Notice, This mod was configured on vB 4.2 Only!

Hey Guys, I have tried to make this to a Product, I must admit it was a bit harder than I expected, but I figured out if we could do this without changing the Default Template, and just add the code instead it will be a lot better, because then you have much more options to change Color of the Background, and choosing another Tip in different colors!

Example Image

So lets get started:

I will first add 2 Different codes for the Post Bubble! One with Sharp Corners, and the other one with Rounded Corners!

We will do this tutorial with the Sharp Cornered, And keep in mind that it has 2 Parts!

Now we need to find the POST Variable or POST Code in your Postbit_Legacy Template! We have to WRAP our code arround the code in the Postbit_Legacy, so every post will be showen inside the BUBBLE!

Step 1: Go to your ADMINCP area, Click on Styles & Templates, and now you will see your Template name, click on the DropDown Menu to the right of your Template, and choose Edit Template.

You should now be in the template area, now look for Postbit Templates, and then click on "postbit legacy" (This code is for Pos

Step 2: Find the code below inside the postbit legacy template.

Code to find:

<h2 class="title icon">
<vb:if condition="$show['messageicon']"><img src="{vb:raw post.iconpath}" alt="{vb:raw post.icontitle}" /> </vb:if>{vb:raw post.title}
</h2>
</vb:if>

Now, add our code PART 1: right below:

Code to add:

<div id="1" style="float:left; z-index: 1; position: Absolute;">
<br><img src="images/purple.png">
</div>
<div style="z-index: 25; padding: 11px;">
<fieldset style="background: #ffffff;
border:2px solid #9F54FF;
margin:1px 3px 3px 1px; padding:7px; 
-moz-border-radius: 11px;
border-radius: 8px;
box-shadow: 0 0 1em #9F54FF;
-webkit-border-radius:8px;
position: relative;">

Now in same Template, Find the last part of the code:

Code to Find :
<div id="post_message_{vb:raw post.postid}">
<blockquote class="postcontent restore ">
{vb:raw post.message}
</blockquote>
</div>


Now add the Part 2 of the code below to close our Wrapper:

Code to add below:

</fieldset>

And we are done, Now if you look up in our code, I have marked one of the lines with RED COLOR! Thats the PATH to the TIP your going to use! Now dont forget to upload one of the TIP Images in your forums "images" folder! If you dont know what the TIP is, then this is the TIP => Download the "Extras.zip" file that I have attached below, you will find all the images for the TIPS and also many diffrent codes and COLORS inside the file!

Follow the Tutorial Below for more and exact info! And make sure to Click on Installed, for further support or help!

Extra Tutorial & Changes


Ok I will now add both of the codes, basicly the full code to the Sharp and Round Cornered Post Bubble

Code 1 (Sharp Cornered)

<div id="1" style="float:left; z-index: 1; position: Absolute;">
<br><img src="images/purple.png">
</div>
<div style="z-index: 25; padding: 11px;">
<fieldset style="background: #ffffff;
border:2px solid #9F54FF;
margin:1px 3px 3px 1px; padding:7px; 
-moz-border-radius:8px;
box-shadow: 0 0 1em #9F54FF;
-webkit-border-radius:8px;
position: relative;"> POSTBIT CODE HERE </fieldset>

Code 2 (Round Cornered)

<div id="1" style="float:left; z-index: 1; position: Absolute;">
<br><img src="images/purple.png">
</div>
<div style="z-index: 25; padding: 11px;">
<fieldset style="background: #ffffff;
border:2px solid #9F54FF;
margin:1px 3px 3px 1px; padding:7px; 
-moz-border-radius: 11px;
border-radius: 8px;
box-shadow: 0 0 1em #9F54FF;
-webkit-border-radius:8px;
position: relative;"> POSTBIT CODE HERE </fieldset>

So the code is simple, all we did was we added the code from postbit legacy, inside OUR code! Where it says "POSTBIT COD HERE"!
I just explained it in 2 Parts:!

Now if you see I have marked the parts that can be edited with a color!



Red: Path to your TIP image
Blue: Post Bubble Background Color
Lime Green: Color for the Border
Orange: Post Bubble Shadow

Your bringing some nice stuff to V bulletin mate Keep up the great work as I hope there is many more like us who are loving it!!!

[ChiNa]

Thank you PRO, Amazing to hear it from someone like you mate! Glad to hear, And please let me know if you had any problem durring the installation, and it goes to any of my mods,,,

You keep up your amazing mood bro.. Thanks for commenting and your support!

[qpurser]

Thanks. Looks really nice.

Just a quick question:
In your extras.zip file you have 3 folders:

extras - Tips (Dark Theme) - Tips (Light Theme)

but then in the extras folder you have again Tips (Dark Theme) and Tips (Light Theme)
Are those just duplicates or do they have a different purpose?

[ChiNa]

Hi qpurser, Thanks for noticing, that was just an extra folder, somehow i have packed that too.. So if you notice there is a folder 3 Folders, Extras , Dark and Light theme, Just DELETE the folder EXTRAS folder!

I have now updated the Extras.zip!!

Thanks a lot Q, I dont want people to get confused, so use the Light and Dark folder in the front, and not in the EXTRAS folder, or just download the new package, so you dont get confused! And thanks for always clikcking install, this showes your support which I am greatfull to see!

[qpurser]

Welcome.
Really enjoy your mod's. They give that little extra touch to the looks of the forum.
As an example
Besides yours here I am using also another mod here called "thumbs up/down"
By placing his code into yours the display from the postings even got better as it was before.
Look at the screenshot:
