Add-On Releases - jQt jQuery Suite for vB4

Completely Re-designed modular system, virtually all the code re-written.

Description:
This mod will add jQuery enhancements to various areas of your vBulletin board using the renown jQuery Tools Library.

jQuery Overlays:

• Separate Log-In and Registration Dialogues, Including Human Verify and D.O.B. but NOT required fields.
• OR Log-In / Register Slide-Down
• Log Out Dialogue
• Mark Forums Read Dialogue
• Mini-Stats
• Display Chat/Shout box in slide-down

Tooltips:

• vBAdvanced Recent Threads, including threadstarters avatar.
• Forum Display (threadbits), including threadstarters avatar.(upgraded)
• Postbit / Postbit_legacy, including avatar and post/activity details.
• Forum Home Description
• Search Results page (search_threadbit)

I now use and HIGHLY RECOMMEND TMS (Template Modification System) as it automates the template edits for the default theme and simplifies the edits for custom themes.


This is the first release of this re-designed mod. I have re-written these scripts to be far more compatible with other add-ons, using the <noconflict> method throughout.
I have used a 'modular' environment, meaning that you can select specifically the individual components you want to use. All of the modules are fully configurable from the AdminCP, and many of the style attributes are editable from the templates stylevar dialogue.

UPGRADE: from any previous version to this, v4.0 there is NO UPGRADE PATH, you need to fully remove earlier versions, then follow the instructions for installation. I am very sorry for this inconvenience, but so much has been changed that incorporating upgrading became untenable.

INSTALLATION:
1, Upload all the files/folders in the UPLOAD folder to your forum root.

2, Install the product 'product-jqt_suite-CORE.xml'. This is the only component that is COMPULSORY. This has to be installed for any of the others modules to work!

3, Install any of the other module(s) from the AdminCP, as you would any other product;
jQt Suite Log-In-Register Module
jQt Suite Log-In-Register Slider Module
(you can only use ONE of the above, the first is the overlay)
jQt Suite MarkForumsRead Module
jQt Suite MiniStats Module
jQt Suite Tooltips Module

4, If you have TMS (Template Modification System) installed the template edits have already been done for you.
If not, then manually apply the template edits from the template edit pages found in the Docs folder of the archive.
You only need to apply the template edits for the module(s) that you install.

5, Pop into your AdminCP and configure the product(s)

6, To enable the 'VSa Visitors in Last X Hours' block in the mini-stats you need to have that mod already installed (use the link) then edit the 'VSa - Visitors In Last X Hours' Product thus:
Go to AdminCP/Plugins & Products/Plugin Manager/
and disable the Plugin 'VSa - VILXH - MN'. This transfers the results from the forum home page to the mini-stats block.

TWEAKING TOOLTIP POSITION
For those of you that would like to tweak the position of the tooltips, here is a quote directly from the original jQuery Tools Tooltip documentation describing what the numbers mean.
Edit these positions by opening
/jqt_suite/jqt_suite_black_css.js
/jqt_suite/jqt_suite_minimal_black_css.js
or
/jqt_suite/jqt_suite_white_css.js
and finding the line(s) 'offset: [-44, 90],'

The offset property fine tunes the tooltip position specified with the position property. For example, the value [10, -20] moves the tooltip position 10px downwards and 20px to the left. The first value modifies the vertical positioning from the top edge of the tooltip and the second value modifies the horizontal positioning from the left edge of the tooltip. Positive values move the tooltip downward and to the right, while negative values move the tooltip upward and to the left.

For those that use vBSEO and have some trouble with guests viewing the tooltips, you can turn OFF the vBSEO option "Remove Thread Preview Text For Guest Visitors" to fix it.

All updates/future releases and support are now only available at jqt-suite.co.uk

That means if i translate i vis xml, i'll have only in one language?

[ramil86]

i should import it as a language file, by overwriting my original English language right?

Yes
It will only overwrite the defined phrases.
I'm a little new to the phrases/translation thing, so bare with me please.
I think that if you translate the phrases in the XML file I linked to, then change the highlighted name in the line:

<language name="English (US)" vbversion="4.0.0" product="jqt_suite" type="phrase">

to reflect your language, you can then import it to the appropriate language.
Please, anyone with more knowledge please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks a lot, i'll try

Dear gothicuser, i wonder if we can have it as a popup window when people visit our website, not when the click the register button. I really need such function, visitors will see the current jquery window right after they visit the web site. Is it possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[ramil86]

the popup will be with the condition if a registered or not, maybe after a while it'll close itself or will have to be closed by the user with X button. Is it possible?

Somebody else requested that. I will look into including that as an option I think.
Can't do much until Saturday, but watch this space.

I have a problem with this mode and the mode i installed before. My mod is "Latest Threads Ticker [jQUery] " https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=262910&page=7 . Both requires code insertion into navbar template. When i insert them together on of them does not function.

This is the code of the mode to enter at the end of navbar template

PHP Code:

<!--ticker-->
<div id="ticker-wrapper" class="no-js">
<ul id="js-news" class="js-hidden">
<script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/external.php?&type=js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
<!--
    for (var i = 0; i < threads.length; i++)
    {
        document.write('<li><a href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/showthread.php?t=' + threads[i]['threadid'] + '">' + threads[i]['title'] + '</a>' + '&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;' + '<span style="color: red;">Posted By:</span>'+ '&nbsp;' + threads[i]['poster'] + '</a>' + '</li>');
    }
//-->
</script>
</ul>
</div>
<!--ticker--> 


This is the code of your great mode to enter in navbar template

PHP Code:

{vb:raw template_hook.logreg_display}

I will install this other mod on my test devbox and see if I can find a way to make them play nicely together.
You may have to wait until Saturday though.
