Show Thread Enhancements - Skin view - show skin in postbit

As requested, this plug-in shows what skin users are using in their postbit.

The variables are as follows:
$post[stylename] - The style name, eg. Smooth Blue
$post[styleid] - The style ID, eg. 13 (it's unlikely that you'll need this)
$post[styleurl] - The URL to the style, eg. /forum/showthread.php?t=133805&styleid=13
$post[stylelink] - A link to the style and the style name, eg. Smooth blue

The recommended code to put in your postbit/postbit_legacy templatebit is:

Style: $post[stylelink]

If you don't wish to have the skin name link to the skin, use:

Style: $post[stylename]

Please note: Due to the default behaviour of vBulletin, this will only show the skin set in the user's options, and not the skin chosen from the "Quick Style Chooser". You can fix this by installing this plug-in (highly recommended).

Update: If you also want it in the profile, please check out Xplorer4x4's moderation of this plug-in.

You're free to do what you like with this code, although credit is appreciated, it's not required.

be sure to keep a backup before editing any file

Thanks a bunch, that is exactly what I needed.

(thanks Bison, too).

Mine still not working.

I've uninstalled both of these hacks. They do not work together properly and if you install the second hack over this one, this hack won't work either.

If you haven't installed the Style Chooser hack yet, I suggest that you don't.

I know there are problems, and I will fix them, but I'm way too busy at the moment.

I will watch this hack and the other with interest.

I am unable to replicate Bison's bug, so I cannot fix it.

Invalid ID, that's not a bug. All you need to do is put the code under the code for your reputation. Make sure you're editing the right postbit.

I've put it through extensive testing on localhost and cannot find any bugs with it.

Both are working correctly now since he updated the quick style chooser updates settings mod.

I tested them by changing my style with the quick style chooser, logging out, logging in as a test account, and verifying it didn't get forced to the different style and then logging out and logging back in with the main account and verifying it displayed the style selected

Great job!!!

About time someone fixed what I have always felt was a bug/poor design in vbulletin.

Has the hack been updated?

i have a weird problem, after installing this hack (and the other one related to this) i get alot of comment from members that the style randomly changes from now and then while browsing the forum. I've had it a few times myself as well now... any idea on this one?
