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.

The Postbit Collapser will be in the Thread & Posts area of the ACP Menu
Be sure to save the options even if you don't make any changes.

4) Go to ACP->Postbit Collapser->Collapser Settings and turn the system on.

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

I don't add other mods to this one, it is up to the authors of the other mods if they want to add their fields to the postbit collapser. The instructions to do this are in the Programmers_ReadMe.txt file.

Good mod and nice support. Installed + MOTM!

Hello again nhawk. I am a big fan of your mod! I recently decided to add the pinterest system modification to one of my forums. I have it installed on another one of my forums as well.

On both forums I am running the same exact modifications. But for some reason, if I have the postbit collapser on, it deletes both the pinterest button and facebook button. It will not show anything at all if I revert the template without the fb like button either.

Any ideas on how I can run your mod along with that one?

I currently have your mod turned off:

Postbit collapser uses it's own templates.

You need to do the manual edits BOP5 describes to the postbit_collapse_legacy, or postbit_collapse_postbit templates.

Yes I did that. For some reason if I turn off your mod it works. I do remember when installing on my other site that I currently have it working on I did run into a major setback and somehow I solved it. Too bad I cannot remember.... but it was probably 6 months ago or longer.

hello! this mod removes vbseo LIKE and SHARE buttons from message body.

Any chance to add them there back?

UPD: Anyone who has same issue here is my fix:
1. In you AdminCP -> Plugins and Products -> Plugin Manager find Product Plugin: Postbit Collapser -> Change Postbit Template hit [Edit] link find all instances of postbit_collapse_legacy and replace it to postbit_legacy
2. Go to AdminCP -> Styles and Templates -> Style Manager and in your style chose Edit templates and replace ALL code in postbit_legacy template with code from postbit_collapse_legacy

May be developer can give better solution but for now this is quick fix.

And yes don't forget to backup your postbit_legacy template before applying this as this may be not work on your style...

Thanks

Unfortunately the collapser uses it's own template to prevent overwriting the default vB templates.

What you've done will work, but I wouldn't suggest it. Besides, vBSEO is dead. It's not even being sold anymore.
