What style are we all using?

NOTE: Make sure all your styles have different display orders (only if they are in the same grouping). For instance, don't have 2 styles each with the display order of '1' otherwise this hack will just show 'Style: ' and no style shown.

This hack will show each users current selected style when viewing a post.
If you want to see how this looks, take a look at the screenshot attached.

The style system is a little more complex than the vBulletin 2 one, but it's still pretty simple and straightforward.

My apologies if this has already been released! I must also note that all of this code is original, meaning I made it all myself, I didn't look at someone else's code if anyone was wondering, so that we don't play the 'blame game' later on.

NOTE: For those who are wondering, this hack adds NO EXTRA QUERIES to your pages! Meaning the load and processing time are about the same as usual, they don't change much

Okay anyhow, here we go:

Instructions

Open includes/functions_showthread.php and find

PHP Code:

    static $gotrank, $sigcache, $sigperms, $gotage, $month, $day, $year, $counter; 

Above, add:

PHP Code:

    global $stylechoosercache, $vbphrase; 

Find

PHP Code:

    eval('$retval = "' . fetch_template($maintemplatename) . '";'); 

Above add

PHP Code:

    // check what style the user is viewing
    if (!$post['styleid'])
    {
        $post['style'] = '(' . $vbphrase['not_specified'] . ')';
    }
    else
    {
        // loop thru the $stylechoosercache to see which style the user is using, has to loop thru a few times
        foreach ($stylechoosercache as $parentstyle)
        {
            foreach ($parentstyle as $innerstyleid)
            {
                if ($innerstyleid[0]['styleid'] == $post['styleid'])
                {
                    $post['style'] = '<a href="' . $vboptions['forumhome'] . '.php?' . $session['sessionurl'] . 'styleid=' . $post['styleid'] . '">' . $innerstyleid[0]['title'] . '</a>';
                    continue;
                }
            }    
        }
    } 

Open the postbit template (or postbit_legacy if you're using old-style postbits) and find

					<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon]</div>

Above, add

					<!-- user forum style -->
<div>$vbphrase[style]: <if condition="$post[style] == '$vbphrase[not_specified]'"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?styleid=$vboptions[styleid]">Default Style</a><else />$post[style]</if></div>
					<!-- / user forum style -->

Now add the following phrase:

Phrase Type: GLOBAL

Title: not_specified
Text: not specified

Title: style
Text: Style

All done!
