PostBit Profile Drop Down

PostBit Profile Drop Down

What does it do?

Allows you to display profile fields in a pull down vB menu in the postbit.

Features

• Neatens up the postbit, you don't have to have loads of info listed.
• Will work on other vBulletin 3 versions. (Untested, but I see no reason why it shouldn't given that this particular part of the template to be used hasn't been changed).
• Versatile. There are other uses you can use this for other than displaying profile fields. (not supported).
• It's tested and it works.

How long will it take to set up?

About 10 minutes.

Difficulty

Easy - Rather Irritating

Skill Level Required

Modest. Experience.

Instructions

STEP 1

Copy and paste this into Notepad:

<!-- more info menu -->
<if condition="$post[fielda] OR $post[fieldb] OR $post[fieldc] OR $post[fieldd] OR $post[fielde]">
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="infomenu_$post[postid]_menu"  style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2">More Information</td>
</tr>
    <if condition="$post['fielda]">
    <tr>
    <td class="thead">Gender</td>
    <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">$post[fielda]</td>
    </tr>
    </if>
    <if condition="$post['fieldb']">
    <tr>
    <td class="thead">Mood</td>
    <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">$post[fieldb]</td>
    </tr>
    </if>
    <if condition="$post['fieldc']">
    <tr>
    <td class="thead">Interests</td>
    <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">$post[fieldc]</td>
    </tr>
    </if>
    <if condition="$post['fieldd']">
    <tr>
    <td class="thead">Hero(s)</td>
    <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">$post[fieldd]</td>
    </tr>
    </if>
    <if condition="$post['fielde']">
    <tr>
    <td class="thead">Real Name</td>
    <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">$post[fielde]</td>
    </tr>
    </if>
    <if condition="$post['fieldf']">
    <tr>
    <td class="thead">Occupation</td>
    <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">$post[fieldf]</td>
    </tr>
    </if>
</table>
</div>
</if>
<!-- / more info menu -->

STEP 2

Make a note of the profile option ID of the fields you wish to use in the menu.

I have used examples such as 'fielda' in the code, change this to 'field2' etc. with 2 being the ID of the profile field. Go through all the code and makesure all are amended.

STEP 3

<td class="thead">Occupation</td>

Amend instances of these (Occupation) to match the name of the corresponding profile fields.

STEP 4

In postbit or postbit_legacy, find:

<!-- / post $post[postid] popup menu -->

and below it copy and paste the code from Notepad.

STEP 5

Copy and pase this into Notepad:

<if condition="$post[fielda] OR $post[fieldb] OR $post[fieldc] OR $post[fieldd] OR $post[fielde]">
<div id="infomenu_$post[postid]">
<a href="#infomenu_$post[postid]">More Info</a>    <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("infomenu_$post[postid]", true); </script>
</div>
</if>

Like you did before, change 'fielda' etc. appropriatley.

STEP 6

Copy and paste this to the area of the postbit you would like it to appear.
