Miscellaneous Hacks - Better Postbit Template

What does this do? Well it will fix that annoying lopsided postbit right template area and make it nice and neat!

First:
You will need to add a CSS variable in the additional CSS Definitons area in Styles - All Style Options - Scroll Down

Add this definition:

PHP Code:

.postbittop {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
color: #000000;
padding:7px 7px 7px 7px;
border: 1px dotted #E0E0E0;
width: 292px;
} 


Note these settings can be changed and adjusted to suit your needs

Next:
Find

PHP Code:

<td width="100%">&nbsp;</td>
            <td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> 


Directly Underneath Add

PHP Code:

<div class="smallfont">
                <div class="postbittop" align="right"> 


The align="right" will align your text inside the box. So change this accordingly.

What I'm saying is, we have one. Just do a Titles Only Search for FaceBook Status and it will be at the top of the list. It's a 3.7 add on.

The addon is called vbstatus: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/search.php?searchid=11175906

Back to the main topic:
Your code and also the example picture was very inspiring - it's the simple things that make the difference.

One question: what about the missing 2 closing tags:

</div>
</div>

Where do you put them? and why didn't you mention them even in your previous addon version?

[Emrah Kaya]

Very Nice.
Installed.

Don't forget you could also do things like put the signature in this box, or xbox live gamercard by inserting the code inside the div.

can you tell me where is this past?

<td width="100%">&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">

For example:

In the postbit template, find:

<div class="smallfont">
					<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>
					<if condition="$post['field2']"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>
					<if condition="$post['age']"><div>$vbphrase[age]: $post[age]</div></if>
					<div>
						$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
					</div>
					$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts]
					<if condition="$show['infraction']"><div>$vbphrase[infractions]: $post[warnings]/$post[infractions] ($post[ipoints])</div></if>
					<if condition="$show['reputation']"><if condition="$show['reppower']">$vbphrase[reppower]: <span id="reppower_$post[postid]_$post[userid]">$post[reppower]</span> </if><div><span id="repdisplay_$post[postid]_$post[userid]">$post[reputationdisplay]</span></div></if>
					$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right]
					<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div>
				</div>

replace by:

<div class="smallfont">
                <div class="postbittop" align="right">  
					<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>
					<if condition="$post['field2']"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>
					<if condition="$post['age']"><div>$vbphrase[age]: $post[age]</div></if>
					<div>
						$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
					</div>
					$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts]
					<if condition="$show['infraction']"><div>$vbphrase[infractions]: $post[warnings]/$post[infractions] ($post[ipoints])</div></if>
					<if condition="$show['reputation']"><if condition="$show['reppower']">$vbphrase[reppower]: <span id="reppower_$post[postid]_$post[userid]">$post[reppower]</span> </if><div><span id="repdisplay_$post[postid]_$post[userid]">$post[reputationdisplay]</span></div></if>
					$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right]
					<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div>
	</div>
</div>

Just wanted to throw a screenie of my new Postbit utilizing this mod.

[HighRollerX]

How do I change my font to be like the font in the second screen shot? Is that Verenda?

[Boosted Panda]

Make Veranda your first font.
