Social Group and Album Enhancements - Social Group Icons in Postbit

This plugin displays the icon for all social groups a user belongs to in the postbit.

To Install:
Add this product as you would any other vBulletin product.
Admin -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product

After it is installed, enable it by going to
Admin -> Settings -> Options -> Redinkdesign - Group Icons in Postbit -> Enable
Select if you want public, invite only and/or moderated icons to show up
To set the default icon for social groups which gets displayed if the group doesn't have an icon, you'll need to set the stylevar "usefilegroupicon". It should be set by default, but you should update it for your specific theme.

A live demo can be found at http://www.b15u.com

Sort of defeats the purpose no? But yes, I'll be adding a default image if none has been uploaded in the next couple weeks.

Yes maybe usergroup permission who can see the private group icon.

Maybe with a more... to see the others.

Hello,

Problem if a deleted account is in a thread = database error

Exemple : you delete an user, the possbit display "visitor" in the thread BUT when you want to see the thread = database error

I have desactivated the module, i'm waiting for a correction if possible.

Bug: Private Messages in the inbox

My group icons are being displayed under the senders userinfo instead of their group icons.

Any updates to this?

[redinkdesign]

Sorry guys, no updates yet, just been busy with life for the past few months. I'm not abandoning this though as it's being used on my own personal forum and the features requested are pretty important for my site as well. As soon as things settle down, I will implement the changes. If anyone wants to make changes to the code, you're more than welcome to https://github.com/redinkdesign/Soci...ons-in-Postbit

[redinkdesign]

Updated. I added no icon support and you can now select to show icons for private and moderated groups.
