style name in postbit 0.3

this is my implementation of the hack used here that shows what style each one is using under their usernames

it will only show the style if the user chose something else then "default style" in the usercp.

also this wont show styles choosen with the "quick style chooser", because those are stored in cookies and not in the database. if you logoff your style is resetted to the one in the usercp.

Installation
- Upload and activate "style name in postbit.xml" plugins
- Put this where you want it to appear

<if condition="$post['styleid'] != 0"><div class="smallfont">Style: <a href="{$GLOBALS[vbulletin]->scriptpath}&styleid=$post[styleid]">$post[styletitle]</a></div></if>

works with: beta 3, beta 4

Idea to avoid the query caused by cache_styles:

showthread_start

PHP Code:

foreach ($vbulletin->stylecache AS $parentid => $parentstyles)
{
    foreach ($parentstyles AS $displayorder => $styles)
    {
        foreach ($styles AS $idx => $selstyle)
        {
            $stylecache["$selstyle[styleid]"] =& $vbulletin->stylecache["$parentid"]["$displayorder"]["$idx"];
        }
    }
}

Use this plugin in showthread_query

$hook_query_fields .= ",style.title";
$hook_query_joins .= " LEFT JOIN style AS style ON(user.styleid = style.styleid)";

Then in the postbit template just do

<if condition="$post['styleid'] != 0"><div class="smallfont">Style:
$post[title]
</div></if>

That's working for me now. Going to toy with it a bit more to clean it up and make it a clickable link that will change the style of the user and such, but that seems to be a good skeleton.

EDIT - okay, it needs a lil bit of tweaking LOL, in PMs it shows your style as the title of the pm hehehee.

Admincp -> plugin system -> download / upload plugins

Scroll to the bottom, Click browse, select the xml in the first post, click import

now

admincp -> plugin system -> plugin manager

scroll down to "Hook Location : showthread_start" - "Styles in Postbit" and click Edit for that one.

Replace all the code in the "PHP Plugin Code" box with Andreas code above.

Click save.

Do the template edit.

Tada
