vBulletin Forum/Thread Blurbs 1.5.1

[MarkFL]

MarkFL submitted a new resource:

Forum/Thread Blurbs - Allows you to define blurbs (a block of information) on a per thread/forum basis.

Overview:​

This product allows you to define blurbs (a block of information) on a per thread/forum basis. BBCodes are allowed in the text, and support is added for my BBCodes that require extra processing, which include:

• Abbreviations/Acronyms (MathJax Compatible)
• [BBCode For Username HTML Markup

You can select whether you want the blurbs to appear above the threads/posts or below the threads/posts. The blurbs appear in a collapsible element....

Is there a way to put an option, that will define the language id.
I have blurbs in my language, when user selects English language i want him to read English text

Now it is:
*forumid, ..., forumidn | excluded usergroup1, ..., excluded usergroupn | blurb

some how like this?
*forumid, ..., forumidn | excluded usergroup1, ..., excluded usergroupn | language id | blurb



Thanks

Tested, works fine Mark, thank you so much

Tested, works fine Mark, thank you so much

You know, this right here, the fact that you always promptly let me know if something works or not, makes it a joy to provide support for your requests. I always breathe a sigh of relief when someone confirms that the update works for them, and especially in this case since I don't have a test site with multiple languages installed.

Over the years, you have made a great number of really good insightful requests that ultimately make my products more useful, and for this I am truly grateful.

 

[Stratos]

I understand what you mean, but I consider it as the minimum obligation to inform someone who devotes his time (even unfairly.)
Truly grateful i must be and not you. Thank you any way for you kindness and the effort you giving to us.

Hi Mark, I could not understand why members broke some little rules I had written in blurbs.
Today I realized if some one logs out an logs in again, blurbs do not show up. It shows up only if I change forum language.

So...
- log out - log in = no blurbs (default language GR)
- change forum language to English - I see blurbs.
- change back forum language to default(GR) - I than see blurbs to.

Hope given you to understand.
Thank you

 

[MarkFL]

Try adding a language id of zero to the default language blurbs (as defined in the settings).

 

[Stratos]

My default language id is "2"
English is "1"
When I put "0" in my default, I do not see blurbs at all, either I make the change as I say above.
If I understood well what you ask me to do


*165|1,4,3,8|2| Text in my language
*165|1,4,3,8|1| Text in English

 

[MarkFL]

Try this:

*165|1,4,3,8|0,2| Text in my language
*165|1,4,3,8|1| Text in English

 

[Stratos]

Yes that fixes the situation. Why?

 

[MarkFL]

When a user doesn't explicitly choose a language, and the default is used, the value of zero is stored in their userinfo array for their languageid.

 

[Stratos]

Ok I got it now

Some thing last, I do not remember if I have mentioned this issue, but as I see I have it in my temp text


When I choose "Blurbs By Thread Position" Below Posts.
As you see Reply button is not in good position in all my skins. I can not see what happens in my default skin.
Is there some where to make a change?


If I disable mod, button goes up in correct position.



Thank you Mark.

 

[MarkFL]

It may be that your custom styles have templates that cannot be correctly auto-edited, as they may differ too much from the default. There's really no way for me to account for that beforehand.

This happens only to members, Admins and Moderators have the button "Moderator tools" at the right side, assume that's why
to us is ok. but for members is the issue. Just now I saw that this happens in vb default untouchable skin to.
When ever you remember take look to your site as a member

Thank you very much.

Yes, I have some other things going on in my dev site that might prevent that issue as well. I will look into this soon, as I recall it is pretty tricky to properly position things there for some reason.

 

[MarkFL]

I am unable to replicate the reported issue...this is what I get with a non-moderator account in the default style with everything else in that area turned off:

 

[Stratos]

Ok, Mark.
I get this in default, and this time I have disabled "New Thread/Post Reminder Message v1.4.1"
Button is on the top off editor


Tomorrow I will test to disable some modification and see what happens. Thanks for your time.
and the previous solution. Remind that I have vb4.2.0

 

[Stratos]

Before start searching, I see this issue?
For test I put both Blurbs By Forum and Blurbs By Thread
See what happens at least to me.



As you see both titles in one, and I see the

---

they are included in the plugins of this mod.
Thanks

 

[MarkFL]

Both titles should display...that's as intended. If you are using HTML in your blurbs, the BBCodes won't be parsed.
