Great add on Spermy ... that works really well for us who are using postbit legacy and i like the feature that only admin is allowed to use it

Also kudo for Atakan KOC on creating this mod!

For those that want just postbit for default.


1. In the postbit_select template

Default

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="fieldset">
<tr>
<td>
$vbphrase[cp_ttype]:<br />
<select name="ttype" tabindex="1">
<option value="1">Postbit Article</option>
<option value="2">Postbit Flipped</option>
<option value="3">Postbit Normal</option>
<option value="4">Postbit Legacy</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Change to

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="fieldset">
<tr>
<td>
$vbphrase[cp_ttype]:<br />
<select name="ttype" tabindex="1">
<option value="1">Postbit Normal</option>
<option value="2">Postbit Flipped</option>
<option value="3">Postbit Article</option>
<option value="4">Postbit Legacy</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

2. In Chief Post - Postbit Display Complete Plugin

Default

if ($this->forum['chiefpost']==1 AND $post['postid']==$this->thread['firstpostid'])
{
switch ($this->thread['ttype'])
{
case 1: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_articles';
break;
case 2: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_flipped';
break;
case 3: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit';
break;
case 4: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_legacy';
break;
default:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_articles';
break;
}
}

Change to

if ($this->forum['chiefpost']==1 AND $post['postid']==$this->thread['firstpostid'])
{
switch ($this->thread['ttype'])
{
case 1: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_legacy';
break;
case 2: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_flipped';
break;
case 3: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit';
break;
case 4: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_articles';
break;
default:
$this->templatename = 'postbit';
break;
}
}

And i added <if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6)"> at the begining In the postbit_select template and </if> at the end so only Admins can use this.

Hope this helps you guys using normal postbit.

Great hack! I hope you improve it soon!

Ok, what am I missing? I installed as instructed with the plugin manager, and nothing changed with how the threads were handled? I can start a new thread as usual, with nothing added like stated in the first post...am I suppose to modify all the templates manually?

[JulianD]

I have some comments:

Only Postbit article and Postbit flipped works. By default I'm using postbit legacy and when I choose Postbit Normal it doesn't change to Normal postbit.

Any suggestion

[AzaDiyaR]
