Hi, I love this mod but I am making a heavily customized skin where I want to make the status text a certain color and placed next to the user display name instead of the IP address, how do I go about this since I no longer see it in the skin edit section. Many thanks!

I can see it in the cache and the xml but I am not code-savvy enough to edit them. =P

[emoney emoney]

Glad you like it!

The templates should still be there to edit. There are 2 templates, both of which in skin_topic: post_author_status and post_author_statusNoTab.

Let me know if you don't see them for some reason, perhaps you need a reinstall.

[miator]

I can't believe I missed that template part, haha.

Anyhow, is there a way for me to place it right after the user's display name and popup icon instead of the IP address?

[emoney emoney]

Ah, I forgot that now that I removed skin edits, it is harder to tweak where exactly to display the HTML.

I just looked, and actually it might be just as easy, or even easier, depending on the user. What you can do is go to ACP->Manage Hooks->(e$30) Post Author Status->Edit Hook. Navigate to the last tab, "Hook Files" and from there you would play with the last 3 settings: "Type of template hook", "The hook 'ID'", and "Position of template hook". Those 3 settings allow you to choose exactly where to display the PAS templates. So, you would need to open the topicViewTemplate from the Topic View templates and find where exactly you want it to display. Then find the nearest if statement and use those above 3 settings to point to that if statement (or foreach loop).

For instance, it looks like the IP stuff in topicViewTemplate is:

Quote

<if test="postIp:|:$post['post']['_show_ip']">
<span class='ip'>({$this->lang->words['ip']}:
<if test="postAdmin:|:$post['author']['g_access_cp']">
<em>{$this->lang->words['ip_private']}</em>
<else />
<a href="{parse url="app=core&amp;module=usercp&amp;tab=members&amp;area=mod_ipaddress&amp;do=custom&amp;ip={$post['post']['ip_address']}" base="public"}" title='{$this->lang->words['info_about_this_ip']}'>{$post['post']['ip_address']}</a>
</if>
)</span>
</if>

So, in those 3 settings, you could pick:

• If Statement
  
• postIp
  
• pre.StartIf

Let us know how that works, I've never actually edited those in that fashion.

[miator]

That worked nicely, thanks for the suggestion!

Since I didn't have a use for posticon I used that to get the effect I want.

[emoney emoney]

Nice. Post a screenshot if you want, eh. I always like seeing customizations/implementations of my stuff.

[Silver Kitsune]

Any way to have it show just in the member info pane?

[emoney emoney]

I installed this hook so I could test that here. I also just used the Change Member's Status shop item on you. I also just sent you the same item in case you want to change mine from the boring smiley face.

About your question, I just tried and it looks like it works fine. The way I did it was similar to the suggestion I mentioned above, I went to ACP->Manage Hooks and clicked Edit Hook
on the "(e$30) Post Author's Status" row. From that page click the third tab Hook Files and here are my modified settings:



You'll notice that one now hooks into userInfoPane (which is the leftside mini profile on the side of posts and messages and things) instead of both hooking into topicViewTemplate. It doesn't matter which of the "Template Hook" files you change. One corresponds to the Tab view and the other to the Author's IP view. Depending on which one you alter, you may need to go to ACP->Settings->Forum->(e$30) Post Author Status and change the "Placement" so it works on your freshly tweaked placement in the memberInfoPane.

Let us know (with screengrabs) how that works out for you.

If anyone else would prefer this view too, please post, I could release a new version with this option built-in.

[Silver Kitsune]

what do i change the placement to? it doesn't change for either that i choose..it's the way it's always been

[emoney emoney]

It depends on which of the Hook Files you edit. If you make your Hook Files page look exactly like my screenshot posted above, you would set your Placement to No. And also, remember that the Current Status? setting should be set to Yes for a while if you want to see previous poster's statuses. Because it is only after you install the hook and enable it does it start collecting every poster's current status. So the poster's status will be blank for every post in the past.

[Silver Kitsune]

ok i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. i did it exactly like you did... and nothing is showing up at all now

[emoney emoney]

dunno, make sure you don't touch the Data Hook file (the third one in the screenshot). It might be worthwhile to start over, so uninstall the hook and reimport and then go step by step again, testing at each step to see what causes the status to go away if it happens again. I gotta get some sleep, but tomorrow I'll be back eh.

edit: I just tried following the above advice and it didn't show for me at first... but I changed both of the top 2 data files to the same thing then set Placement to No and Current Status to Yes, and it is displaying properly now. So maybe try that too:

[Silver Kitsune]

nope
my files are different than yours... File #1 is the one with only two settings displayed

r

File# 2 in the pic... it changes each time i re install the hook

[emoney emoney]

Yeah, disregard the number of the files. Wichever one says Data Hook, don't touch that one. The other two you should change to be like my screenshot above.

[Silver Kitsune]

So yea I did that.. nothing... would you like admin access? I must be doing something wrong


ETA: Like your new status? *Giggles*

[emoney emoney]

Ha, thanks for that. . Sure, you can pm me acp access if you want me to take a peak.
