Stylename (and Stylecounter) Modification v1.0.3.1

Note: This module has been changed to 1.0.3 since these were basically bugfixes.

Greetings, these are simple hacks made by me that show what stylename a user is using. Stylecounter module has been removed while I revise it to do a few things you guys requested!

The stylename hack adds 0 queries and will adjust for:
- Child and parent styles, including 'use forum default styles'
- Will account for the current user (the one in the $bbuserinfo array) and which temp style he/she is using.
- Same display orders (display order doesn't even matter...)

Thanks go out to gnu- and cinq. The former for pointing out some odd little mistakes I made in cyphering the stylechoosercache with child and parent styles that I ignored (sorry!) and the latter for contributing a screenshot.

I'm sorry for the hassle I caused some of you who installed, please know that when I did so, I was under duress from other issues and I did not account for a few things that I thought I had. Makes me look like a fool, sure... but since I corrected this basically.... a day, I don't expect to be treated harshly. (Be kind!)

Update: v1.0.3.1
- Added optional instructions on how to make QuickStyleChanges permanent for logged-in users.

Heh, I have no idea what I was thinking before -.-

Just wondered that are you ever going to implement that everyone would see everyones quickly changed styles too

Just because that, that you see your own style doesn't help so much

[Hellspire]

I was thinking about it. Perhaps later this week!

Quick Changer works like a charm, just what I was looking for, thank you

[Hellspire]

GNU- (or anyone for that matter) I am at work right now and really can't check, so if you have time check this out for me:

It occurred to me that forum specific style overrides may simply update $bbuserinfo['styleid'] in which case, that would be updated as the main style.

Lacking the means to check, I can't really say that it does this, and I believe it doesn't. Meh.

ok i have vb3.0.7. I installed both the quick style perminat and the style in postbit completely par directions to the letter.

Quick style works perfectly! Great job.

The style in postbit doesn't work just right. It shows the phrase Style in the postbit, but not the style the person is using. It is totaly blank. I have my styles set up as one parent (a default style) the others are children of it. They all have unquie style id numbers and names.

Any clue why it isn't showing a style for anyone?

Yeah I am a total novice at installing hacks, so please feel free to tell me if it is something stupid I am looking over.

You probably pasted something in the wrong space, most likely in showpost.php or showthread.php. Most likely what is happening is that you are setting the value of post['def_style'] AFTER it has already been sent. Please double check that you have placed everything in the proper spot.

Thanks. I see my problem. I added something after instead of before a particular line of code. Thanks.

very very nice....this is just what was needed. get job m8.

can you incorporate something like style stats for admins where admin can see what style the people are using on forums.(from admincp) for one thing it may help to scrap some defunct themes. if possible....

[Hellspire]

Perhaps next week when I have time. Since you are an installee, you will receive an update on these hacks if I decide to do one.
