Mini Mods - Web Browser of Choice - In Postbit

Howdy hi - This is a simple template modification that will show your Members' browser of choice in their postbit... The choices (matching images included) I have included are Internet Explorer, Konqueror, Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox, Safari, Camino, Opera & Flock web browsers. Of course there is the option to select "Other" as well.

This simple mod should be able to work with any of the 3.x series vBulletin....



INSTRUCTIONS ----------------

### Step 1 ###

Upload the included "browser" folder to your forum images folder
** Don't change the image file names **


### Step 2 ###

Create a new custom profile field:
AdminCP --> User Profile Fields --> Add New User Profile Field
Select Single-Selection Menu...

Fill in the following options:

• Title: Web Browser of Choice
  
  
• Description: Please select the browser you most surf the internet with (aka your web browser of choice).
  
  
• Options: (List below - One option per line - Order doesn't matter)

  Internet Explorer
  Konqueror
  Netscape
  Mozilla
  Firefox
  Safari
  Camino
  Opera
  Flock
  Other

• Set Default: Yes - but No First Blank Option
  
  
• Field Editable by User: Yes
  
  
• Allow user to input their own value for this option: No
  
  
• Which page displays this option? Edit Profile

Click the save button.


### Step 3 ###

Edit your postbit and/or postbit_legacy template:
AdminCP --> Style Manager --> (select your style) Edit Templates --> Postbit Templates --> postbit OR postbit_legacy

Find:

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

Underneath - Add:

<if condition="$post[fieldX]">
<div>$post[username] Surfs The Web With: <img src="images/browser/$post[fieldX].gif" align="middle" title="$post[username] Surfs With The $post[fieldX] Web Browser." width="17" height="15" border="0"></div>
</if>

** Be sure to fill in the [fieldX] with the field number of your newly created profile field - for instance if the profile field name is field17 - Then the above code would include $post[field17] for each time it appears **

Oops - forgot to include the Safari.gif image - I attached it to the 1st post - so you can just save it to your local computer as Safari.gif (capital "S") and upload it to the images/browser folder.
