User Postbit Template Selection

I'm just getting back into the swing of things with vBulletin 3.5. Here's my first plugin being released (Others are still in progress).

What this does:
This allows users to select which postbit they wish to use via their control panel.

Installation
Upload the plugin and create a new user profile field by following the directions below.
Once you complete the top two steps you must edit the plugin and find: field5
Then change that to your user profile field number.

Add a New User Profile Field

Profile Field Type:
Single-Selection Menu

Title: Postbit Template Selection

Description:
If you prefer the old-style postbit, using two vertical columns rather than the new horizontal layout, you can switch back to using that template with this switch.

Options:
Horizontal Postbit
Vertical Postbit (Legacy)

Set Default:
Yes, but no First Blank Option

Display Order:
This is your choice.

Field Required:
No

Field Editable by User:
Yes

Private Field:
Yes

Field Searchable on Members List
No

Show on Members List
No

Allow user to input their own value for this option
No

The rest does not matter.

Well, nothings happening. My admin user's field6 is 'horizontal postbit'. Here's the code:

PHP Code:

global $vbulletin;
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field6'] == "Vertical Postbit (Legacy)")
{
$vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 1;
}
else if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field6'] == "Horizontal Postbit")
{
$vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 0;
} 


Our 3.5.3(with plugin security patch) is set to legacy by default.

Nothing happens.

Try this:

global $vbulletin;
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field6'] == 'Vertical Postbit (Legacy)')
	$this->templatename = 'postbit_legacy';
$vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 1;
else if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field6'] == 'Horizontal Postbit')
	$this->templatename = 'postbit';

You might want to reconsider those radio button labels though. Who except a VB geek is going to know what they mean?

[welo]

I've had this running in all 3.5.x versions. Works fine.

ok it works only when u have set in admin cp horizontal postbit by default, if in the admin cp post bit setting is vertical this mod doesnt change the postbig to horizontal

It doesn't work in my forum too, i've this Code in the Plugin System:

$fieldname = 'field8';

if ($_GET['postbit'] == 'Left') {
    $db->query('UPDATE ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'userfield SET ' . $fieldname .' = \'Vertical Postbit\' WHERE userid=' . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
    $vbulletin->userinfo['field8'] = 'Vertical Postbit';
}

if ($_GET['postbit'] == 'Top') {
    $db->query('UPDATE ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'userfield SET ' . $fieldname .' = \'Horizontal Postbit\' WHERE userid=' . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
    $vbulletin->userinfo['field8'] = 'Horizontal Postbit';
}

The other codes in this Thread doesn't work after all.

My field nr is 8, i've vb 3.5.4. I can choose between the two options but nothing happens...

Can anyone help me ?_?

How. I can't get this to work at all Legacy is my default, I notice your forum has this as default as well.

What code are you using? I am using:

global $vbulletin;
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field19'] == "Vertical Postbit (Legacy)")
{
$vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 1;
}
else if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field19'] == "Horizontal Postbit")
{
$vbulletin->options['legacypostbit'] = 0;
}
