Show Thread Enhancements - PS - Boxed Postbit Information & Centered Postbit

Please Mark As Installed!

Hello Everybody,

I thought I would share this here for everybody. This template modification will involve editing your postbit_legacy template. This will place the information displayed in the postbit such as the Post Count, Location, Join Date etc into boxes beneath the avatar to give the postbit a more professional look.

Live Demo

Below is how to do it.

1) In your AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Main CSS Options > Additional CSS place the following code:

.postinfo { 
	border-top: solid 1px #E0E0E0; 
	border-left: solid 1px #E0E0E0; 
	border-right: solid 1px #D7D7D7; 
	border-bottom: solid 1px #D7D7D7;
	margin: 3px 5px; 
	padding: 2px; 
	color: #808080; 
	background: #d2dee3;
	font-size: 10px; 
}

2) You should change the background colour to suit your style. Then click Save.

3) In your AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates > postbit_legacy find the following code:

For Join Date: (other Examples At The Bottom!)

<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>

4) Replace the relevant DIV tags as shown below.

<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div class="postinfo">$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>

5) Replace the revevant DIV tags for any other information you wish to be shown boxed.

Other Examples.

For Total Posts:

Find:

<div>
	$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
</div>

Replace With:

<div class="postinfo">
	$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
</div>

For Post Thank You Hack:

Find:

<tr><td class="alt1" colspan="3"><div>$post[post_thanks_bit]</div></td></tr>

Replace With:

<tr><td class="alt1" colspan="3"><div class="postinfo">$post[post_thanks_bit]</div></td></tr>

Screenshot Provided.

Update: I have added another file "centered postbit" to help make everything appear centralised like shown in the demo.

By The exact same look do you mean you want everything in the centre?

If not can you please explain further?

Thanks, Paul.

Thanks, Paul.

yes . everything in center and how to get the join date, locations, post, in position , is there some div to add in or select options in acp ?

thanks

In order to make everything in the postbit_legacy to appear centre i'm afraid it is not as simple of selecting an option in the AdminCP, you will have to edit the postbit_legacy.

I will put together another tutorial file to help make everything central and add it on.

Thanks, Paul.
