Replace User's Online Status Image with Text Equivalent

This is a pretty basic template change while will remove the online/offline status pips, and replace them with a Text status bar instead.

Edit the postbit_onlinestatus Template and replace the whole thing with:

<if condition="$onlinestatus==0"><div class="smallfont">Status: <font color="#BBBBBB"><b>Offline</b></font></div></if>
<if condition="$onlinestatus==1"><div class="smallfont">Status: <font color="green"><b>Online</b></font></div></if>
<if condition="$onlinestatus==2"><div class="smallfont">Status: <i><b>Invisible</b></i></div></if>

Remember, if you know what you're doing, you can replace the colours with ones that suit your forum's style.

Save that, then open the postbit or postbit_legacy Template (Whichever one you use.)

Find this and delete it:

$post[onlinestatus]

Then find:

<if condition="$show['reputation']">$post[reputationdisplay]</if>

Then add below:

$post[onlinestatus]

That's it, folks! Enjoy it, and the original idea came from Tony's vB3.0 mod.

Well, given it is simply text, I'd imagine viewing text stating your online, offline or invisible .

It simply replaces the online/offline images vBulletin uses by standard with that of basic text.

You can pretty much stick it where ever you want it to show up.

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for.

Installed. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Kind of off-topic: Can you do the same thing with reputation?

Instead of showing the image, show the specific number.
