Show Thread Enhancements - Postbit Collapser/Arranger

THIS ADD-ON IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IS NOT SUPPORTED

This add-on makes the text portion of postbits collapsable and allows the selection and arranging of what profile fields will be displayed in postbits.


Features

• Select which profile fields to display in postbits.
• Select which standard vB fields to display in postbits.
• Set the order that the fields will be displayed in.
• Detects new profile fields and adds them to the postbit order display for selection.
• Detects deleted profile fields and removes them from the postbit order display.
• Does not add any database queries to the vB frontend.
• Adds Local Date and Local Time options to the available fields.
• Detects and adds Photopost Gallery option to the available fields.
• Does not affect mods that add to the proper postbit hooks, but those items can not have their order changed.
• Support for other mods to add their postbits to this add-on so the order they are displayed in can be changed.
• After editing a post or posting a quick reply, the entire postbit for that post is shown to the member that edited/posted the post.

NOTE: This add-on contains the Local Date/Time code by the late Rob Hindal (Boofo). If a large number of people think this should be removed from this mod I will remove it.

This add-on will not work with any mod that forces the use of the standard vB postbit_legacy template, or with any mod that requires manual editing of the postbit templates.

Known Mods that do this:

1. [DBTech] Advanced Post Thanks Like v3.0.3 [Lite] (Due to double Blog This Post link)
2. Info box on Postbit (may work with edits to that mod)
3. Country Flags - Postbit & Postbit_Legacy. vB 4.0.x (Inc GO : (Due to manual edits)

A live demo of this can be seen on my site: http://snogssite.com


* INSTALLATION *
-----------------------
1) Upload the contents of the 'upload' folder to your forum's root.

If you want to use a different graphic for the expand/collapse button in postbits change these buttons:

Now that's odd, my reply to your post comes up before your post. Hmm..

Anyway, I would have to see what you're talking about. Can you send a link to your site?

I have a feeling it's another mod forcing the use of the standard templates.

[Lightmaster-AH]

I know it. Maybe it didn't work in the postbit, cause my members could select what kind of contributory view they want. In the postbit legacy all looks good, but when they select the postbit the collapser didn't work.

Any idea?

[Lightmaster-AH]

send you a pm

thanks for help!

Are you running any of these mods?

1.[DBTech] Advanced Post Thanks Like v3.0.3 [Lite] (Due to double Blog This Post link)
2.Info box on Postbit (may work with edits to that mod)
3.Country Flags - Postbit & Postbit_Legacy. vB 4.0.x (Inc GO : (Due to manual edits)

For everyone's benefit, the problem Lightmaster-AH was having was caused by DBTech's Post Thanks/Like mod. It doesn't take a regular postbit template being used into account, it only accounts for postbit_legacy.

I would have to see if another mod is interfering with postbit collapser in your admin area.

If you want me to take a look at it, send me a pm with temporary admin username and password to your site.

Or, you can turn off your other mods one at a time until you find which one is causing the problem.

It is showing now, wasn't earlyier. (weird a few mods have done this recently)

It is not showing in the first post of a thread.

Could the keep first post at the top of every thread be interferring?

Any ideas how to add it to the first post?

Thanks

If is possible that a mod that keeps the first post at the top of the thread is causing the collapser not to display on that post. The way to find out is to disable the mod that keeps the first post at the top of the thread.
