Show Thread Enhancements - PS - Boxed Postbit Information & Centered Postbit

Please Mark As Installed!

Hello Everybody,

I thought I would share this here for everybody. This template modification will involve editing your postbit_legacy template. This will place the information displayed in the postbit such as the Post Count, Location, Join Date etc into boxes beneath the avatar to give the postbit a more professional look.

Live Demo

Below is how to do it.

1) In your AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Main CSS Options > Additional CSS place the following code:

.postinfo { 
	border-top: solid 1px #E0E0E0; 
	border-left: solid 1px #E0E0E0; 
	border-right: solid 1px #D7D7D7; 
	border-bottom: solid 1px #D7D7D7;
	margin: 3px 5px; 
	padding: 2px; 
	color: #808080; 
	background: #d2dee3;
	font-size: 10px; 
}

2) You should change the background colour to suit your style. Then click Save.

3) In your AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates > postbit_legacy find the following code:

For Join Date: (other Examples At The Bottom!)

<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>

4) Replace the relevant DIV tags as shown below.

<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div class="postinfo">$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>

5) Replace the revevant DIV tags for any other information you wish to be shown boxed.

Other Examples.

For Total Posts:

Find:

<div>
	$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
</div>

Replace With:

<div class="postinfo">
	$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
</div>

For Post Thank You Hack:

Find:

<tr><td class="alt1" colspan="3"><div>$post[post_thanks_bit]</div></td></tr>

Replace With:

<tr><td class="alt1" colspan="3"><div class="postinfo">$post[post_thanks_bit]</div></td></tr>

Screenshot Provided.

Update: I have added another file "centered postbit" to help make everything appear centralised like shown in the demo.

Okay, so with VB 7.0 RC2 they have their own templates. I modified template: post_thanks_postbit_info

<if condition="$post[userid]">
<div class="postinfo">$vbphrase[post_thanks_thanks]: $post[post_thanks_user_amount_formatted]</div>
<div>
<if condition="$post[post_thanks_thanked_times] == 1">
$vbphrase[post_thanks_time_post]
<else />
<if condition="$post[post_thanks_thanked_posts] == 1">
<phrase 1="$post[post_thanks_thanked_times_formatted]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_times_post]</phrase>
<else />
<phrase 1="$post[post_thanks_thanked_times_formatted]" 2="$post[post_thanks_thanked_posts_formatted]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_times_posts]</phrase>
</if>
</if>
</div>
</if>

This worked for the "thanks" but i can not figure out the "thanked" one.

Theres also a template: post_thanks_postbit_legacy

<div style="padding:$stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px 0px 0px">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr valign="top">
<td class="alt2" width="175">
<if condition="$post['post_thanks_amount'] == 1">
<strong><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_user_says]</phrase></strong>
<else />
<strong><phrase 1="$post[post_thanks_amount_formatted]" 2="$post[username]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_users_say]</phrase></strong>
</if>
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6">
<br /><a href="post_thanks.php?do=post_thanks_remove_all&am p;p=$post[postid]"<if condition="$vboptions[disable_ajax] != 2"> onclick="post_thanks_remove_all($post[postid], <if condition="$vboptions['post_groan_integrate']">true<else />false</if>); return false;"</if> rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[post_thanks_remove]</a>
</if>
<if condition="$post['show_thanks_remove_option']">
<br /><a href="post_thanks.php?do=post_thanks_remove_user&a mp;p=$post[postid]"<if condition="$vboptions['disable_ajax'] != 2"> onclick="post_thanks_remove_user($post[postid], <if condition="$vboptions['post_groan_integrate']">true<else />false</if>); return false;"</if> rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[post_thanks_remove_user]</a>
</if>
</td>
<td class="alt1"><div>$post[post_thanks_bit]</div class="postinfo"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

and a template: post_thanks_postbit

<div style="padding:$stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px 0px 0px">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt2" style="padding:0px">
<if condition="$post['post_thanks_amount'] == 1">
<strong><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_user_says]</phrase></strong>
<else />
<strong><phrase 1="$post[post_thanks_amount_formatted]" 2="$post[username]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_users_say]</phrase></strong>
</if>
</td>
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6">
<td class="alt2" style="padding:0px" align="right" nowrap="nowrap">
<a href="post_thanks.php?do=post_thanks_remove_all&am p;p=$post[postid]"<if condition="$vboptions['disable_ajax'] != 2"> onclick="post_thanks_remove_all($post[postid], <if condition="$vboptions['post_groan_integrate']">true<else />false</if>); return false;"</if> rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[post_thanks_remove]</a>
</td>
</if>
<if condition="$post['show_thanks_remove_option']">
<td class="alt2" style="padding:0px" align="right" nowrap="nowrap">
<a href="post_thanks.php?do=post_thanks_remove_user&a mp;p=$post[postid]"<if condition="$vboptions['disable_ajax'] != 2"> onclick="post_thanks_remove_user($post[postid], <if condition="$vboptions['post_groan_integrate']">true<else />false</if>); return false;"</if> rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[post_thanks_remove_user]</a>
</td>
</if>
</tr>
<tr><td class="alt1" colspan="3"><div>$post[post_thanks_bit]</div class="postinfo"></td></tr>
</table>
</div>
