Show Ban Time in Postbit · **Released**: 09-25-2007

This hack is in response to a request by Breathex in thread https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=155474

What this hack will do is display the time remaining on a banned user right underneath the user title in the postbit.
This helps your forum members keep track of what's going on with their fellow members.
This feature may be set to:

Public (both guests and registered members will see the time remaining info)
Registered members only
Admins, supermods, and mods only

To set these options, go to the vBulletin options section and select 'Show Ban Time Options' from the drop down menu.

To Install:

1). Import the product via the Admin CP
2). Modify your 'postbit' and/or 'postbit_legacy' templates as per instructions in the readme text file
3). Done!

Revisions:

version 1.1
Added the ability to limit this feature to admins and moderators.
If not limited, then you may also select whether you wish to allow unregistered users (guests) to view this feature.

version 1.2
Now ensures code is only included when called from within 'showthread.php' or 'showpost.php'.
Do not forget to select 'Allow Overwrite' when re-importing this product.

version 1.3
Fixed error when poster is an unregistered user

Cheers,
FullyTested

If a user is banned permanently. Will it just say Ban Time: Permanent or something of that nature?

Currently it says "Ban is Permanent!", but since its a phrase you can easily change it to whatever you want.
