.

UPGRADE: from any previous version to this, v4.0 there is NO UPGRADE PATH, you need to fully remove earlier versions, then follow the instructions for installation. I am very sorry for this inconvenience, but so much has been changed that incorporating upgrading became untenable.

INSTALLATION:
1, Upload all the files/folders in the UPLOAD folder to your forum root.

2, Install the product 'product-jqt_suite-CORE.xml'. This is the only component that is COMPULSORY. This has to be installed for any of the others modules to work!

3, Install any of the other module(s) from the AdminCP, as you would any other product;
jQt Suite Log-In-Register Module
jQt Suite Log-In-Register Slider Module
(you can only use ONE of the above, the first is the overlay)
jQt Suite MarkForumsRead Module
jQt Suite MiniStats Module
jQt Suite Tooltips Module

4, If you have TMS (Template Modification System) installed the template edits have already been done for you.
If not, then manually apply the template edits from the template edit pages found in the Docs folder of the archive.
You only need to apply the template edits for the module(s) that you install.

5, Pop into your AdminCP and configure the product(s)

6, To enable the 'VSa Visitors in Last X Hours' block in the mini-stats you need to have that mod already installed (use the link) then edit the 'VSa - Visitors In Last X Hours' Product thus:
Go to AdminCP/Plugins & Products/Plugin Manager/
and disable the Plugin 'VSa - VILXH - MN'. This transfers the results from the forum home page to the mini-stats block.

TWEAKING TOOLTIP POSITION
For those of you that would like to tweak the position of the tooltips, here is a quote directly from the original jQuery Tools Tooltip documentation describing what the numbers mean.
Edit these positions by opening
/jqt_suite/jqt_suite_black_css.js
/jqt_suite/jqt_suite_minimal_black_css.js
or
/jqt_suite/jqt_suite_white_css.js
and finding the line(s) 'offset: [-44, 90],'

The offset property fine tunes the tooltip position specified with the position property. For example, the value [10, -20] moves the tooltip position 10px downwards and 20px to the left. The first value modifies the vertical positioning from the top edge of the tooltip and the second value modifies the horizontal positioning from the left edge of the tooltip. Positive values move the tooltip downward and to the right, while negative values move the tooltip upward and to the left.

For those that use vBSEO and have some trouble with guests viewing the tooltips, you can turn OFF the vBSEO option "Remove Thread Preview Text For Guest Visitors" to fix it.

All updates/future releases and support are now only available at jqt-suite.co.uk

Dammit all, in my haste I made typo

I must say that it is a awesome mode, but could not install as instructed. Maybe, I am the slowest! Please read below for my confusion:

Below is your direction to modify php code in the header, as highlighted in RED:
"
To stun the original Register button into submission:

Find:
PHP Code:

<li>
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}"></script>

and ADD before:

PHP Code:

<!--
"

What do you mean by the statement above? You use the word "before" and I am not sure I understand that. The word "before" means to me, as below:

<!---
<li>
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}"></script>

If that is not the meaning, then the phrase "in front of" each php code, as below:

<!--- <li> -->
<!--- <script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}"></script> -->

Then Find:
PHP Code:

}
}
</script>
</li>

and ADD after:

PHP Code:
-->

Again, what do you mean by "after"? You mean as shown below, aren't you?

}
}
</script>
</li> --->

OR

<!--- } --->
<!--- } --->
<!--- </script> --->
<!--- </li> --->

Please verify this as shown above . Thank you .

I'd be interested to know which browser you used to view the docs? They have embedded script that works fine in all the usual ones, but if you download the attached file I have included the non-script version of the Docs for you.

I tried and kinda got it to work, but it doesnt position properly like in forumlists.

Still working on a search result but I dont know how to position the floater like in the thread list pages. I dunno.

Question on the add-on profile bit: I have noticed that my awaiting confirmation usergroup in mini profile (legacy) It just outputs the script text and doesnt render the popup.

I run a script that occasionaly tests member emails for being valid, and bounces get booted to the awaiting confirmation membergroup. But their posts stay published and as result, mini-profiles in posts for these members still exist.

I'll look at this later this morning.

I tried this, moved a couple of users to 'Awaiting Confirmation', but what happens in my forums is that their Avatar goes as well, so nothing happens.
What I may try is to give it a 'if is member' conditional in the code itself.
I'll experiment this morning and let you know the results.

Attached is a quicky fix.
The file in the archive is my entire 'search_threadbit' template.
You'll see at the beginning and end where I have added the tooltip. It returns the same tooltip as in the threadbit (for me )

You can edit the position of the tooltip if you open the file '/jqt_suite/jqt_suite_black/white_css.js' where it says:
"offset: [14, -20],"
This is the offset from the mouse pointer as zero.
Hope this is of some assistance friend

I have been unable to replicate this at all
When the script moves them to the 'Awaiting Confirmation' group is this a modified group? does it retain avatars?
Is the script you use publicly available from here?
Let me know please (PM works for me if you want)

[smirkley]

Thanks, will try the search results later.

My awaiting group does allow for avatars, but the group can no longer post, until they update their email again. It is basically the same awaiting confirmation group that comes out of the box from vb, but some things like avatars still retain.

The script isnt anything big really, it just moves the member into a different member group, in my case, the awaiting group.

Now, when a member has posts, and is moved to this group, the avatars still show in posts for them, but the script that makes your popups show up, just shows up as plain script immediatly following the displayed avatar.

This is the code displayed, in blue is the avatar(avatar shows) and username of member in text

*avatar*username</h3> <h4></h4> <p class="borderbottom">Member Details</p> <p class="details2">Currently Offline</p> <p class="details2">Join Date: Jul 2005</p> <p class="details2"></p> <p class="details2"></p> <p class="details2">Posts: 414</p> <p class="details2">Last Online: 08-28-2006 @ 09:01 AM</p> </td> </tr> </table>" class="jqt_postbit_tooltip_trigger" />

Will knock up a conditional for you. Though it'll have to be a little later, just been commanded into Sunday tea (big affair in the missus head )
