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

Reputation isn't handled well with this. Is there some way to include it with the rest of the fields?

Rep Power is included with the rest of the fields. And it can be moved around without any problems.

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.

Have any update for work on 4.1.10?

Sure, I've had the update running on a site that runs 4.1.10 for a while now to be sure there aren't any problems.

The update was released on my site today. It will follow here next week.

Thank you for this mod.

Could you imagine to add an option permitting to select if by default the postbit info is collapsed or not?

[cliff p.]

Not sure why (haven't really looked into it yet) but this mod isn't working for me OOTB.

-EDIT-

Just so I'm clear, it's not just modified styles, but all styles.

Check for mods that force the use of postbit_legacy..

This add-on will not work with any mod that forces the use of the standard vB postbit_legacy template

[cliff p.]

I saw that after I posted. Apologies. It was the DBTech Thanks/Like mod.

Love the idea, but when using it with the default template and horizontal (new) postbit, it removes everything but the user name and member level. All the fields on the right side disappear when it is enabled.

Could you post a screenshot of what you're talking about?

The attached screenshot is how it should look using the default postbit template. It shows the postbit info collapsed and expanded.

The postbit info should be hidden when it is collapsed. On some site, the postbit info is huge and takes up a lot of room. This mod hides it so it doesn't take up so much room.
