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 your forum's location is http://www.example.com/forums/, the root is /forums/)

2) Import the product XML file (product-pbcollapse.xml) into the Product Manager in AdminCP.

3) Go to ACP->Postbit Collapser->Postbit Display Order and set the fields you want displayed.

Be sure to save the options even if you don't make any changes.

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

I am so happy that you have solved my problem and I would also like at this point to say thank you for this!

Hello again nhawk, I think I found another bug. When changing pages on CMS (we have lots of articles) it just reloads the same page instead of the next page. Disabled it works properly.

I honestly don't know how that's possible because the collapser excludes itself from the vbcms script. And I don't have access to a site with a lot of articles to see what's happening.

Not now because I'll be logging out for the night soon, but in the morning, would you be willing to give me temporary admin access to your site so I can see what's going on?

If so, also include some specific links that it happens with so I can get right to the problem.

My apologies, it was pure coincedence that it fixed for a short time while disabled, now I am not getting that same result.

My site is very glitchy since the last upgrade a couple weeks ago and it's been a real pain to try to sort it out.

I use this template edit to hide signatures to guests for seo reasons

<vb:if condition="$show['member']">
				<vb:if condition="$post['signature']">
				<blockquote class="signature restore"><div class="signaturecontainer">{vb:raw post.signature}</div></blockquote>
				</vb:if>
			</vb:if>

This template edit doesn't hide the signature to guests when this modification is enabled even after adding this edit to these templates.


postbit_collapse_legacy:
postbit_collapse_postbit:
postbit_legacy:

Which template do I need to edit for this change to have an effect?

TIA.

It works on my site.

There's no reason it shouldn't work on yours.

Try clearing your browser cache. And if your server has any caching enabled, clear that too.

Yes it does.

Hey Thanks for this mod. Is it possible to add custom fields? (maybe vbexperience)
