Code:

Any suggestions?

[Ntfu2]

why are you using a template edit for default vBulletin functions, this is easily done via the ranks thats already built in?

[Lands]

I was trying to get something that would display below the avatar with location / postcount, etc.. I suppose there's probably a way to move the rank field though.

[dc pringle]

Some of my members are members of custom additional groups, say people who have been there for longer than 3 years are members of a prmary group 'registered users' and an additional group 'OG'

Is there anyway to make this relate to additional groups instead of posting groups?

Cuz i tried putting in the user group id for the OG group, but nothing came up :(

[talenak]

Are you sure cause im unable to find that option.

ok nvm i found out :| i forgot about this option im sure i used it before:s

Could someone tell me where this option is? I can't find it!

[yoyoyoyo]

vb_postbit_info does not appear anywhere in the postbit for 3.6.8

[mystic10]

what if i want a specfic user to show that he is staff how can i write that...can you help i tried usning the same format instead of using userid i put usertitle..but didnt work

<if condition="$post[usertitle] == mystic"><div class="vb_postbit_info"><b>Rank:</b> Staff</div></if>

like this so that specific name will show rank

anyone

[yashua]

Actully there is a setting in vb to disply user ranks and levels anyways I guess this may come in handy to some of are members that have not read the guide.

[Derek Chai]

vBulletin 3.7 upgrade possible?

[MentaL]

I would imagine it would work, just uses variables.

[Majest]

I placed mine above usertitle and everything under it was changed to the colour I put the rank as. Is there anyway to stop this from happening so only the rank is coloured?

[SnoozerD]

Can someone tell me how to set this area? Currently mine runs across each message. I would mine to run down the side of each message. I am sure I have just missed this. Thanks for the help. (And as soon as I am like this I will install this.)

[mirageboss]

Can someone help me with adding it on 3.6.8?

set your board to use postbit legacy instead of postbit in your vb admincp settings. make sure the edits you want are to postbit legacy, which is with the user info down the side instead of atop the post.

check your closing tags in your template edit, spelling, missing bracket, etc. most likely that's the issue.

[goddess_dix]

anyone who wants to do this for 3.7, search for this text instead of the old text in your templates...
