Thread Editing

[phatsingh]

Problem 1: Hey guys, you know in vBulletin where it shows "Report Post Icon" some people are quite not that intelligent of finding it, so i want to make it like a hyperlink that redirects it to the "Report Post Section". But, I dont want it to be in the user profile section on the left side where it shows "Join Date, Avtar etc" I want it to be in the thread, meaning IN the post at all times.. so whenever you make a post .. on the far right of the thread or bottom right of the thread.. there will be a link that you can click on so you can report a bad post such as this

ex: Report A Bad Post

and i would want to have that.. on the far right of any thread at all times..

______________

Problem 2: You might have seen at websites where they have a custom image that represents themselves. Such as Admin would have a lil administrator picture, and there would be super vip, mod, register users etc. etc. I didn't find it in the ACP/USERGROUPS where to add images like that, can someone help me find it?

______________

Problem 3: K to add reputation, It's not working for me. I'm using the built in one for vBulletin (hopefully that one is correct). I don't want that icon because again it's not that visible. I want to replace that icon with wording this time .. saying "Add To Reputation" making it a hyper link but instead of having in a thread/post, i want it in the user custom profile field (Join Date, Avtar, Posts etc.)

Please Help! thanks a lot, i'm kind of a noob at forums so thats why im asking you "pros"

been a day still waiting on someone to help me !

When you posted that it hadn't even been 12 hours never mind 24 :p... Still isn't 24 :p.

1. Edit postbit(_legacy)
2. vBImageworks

[phatsingh]

Can you provide more detail on how to edit the postbit legacy, and where to edit it.. and what to add? .. also @ imageworks.. i already have the images i want, but where do i add them.? For example if you look at your name on the left There is join date real name etc. etc. then activity posts etc. what if you want to add a image below the "today, posts, activity, longevity" saying "vBulletin Guru" where would you place the image? In a template, setting where? And any clue for the "3rd" request? = )

[phatsingh]

Also just toshow you a better understanding of what i mean about the "Reputation, and Report Bad Link" I've uploaded some images of them. Check them out, I want them to be similar like those!

Also as you can see in the "report image"

Some Other Request You know How they have "Hidden Content" You must click the "Thanks" button etc. In the code/quote box .. I have an image repersenting it, how would i make it so i can have it similar to theirs and have content in there, and when a person clicks the thank you button the content that was placed there would be replaced by the "link" ? [/b]

Well as you can see in report image, on the far right of the post you can see "Report Dead Link/Report Post" .. That's where I want mine to be, not in the post bit legacy place where you can see a member's post info, join date, reputation etc. I want it to be in the thread at all times.. like in all threads. Any solutions? Would i still have to edit it in the Post Bit Legacy template? And if so or not.. where would i edit it, what would i edit, what would i add?

So to add more detail, in the "Propz" image, do you see how you can see "Give Props Or Hate" in the image, I want to replace the "Add To Reputation Image" with that "hyper link style".

These are the only modifications I want to update for my forum including the "Images for each Usergroup that i explained above". Thanks a lot, VBhackers <3

Add this somewhere in your postbit_legacy... wherever you want it.

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

[phatsingh]

I didn't want it near the member info tho..i wanted it like on the thread.. so say whatever im typing.. right now.. the report bad post is going to be on my thread . Also any clues about the other requests anyone?

[phatsingh]

Thanks Magnumutz, but as I said it was close to what i was looking for but not exact. What template would you enter that in for only "Threads"? Also after putting that in postbit_legacy i've got an error out of the blue, what could this be now? :S

Database error in vBulletin :

mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
/home/bhangra/public_html/forums/includes/class_core.php on line 275

nvm the error has to do something with the host.. o.O

Yeah man, you can replace the Report button's code with the one i provided you with... If you still don't get it, copy/paste your legacy_postbit here... and i'll find it for you.
