vB3 Pets

vB3 Pets v1.0
by AutomatikStudio and others

+What This Hack Does+
This hack gives your users the option to have their very own furry little pets. Posting on your boards is what keeps them alive!

+Installation+
+ Queries - 4
+ File edits - 3 files
+ Template Additions - 1
+ Template Edits - 2
+ Image Uploads

+UPDATE+
+Thanks to Link14716, your selections stay selected after your users save them in their profiles. The ZIP file has been updated with the new code. Or if you just want the code then check out THIS post.
+IF YOUR HACK HAS THE ANIMAL 'CATEPILLER' MAKE SURE YOU FIX THE SPELLING ERROR!! Silly me, I misspelled the word 'catepiller'. You need to update /includes/functions_showthread.php and the MODIFYPROFILE template from the word 'catepillar' to 'catepiller' with an E.

*Note: I no longer support this mod in any form or fashion. Please don't PM me with questions about it.

Added this and my members are already clamoring for Pokemon-esque battles lol

My users are wanting to spam this one thread to keep their pets healthy

But they do love the pets and would love a place for the pokemon type battle thing.

I do see the Pet info to fill out, i enter some info, and then press Save. Then i posted a test post to see if I see the pet graphic...but my post is just as if I didn't install the pet hack. SO I don't see the pet graphic or other info that is supposed to be in the post...I think it should show in the post, by my username or something..i don't see it there

This is my postbit template where i put that $vb3petsthreadbit variable:

<div>
$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
	$vb3petsthreadbit
<if condition="$show['reputation']">$post[reputationdisplay]</if>
					</div>

Thats correctly inputted are you sure you added all the code???

Did you actually create the new $vb3petsthreadbit template? And if you have several styles [vbulletin themes], you might have to add the variable to each of them and/or to the parent styles. If you're using postbit_legacy, might want to check that you've added it to that postbit template instead of the original.

We will include instructions on how to upgrade which shouldn't be hard to follow. And it could be a few weeks to a month before we release 2.0
