[high]Useroption for Postbit Style, one file edit, WITH caching[/high]
Version: 1.00
vB-version: 3.0.0 Release Candidate 3
Developer: KuraFire
Install difficulty: 0
File edits: 1
Template edits: 0

Description of the Hack:
This tiny Hack will give your users the option to choose Postbit style, using only one file edit and maintaining perfect Template caching throughout the entire forum.

Unlike ge-force2k2's Hack, this one uses only one simple file edit while still making sure that the template is ALWAYS CACHED (including on announcement.php, which ge-force's hack doesn't do). It also uses the User Profile Field functionality to create the User Option, rather than hardcoding that (saves file edits, template edits and phrases).

Instructions are in the zip, in both .htl and .txt format (the latter is a preview of the HTL 1.1 Text File Generator!

).

ENJOY!

Not sure why but its not defaulting to Classic. In the profile edit, I've set the options:

Options:
Classic
Modern

Set Default:
Yes, but No First Blank Option

Even unregistered guests are getting the Modern style.

Would like some help on that to. I prefer to set the Classic as default, and only the modern as an option.

Thx in advance.

I had the same issue.

The default is classic for unregistered and new members, but not classic for existing members.

I know it's been a while since this hack was mentioned but I just installed it today... took under a minute and it works great with no visible preformance issues... thanks!

Just installed this on my 3.0.3 system and it doesn't work. I allways get the modern postbit.

Be sure you have changed field9999 to your actual field ID, this confused me at first but a quick look at the code quickly revealed the problem.

Thanks Ted. I got it working. My ftp client messed up and didn't overwrite the existing file. DOH! Works great now

I got the same error message - not just for this hack... for any hack to the functions page. I pinned it down to using Dreamweaver - for some reason I think it was saving it incorrectly. I opened functions.php in WordPad and edited the files that way - when uploaded it worked fine.

Hope that helps..

ps) excellent hack!!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
