What Styles are we All using

This is a small hack that will show each users current selected style in showthread. For a demo just follow one of my links in my forum (chins & quills) and find your way to a thread.

Open showthread.php and find:

attachment.attachmentid,attachment.filename,attachment.visible AS attachmentvisible,attachment.counter

add this after it on the same line

,style.title as styletitle

find this in showthread.php

LEFT JOIN user ON user.userid=post.userid

add this after it on the next line

LEFT JOIN style on (user.styleid = style.styleid)

open up the postbit template and place this where you like

Style: <a href='index.php?styleid=$post[styleid]'>$post[styletitle]</a></smallfont>

Link it to whatever you want.

Reason it doesn't work in the latest vB is because it returns NULL as the StyleID which reverts to 0. When looking at the styles table it starts out at 1 not zero so what i did was add another style (not user selectable) and edit the table directly and change the ID number to 0. Now it works. I just called the style Default.

This could be a side effect of running VBPortal with VBulletin. I think VBulleting's Default of 0 is the standard VB Style but 1 is VBPortal's Default..

any fix to the thing where clicking on the link doesn't update the style shown in your postbit?

Installed the hack on version 2.2.7 and I don't get any errors except that for some users the Style is not visible.

I used the latest version of the hack (the 1 where you had to replace / add 2 the same code.)

After you update the user (wich didn't show up in the threads) with the style (just hit save in Admin CP) the style is visible :surprised:

See the 2 screenshots below.

Hack worked fine UNTIL vB2.3.0 Final.

Now, in 2.3.0 final, when user selects "Use Default Style" in his UserCP, the postbit part doesn't display any style name.

^ Bump :nervous:

Could that be the same thing that is happening to me? Because there is no style showing up, look at my board: www.charmed-phoebe.com/forums

Would you be so kind as to tell us how?
No matter how hard I try, anyone selecting "Use forum default" appears blank.

To tell you, I have no idea what I did lol -- I just added the code or replaced it the two times it was in the template.

Just because I hate finding old hacks and not knowing if they work.... I just installed this on a VBPortal/ VB 2.3.0 site. I used the instructions posted here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=118

The only exception was that for the last part that gets inserted into the template I ended up using:

<smallfont>Theme: <a href='showthread.php?styleid=$post[styleid]&postid=$post[postid]&s=$session[sessionhash]#post$post[postid]'>$post[styletitle]</a><br>

This was because when I used the code originally listed it would dump me to a blank page. Other than that it installed in about 5 min. Great addon.
