Support
[hr]value[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

Make sure you upload the images to your styles misc directory. I can not assume what your directory would be named, so I have only included the default directory.

I got this installed but it's not showing on the posts display (postbit), only via Profile viewing.

I think I may have changed something in postbit and so it won't show (the option is selected).

Could you tell me what the code is to insert into postbit so I can do it manually where I want please?

Hopefully if you tell me that I will be able to learn more about deciphering xml files to do things like this on my own in future.

Cheers.

[Gryphon]

Go to to the options and disable auto insert the code for the postbit is shown there as well.

[spaceman33]

Got it, thanks.

I tried putting that into the showroster mod (elsewhere on this site) but nothing appears.

Are you able to offer any quick assistance to get this into there?

If not, nevermind.

Code in showroster_userbits is

<tr>
	<td class="$bgclass">
		$user[onlinestatus]&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$user[userid]">$user[musername]</a>
	</td>
	<td class="$bgclass" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">$user[usertitle]</td>
	<td class="$bgclass" nowrap="nowrap">$user[field9]</td>
	<td class="$bgclass" nowrap="nowrap">$wowchar_menu</td>
	<td class="$bgclass" nowrap="nowrap">$user[field9]</td>
	<td class="$bgclass" nowrap="nowrap">$user[field9]</td>
	<td class="$bgclass" nowrap="nowrap">$user[field9]</td>
	<td class="$bgclass" width="10%">$user[field9]</td>
	<td class="$bgclass" nowrap="nowrap">$user[lastonline]</td>
	<td class="$bgclass" align="center">$field9</td>

</tr>

if you're able to help.

Thanks for any given.

[Gryphon]

The code is only generated when the default posbit is displayed, trying to use it anywhere else will not work.

[spaceman33]

Ok thanks.

One day I'll get to know more than I do at the moment (which won't be too hard).

I have been busting my head with this... for a while today... No matter where I put it it wont show in Postbit. It works perfectly in Postbit legacy, but not in postbit.

I have made a test account for my site:

username: test
password: ecctest

www.excincin.com

Could you or anyone log in and tell me if it shows up for you? Its not showing and I have the Automatic thingy turned to No, and I have tried placing $wowchar_menu in different areas but it still doesnt work.

Any help will be appreciated.

Kildjean

PS. I have also not been able to make the images work either....

[Gryphon]

Looks like it is working, you need to upload the images to the misc folder specific to your style.

[Gryphon]

FYI: The Modify Member Profile option does not work with vBulletin 3.6.6 as of gWoWChar v1.10.

[ColossusCH]

i can confirm, in my 3.6.7, this module will not work
