Show Thread Enhancements - Postbit Collapser/Arranger

THIS ADD-ON IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IS NOT SUPPORTED

This add-on makes the text portion of postbits collapsable and allows the selection and arranging of what profile fields will be displayed in postbits.


Features

• Select which profile fields to display in postbits.
• Select which standard vB fields to display in postbits.
• Set the order that the fields will be displayed in.
• Detects new profile fields and adds them to the postbit order display for selection.
• Detects deleted profile fields and removes them from the postbit order display.
• Does not add any database queries to the vB frontend.
• Adds Local Date and Local Time options to the available fields.
• Detects and adds Photopost Gallery option to the available fields.
• Does not affect mods that add to the proper postbit hooks, but those items can not have their order changed.
• Support for other mods to add their postbits to this add-on so the order they are displayed in can be changed.
• After editing a post or posting a quick reply, the entire postbit for that post is shown to the member that edited/posted the post.

NOTE: This add-on contains the Local Date/Time code by the late Rob Hindal (Boofo). If a large number of people think this should be removed from this mod I will remove it.

This add-on will not work with any mod that forces the use of the standard vB postbit_legacy template, or with any mod that requires manual editing of the postbit templates.

Known Mods that do this:

1. [DBTech] Advanced Post Thanks Like v3.0.3 [Lite] (Due to double Blog This Post link)
2. Info box on Postbit (may work with edits to that mod)
3. Country Flags - Postbit & Postbit_Legacy. vB 4.0.x (Inc GO : (Due to manual edits)

A live demo of this can be seen on my site: http://snogssite.com


* INSTALLATION *
-----------------------
1) Upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to your forum's root.
(If your forum's location is http://www.example.com/forums/, the root is /forums/)

2) Import the product XML file (product-pbcollapse.xml) into the Product Manager in AdminCP.

3) Go to ACP->Postbit Collapser->Postbit Display Order and set the fields you want displayed.

The Postbit Collapser will be in the Thread & Posts area of the ACP Menu
Be sure to save the options even if you don't make any changes.

4) Go to ACP->Postbit Collapser->Collapser Settings and turn the system on.

If you want to use a different graphic for the expand/collapse button in postbits change these buttons:

Can you update on my requests ?

Please Try to add option !

1. Postbit Collapser First Post in Thread
2. Use Collapser Postbit In These Forums
3. Use Collapser Postbit In These Threads
4. Auto-Collapse (This setting controls whether the bars added to the postbit should be expand/collapse by default)

[nhawk]

I do not think I will do any of those.

The purpose of this mod is to make the postbit area as compact as possible while still leaving the graphic information above the text area complete in all forums, threads and posts.

To add those defeats the purpose of the mod.

Postbit Collapser/Arranger <-- Great Mod

FYI
I have noticed that the

postbit_collapse_legacy

does not pick up any changes to the

postbit_legacy

. This mod...Info box on Postbit See here post #119

If you set 'Automatic Entry Into The Template' to 'Yes' in that mod, it shows properly. There's no need to add any code to the postbit_collapse_legacy template. (tested with version 4.1.4 of that mod)

EDIT: Discovered it only partially works. Added that mod to the list of known mods that force the use of postbit_legacy

[Mr_Running]

Sorted.

Roll back to the last version you had until I can find out why it's not working.

Actually I know why it's not working. vB 4.1.10 does not detect the mobile style the same way as vB 4.2.0. I need to see if I can make it work in both versions.
