Common Questions and Answers to vB3

Thanks Zack...yea... I figured out that I could move the if statement for the rank above the avatar one and that will make them switch places, but getting the rank to appear to the right of the avatar is a whole nuther matter, and is defo beyond my coding skills.

in the postbit or postbit_legacy templates

[Illuvatar]

Well...thanks folks!! The Legacy bit works great!

Except now, the Rank indicator appears above the users avatar instead of beside it like the old Lesane Awards hack did!

Can the location of where the rank is displayed be manipulated?

Thanks!

Q11. How Can I change my postbit to look like vBulletin 2

A11. ACP > vBulletin Options > Style & Language Settings * > Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template > YES
*(RC2 and lower, it is in Thread Display Options (showthread) )


-Here's my silly question. If you elect to use this postbit template, does that mean that the index page will just look like the latest version of 2.0, or does that mean everything [for example, inside the individual threads, the way the posts are set up so all the little icons for website, profile, etc] will be the same?

No, just the postbit


Ashkartia: memberinfo template

where is the profile template located? I want to check a difference between the avatar border in my profile and in my postbit because it's working how I want it to in the profile but NOT in the postbit, so I'm trying to figure out why.

anyone???

[Charlie Argueta]

Thanks.

[Zachery]

Yes, both are usergroup permissions

Hi Zachery

Just a preinstall question, the vB3 has an option to don't allow avatars and signatures to specific usergroups? or I need hacking?

See Ya

You haven't created the phrase 'first_name' it seems. Either just hardcode it there or add a new phrase.

But how to find an existing phrase for "$post['fieldX'] ???

For example, I added the "$post['fieldX'] condition for the: "Where you live" field. Now, how can I find it in the phrases?

If at least I would know the "phrase type" from for example "$vbphrase[join_date]" it would be much easier to find.

I am trying to get the style to show of the user that is posting to show in postbit. But have had no luck. Has anyone had luck with this?
