Request: can you make "postbit normal" default value?

i need this hack !

rated, installed and nominated!!!!

but the Default Thread Type is Postbit Article
i need the Default Thread Type in Postbit Legacy but how???
there are no options in admincp for settings
please help me ....:confused:

[Vtec44]

Search in the XML file for the code below


<option value="1">Postbit Article</option>
<option value="2">Postbit Legacy</option>
<option value="3">Postbit Flipped</option>
<option value="4">Postbit Normal</option>


and switch the order between Postbit Article and Legacy. Then import the XML (remember to set it to overwrite).

i do all as you told me but still the Default Thread Type is Postbit Article ... :eek:

[Vtec44]

I did it on mine and it worked. It's basically switching the value for the drop down box in the XML prior to importing it to your forum. If it's not sticking, then you either didn't save the file, import the wrong file, or didn't set it to "Allow Overwrite" the existing product.

I thinks it's not enough to change the value only it's working after i also change the below values & change the place of Default Type...;)

1.

<select name="ttype" tabindex="1">
<option value="1">Postbit Legacy</option>
<option value="2">Postbit Article</option>
<option value="3">Postbit Flipped</option>
<option value="4">Postbit Normal</option>

case 1:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_legacy';
break;
case 2:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_articles';
break;
case 3:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_flipped';

case 4:

[Barakat]

thanks for that .... realy great one from you

[popular]

is it possible to have the article views work without the "always show first post" option?

[Vtec44]

you can replace your postbit template with the article template.

[Kentaurus]

Thanks for the hack :) A couple comments.

You defined the "chiefpost" column as INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED, but it is being used a flag. Since a field that big is not needed, It should be tinyint, or char(1). Same for ttype.

why are you using "global $globaltemplates;" in your cache_templates plugin? It shouldn't be necessary

Other than that, your hack is very nicely coded :) Thanks for sharing

[cheat-master30]

Any help to get this working as it should?

[queengoc]

I am very interested in keeping the first post at the top of the thread. My question is what are the various thread types? And will anyone other then the mod/admin have the ability to change it? I don't want to change how our threads are viewed except for the first post showing on all pages.

Thanks!

[dinoking]

I installed mod but it have problems with new thread (new post)!

Can you help me ? Thanks, sorry my english not good :D

[elmati]

Goto Forum manager - > edit a forum -> scroll to bottom and ckeck the option first post to yes :)

Cheers!

[queengoc]

Thanks Elmati! It didn't answer my question about changing the threads but I installed anyway and it looks great!

[cheat-master30]

Then how come I always set it to yes, and it doesn't give the option?

[D.Ilyin]

Thanks!

b) default template: Postbit Normal\Postbit Article\Postbit Legacy\Postbit Flipped
c) enable user change default template: yes\no
d) enable usergroup permisions override forum first post default template settings
3. User group permisions:
a) enable user change default first post template: yes\no

Please! :)

[jluerken]

Hi,

1. Is it possible that only defined usergroups are allowed to change the postbit type?
2. It would be nice to be able to set the postbit default tpye for every single forum. Can this be done?

/jluerken

[semauae]

For me the 4 types are same

when I changed, I don't find any differences

[maf1973]

It is possible to disable the Thread Type Setting ?

I used the following modification to only allow usergroup 6 to choose the Thread type.
Thanks Spermy

For those that want just postbit for default.


1. In the postbit_select template

Default
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="fieldset">
<tr>
<td>
$vbphrase[cp_ttype]:<br />
<select name="ttype" tabindex="1">
<option value="1">Postbit Article</option>
<option value="2">Postbit Flipped</option>
<option value="3">Postbit Normal</option>
<option value="4">Postbit Legacy</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>Change to
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="fieldset">
<tr>
<td>
$vbphrase[cp_ttype]:<br />
<select name="ttype" tabindex="1">
<option value="1">Postbit Normal</option>
<option value="2">Postbit Flipped</option>
<option value="3">Postbit Article</option>
<option value="4">Postbit Legacy</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>2. In Chief Post - Postbit Display Complete Plugin

Default
if ($this->forum['chiefpost']==1 AND $post['postid']==$this->thread['firstpostid'])
{
switch ($this->thread['ttype'])
{
case 1:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_articles';
break;
case 2:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_flipped';
break;
case 3:
$this->templatename = 'postbit';
break;
case 4:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_legacy';
break;
default:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_articles';
break;
}
}Change to
if ($this->forum['chiefpost']==1 AND $post['postid']==$this->thread['firstpostid'])
{
switch ($this->thread['ttype'])
{
case 1:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_legacy';
break;
case 2:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_flipped';
break;
case 3:
$this->templatename = 'postbit';
break;
case 4:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_articles';
break;
default:
$this->templatename = 'postbit';
break;
}
}And i added <if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6)"> at the begining In the postbit_select template and </if> at the end so only Admins can use this.

Hope this helps you guys using normal postbit.

[Animparadise]

i installed this version, it make first post chief but still using old postbit_lagency (old threads) but in new threads its working fine, how to solve this problem?

comment: i used this hack beforce but for some problems (here : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1454167&postcount=190) removed this hack.

[MissKalunji]

you need to edit forum settings in admincp to tick if you want chief first post to be applied

[Golzarion]

The first post dose not have the collapse button https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/07/39.gif Like here ( vBulletin.org) .How can we add collapse button for the Chife first post ?

[ged]

Can it be limited only for specific forums?

[MissKalunji]

Can it be limited only for specific forums?

Yes there's a setting in each forum to turn on or off chief post

[mikkitine]

Yes there's a setting in each forum to turn on or off chief postIf this is the case then this should be a standard vB feature.

*downloads and installs*

[MissKalunji]

who knows maybe next version :)

[mikkitine]

MissKalunji, do you know if there's a mod around that makes the first post collapsible like vBORG's?

[MissKalunji]

well it's just template edit let me test it and let you know

[mikkitine]

Okay, cheers.

[MissKalunji]

Okay, cheers.

I'm just going to copy paste what i've done and put on bold what you have to add and you can play around with it. I did it real fast but i've edited my template so much that i'm not even sure anymore how the originals are.

1. It was originally this : <a name="post$post[postid]">
Posted : $post[postdate]<if condition="!$show['detailedtime']">, $post[posttime]</if>
$post[firstnewinsert]

But i had to change it to

Post title or else when you collapse it you would only see the date

2. This is the image that shows collapse. You can probably edit the image itself to say collapse like on .org if you want. YOu can move it around to place it exactly where you want

3. Just add what i've put there and that's it.

Play around with it to make it look exactly the way you want. :)

Uhm yeah it's only on new thread :-/ if im not mistaking....i know another hack similar to this one (but only has one style no choice) his used to apply as soon as you select it for the forum.

Maybe you have to rebuild post cache? i'm not sure about this one really i had the other one before switching to this one....if i figure it out i'll let you know.

The mod works fine. I have it working on all threads (new & all). You must be doing something wrong.
If your installation went well, then go to:
ACP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager
Select (Edit) the forum on which you want to have the first thread marked ("Chiefed"), scroll down at the level of "Chief Post" and select "Yes" on the question "Show first post on every thread page?"

I was also thinking about making the first posts position fixed when scrolling down the page. Like that feature in MS-Excel. I`ll play around with css position absolute etc. and see if I can get it to work.

I would love to make my first post collapse but I don't understand where I need to go to do this. I installed this mod and it's pretty much split fifty/fifty on keeping the first post at the top and the ability to collapse the first post would keep everyone happy. Thanks!

[MissKalunji]

what you see in red is what i ADDED

[queengoc]

You are thinking I know more then I do, LOL. I have no idea where to make the change. I know what to change thanks to what you have but I don't know where in my template this code is. This is all new to me and it's over the past week or so that I've gotten brave enough to make changes but I pretty much need things spelled out for me. Thanks!

oh sorry i didn't know

In your admincp / style template / edit your template choose / postbit template

you will find postbit_review
Postbit_select etc etc

I tested this in Postbit_review edit :) and compare your template with mine

i hope i was clear enough?

Not apology necessary MissKalunji, unfortunately I feel like a big dummy because I don't have Postbit_review or can't find it.

Here is what I have:

postbit
postbit-articles
postbit-attachment
postbit-attachmentimage
postbit-attachmentmoderated
postbit-attachmentthumbnail
postbit-deleted
postbit-externl
postbit-flipped
postbit-ignore
postbit-ignore-global
postbit-ip
postbit-legacy
postbit-onlnestatus
postbit-quickedit
postbit-reputation
postbit-select
postbit-wrapper

I tried it in articles and flipped but it didn't work. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Was I supposed to replace my postbit article with yours? I tried that and it didn't work :(. Thanks for all of your help in trying though.

[ShiZoPhreN]

Thank You, for this nice Hack, but i have a Request, i think its better, with usergroup permission, you can coded it?

thanks in advance, Atakan KOC

you can set it yourself by fixing the code with if condition

Thanks Spermy

Great MOD and great support by members:)

Hi,

I just noticed that the vBSEO permalink replacement isn`t added to the postcount part of the article template. I`ll ask the vBSEO guys if they can explain how to add the permalink replacement to custom postbit-templates.

all the best,
Sacha

[Mrdby]

why when choosing the parent forum it doesn't just add this rule to all the forums that follow? This would be much better and easier than going 1 by 1 turning this feature on.

[sinucello]

Hi,

Oleg from vBSEO found a partial solution for the permalink issue:

Thanks for this!

Is it possible to keep the "article" postbit for the first post but not display the first post in every page?

[FENIX]

Hi,

I have amended the XML and templates as instructed in this thread so that a)only admins can change the thread type and b)the default thread type is postbit. I now wonder if it is possible to use the article thread view in certain forums as default, and leave postbit as default in the other forums?

Would it be another if statement to do this?

<if condition="is_in_forum($forumid, 1,2,3)">

I can't code by the by, but that should explain the idea. Unless of course I set the default style to article, then in theory it will only affect the forums with this mod switched on *goes to find out*

Edit: Ok brill, it does it for you anyway. My old topics have not been updated though and I rebuilt the thread cache. Any ideas?

this code not working versiyon 3.7

[DjEddie]

thanks for the mod, works perfectily installed in 1 sec and no problems...been looking around for this type of mod, just didnt know name of it..

Suggestion for next version,

is to have options in the vboptions menu to make it default chief post for all forums so not to have to go into each one to make 1st post chief...
Also make first post more seperate than others so it stands out ... ie have the page numbers below first post instead of on top of first post ..

Thanks again :)

[Super Jinni]

ok, it works but it lakes a lot of features

anyway, can anyone tell if there is anyway to turn this hack On/Off per thread not per forum? ^^

thanks in advance

:)

you can do that from

vBulletin Options > Style & Language Settings > Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template

under that you will find Yes/No Option

set to yes to view all post in post in postbit legacy style and of course you can set the first post to Postbit Article

I think that is what you ask for if I'm not mistaken ^^

Good Luck :)

[Mrdby]

how about just having the first post on each page set as normal? Or even a new post..just set as normal without coming up as the default article?

[Super Jinni]

reread the posts in this thread

[FENIX]

Hmm, I want the first post in certain forums to have the Article layout..any ideas? I have to manually edit threads to update the style to Article.

[choccyclaire]

you need to edit forum settings in admincp to tick if you want chief first post to be applied

This should have been implied in the product post.

Thanks.

Thanks for the input Super Jinni .... But you're missing the point, when you install the product it mods the newthread template and adds a dropdown selection for the Chief First Post format. what I want to do is have the firs post st as Postbit Article and eliminate the dropdown selection box.

[Super Jinni]

I got it, but why do you want to do that?

[JAuthement]

I got it, but why do you want to do that?

Because I like having the custom format for the starter topic plus I like having the topic to be visible on all concurrent pages of the thread.

and you can copy the the postpit_article template content to the new template required for this one...

What you see in red are the pieces of code I added on to the postbit article template from the Chief First Post mod. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=178331)

With these little edits I'm able to collapse the first post of the thread in the forums where this mod is active if I'm using the article postbit. The collapsing works and I'm happy with that. The problem is, when I navigate to another page in the same thread, the first post is automatically expanded again. The first post is not remembering to stay collapsed.

Can anybody help me keep the first post stay collapsed? What am I missing from the edits?

Can anyone help me to put back the border around when using postbit_article? Also, how to make postbit_article as a default for everyone (without any choice of selection)? thanks.

Can someone please help me with the above question? thanks.

If the first line of the post is in "quote", post will show up like this.

How to make by default Postbit Flipped version???

Edited:
Sorry, here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1511052&postcount=27) is the answer... ;)

[thotd]

thanks! very goods

[ka81]

is any here almost same mod, but when I can choose - which post should be a chief ??
for 3.7.x (3.7.0)

[OsideRida06]

How would I go about disabling the option to select the thread type? I am having problems with people choosing article, and then asking why it looks weird. We do not need this feature anyhow. However we do still need the chief first post part of it.

So how could I take just the option to select thread type? Or even better, have only admins have the option. Every one else would have to post in regular postbit_legacy?

[MissKalunji]

add an if statement in the postbit_select

right before the whole code add this :

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, #)">

Then at the end add </if>

Where #= Your usergroup admin

[OsideRida06]

Thanks. I will test it out in the morning!

[OsideRida06]

Thank you once again. I actually just deleted the options I didnt want. So they now jsut have th eoption between legacy and flipped.

Thanks for the info!

[ArnyVee]

This is a wonderful mod which is going to help our site tremendously! Thanks for this!

3.7.1 P1 for reference working here. :D

[scoles15]

I love having this mod, it is perfect for some of the forums on our site. After searching trough this thread, I didn't see any mention of the issue brought up by one of my members.

If your dispaly options are set to linear - newest first, then the cheif first post shows at the Bottom of the page. My first thought was "of course". But if you do the same setting on vb.org the first post still is at the top of the page.

Anyone else notice this and come up with a fix?

[Koidl]

Hello,

If i want edit the Article Post it comes a problem!
Is there a way to fix that plz check the Image (http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/5179/14833197rl2.jpg)

Nothing like I see in the screen shots appears on my forum.

Always I use the quickedit function to change a article the postbit switches back from postbit_article to normal postbit-layout.

What can I do to solve this?

I won't nominate this hack, no answers are available and it just does not work.It works for me BUT I agree, there are many issues and there has not been one reply. SO I guess I'll just hack it to work like I would like it to work on my forum.

I definitely will use caution before installing another one of his hacks:(

Is there a version of this mod without postbit choices?

[MissKalunji]

yep : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93706

[crkgb]

I've seen that one. requires a use of alternate postbit template. I simply need my legacy template to display the first post on all the pages. Other mods are normally installed into known templates.

Thank you anyways

[BANDiT600]

Same issue for me... How to edit quickly without changing template to normal postbit???

[mystic10]

how to i make yes as default please let me know...i have big forum it takes too much time to go to each one and click yes

[kompakt]

Guys I tried reading the thread but didn't find a solution. Some people claim it works and others that it doesn't. But this mod is only working on new threads for me.

[ricky_s]

hi would it be possible to not have the first post on every page when this plugin is enabled. I mean all I want is the way the post looks, (article, legacy etc...) and not for the post to show up on the top of every page in the thread.

Any help would be really appreciated
thanks

[BANDiT600]

ricky_s, there is no option for what you want. :(
kompakt, that's right, it works only when new threads created.

P.S: kompakt, it works perfect on my board.

[Robi_Kenobi]

Hello,

i use Postbit_legacy (user info left side) as default. The mod works so far, but it allways shows Postbit legacy for me if i choose postbit normal in the first thread.

But i want the first one "normal" and the rest "legacy" :/

[Forum Lover]

installed and appreciated.

[quangnhut]

How to auto set on all forum. After installed this product i have manual set on one and one forum. But my forum is so many !

[Koroku]

I would like to note that I absolutely love this mod, and have been using it for awhile now.

The article postbit is by far my favorite of the offered ones :)

[ArnyVee]

add an if statement in the postbit_select

right before the whole code add this :

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, #)">

Then at the end add </if>

[popular]

could someone tell me where to edit postbit_normal ?? i can find the others but i can't find where to edit postbit_normal , thanks!

[MissKalunji]

postbit_normal is your standard postbit_legacy or postbit depends on which one you use

[vbboarder]

Bug report: I'm using the postbit normal layout. When editing or edit-previewing the first post, the thread type menu does not retain the previously selected value (normal postbit in my case), but reverts to "postbit article" (the first choice in the list). Since the thread author doesn't expect the selection change to postbit article, he forgets to change the layout back to postbit normal, which makes the layout of that post inconsistent with other threads & posts.

Can you fix this bug? Also, can you provide an admin option so that the admin determines the postbit layout, not the thread author? Thanks. ;)

[ed2k_2]

Yeah, can the mod be enabled on certain usergroups only?

[GaiLoan]

itswork on 3.7.2 ?

yes it does

[MissKalunji]

any one can fix this? Please...

thanks you for the mod
working excellent.

Feature request: Allow the "thread type" setting to be set only in the VB Options or when editing Forum settings, instead of setting it per thread. This allows for a more consistent look throughout the forums.

[wolfstream]

Search in the XML file for the code below


<option value="1">Postbit Article</option>
<option value="2">Postbit Legacy</option>
<option value="3">Postbit Flipped</option>
<option value="4">Postbit Normal</option>


and switch the order between Postbit Article and Legacy. Then import the XML (remember to set it to overwrite).

:)

The more efficient way to do this is to use the selected option, such as:

<option value="1">Postbit Article</option>
<option value="2">Postbit Legacy</option>
<option value="3">Postbit Flipped</option>
<option value="4" selected>Postbit Normal</option>

This will automatically select the 'postbit normal' setting for you.

[RobbieZ]

Cool.. And you can set which forum too.. excellent.. Installed..

The more efficient way to do this is to use the selected option, such as:

<option value="1">Postbit Article</option>
<option value="2">Postbit Legacy</option>
<option value="3">Postbit Flipped</option>
<option value="4" selected>Postbit Normal</option>

This will automatically select the 'postbit normal' setting for you.

Another way is too

AminCP>Styles & Templates>Search in Templates.

Now enter "Postbit Article" in your search box.

>postbit_select

And edit the template above as wolfstream describes.. :D

[barcena]

On my site I placed this hack that I like a lot, problem is that Article is the default (first) option on the Thread Type list so everyone is posting as Article.

I need the Postbit to be Normal by default, no Article, if then somebody wants to make their first post (chief one) an article to be seing from any page so be it, that means that person has enough knowledge like to change a little button, apparently right now is hard for my members to realize it or they don't underestand what Postbit means (neither do I lol) but is kind of annoying to have everyone posting their New Threads as Postbit Article just bc is the "default" one and then pm you so you can change it back to Normal for them. If i can fix this from the CP please enlighted me since I haven't being able to find it.

Thanks.

[barcena]

Thanks for help me ...

I thinks it's not enough to change the value only it's working after i also change the below values & change the place of Default Type...;)

1.

<select name="ttype" tabindex="1">
<option value="1">Postbit Legacy</option>
<option value="2">Postbit Article</option>
<option value="3">Postbit Flipped</option>
<option value="4">Postbit Normal</option>
</select>


2.

case 1:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_legacy';
break;
case 2:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_articles';
break;
case 3:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_flipped';
break;
case 4:
$this->templatename = 'postbit';
break;
default:
$this->templatename = 'postbit';
break;


Problem solved, I read the whole thread and this fixed my problem, I know nothing about programming or vbulleting I just have a site, I followed the steps and voila, if I could of doit anyone can.

Now my postib is:

Normal
Article
etc

Article is not the default anymore, that was annoying.


Thanks guys!

[barcena]

After I did those changes all the threads in where the first post were an Article went missed, you can see from post 2 up, does someone knows where does posts no. 1 went?. I'd try to edit those threads so I can put it back to Article but since the firsts post are missed there's nothing I can do.

Please help.

PD. You can stil open new threads and choose the postib: Normal, Article, etc.

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

it was looking good but...

if you choose ARTICLE it "breaks" with large avatars. (doesn't fit)

any fix for this to work with large avatars?

[barcena]

Is this hack supported? Too many questions and no answers. I will nominate the mod as the hack of the month in a flash but only if there is some sort of support.

1. I have noticed that I can't, as an Admin, see the IP of the member who opens an Article thread. Is there a way to see the IP, am I missing something?.

2. Can someone explain the differences bt Legacy, Flipped, Normal, Article?. I know the differences bt Normal and Article (those are the only ones that seems to be working on my site, I choose Legacy and Flipped sometimes but nothing different happens, it gets posted as Normal).

BTW. Unfortunatelly I had to revert all I did and allow Article to be the first option since, after the change on XML file, all the Threads in where Article was the first post, dissapear, a shame b/c i don't want Article to be the default but Normal, however I have the hack running, I like it too much as to dissable it.

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

you know what would be awesome?

if this could be added to teh THREAD VIEW choices

eg: linear, threaded, hybrid, chief post.

:)

[Nadeemjp]

is this usable with 3.7.3?

[Nadeemjp]

no it doesnt work with 3.7.3

[shipfriends]

Hi I have a query.

I am making a new post for every topic with some standard information. With another mod I change the date posted so it appears as first post.

The chief post though, if I choose to have it sticky for every thread page, takes the original first post and not my "artificial" one

Any ideas?
thanks

[MissKalunji]

1. Yes you would have to add this code below wherever you want it to show
$post[iplogged]

2.- legacy is the standard one
- article looks similar to the ones on vb.org (go to any article here)
- flipped is just all the info are on the right instead of the left
I've modified mines so i can't exactly explain how the other ones are

what else is your problem?

[akonze]

It seems this hack is not supported anymore. There are several issues (like the quickedit bug) which have not been adressed since may 2008. Furthermore someone pointed out it does not runs with 3.7.3. I also have problems with the mod, but finally decided to uninstall it again.

Sad, but true... :mad:

[goxy63]

Hi to all

I installed mod few days ago...
Its great, just one question, why on some threads there are no option as vote or...those threads are started before I installed this mod, thats why ?

[raja811]

I think it was not supported since it's released :(

[MissKalunji]

i agree...

[TitanJeff]

I love this mod. I have it working well with a few of the suggestions left here by members.

If we were lucky to have an update on it some day, I would love to be able to set a certain member to use postbit article as their default for such things as the RSS feed.

[mavikumsal]

Thanks Atakan Koç

[UKBusinessLive]

no it doesnt work with 3.7.3

Yes it does :eek:

[rzpvile]

[yingzhou]

very sad for don't have a update for this mod. I seen a update for 3.8.x mod. Why the author do not update this?

I can't edit post via quick edit because it's will return to normal instead article.
I can't chose which form is default.

[da_judge]

I need this Default ON for all forums in admincp

Any ideas how

Cheers

[anderow]

Excellent hack!

Thanks.

Is it possible to mark the 'first post' on the all pages of the thread except the first one? As we have had people confused as to why the same post appears multiple times!! they do realise eventually but it would be great to have pages say 2-22 (if it was a 22 page thread) have the first post tagged with a small icon or stamp saying (editable or uplodable by us)

saying

'This was the first post of this thread'

or something like that

Any thoughts on this?

[Gosef]

i want it to show post's text from right to left!
how can i make it do that?

[sergey78]

hi everybody,

please, help!

i installed it, but can't find how to run it. i suspect there is something i should do with INSTALL CODE, but can't figure what)

[zombietom]

hey got this installed and working fine...had to make a couple adjustments ..but overall it's a good mod.

Sergey78 --go to your ACP panel select Forum Manager -then pick a forums section you want to use this mod on and click on the GO button --go to the bottom of the page and select the YES radio button and then save.

[asking]

Is there any way on how to display the totw stamps of TOTW mod. Coz i notice that after nominating the thread, the stamps are not appearing in the postbit. Please help how to solve it?

[skubaman]

Hi, I really like the idea of this. But I think it would be better if I could choose to not give the 4 options when editing threads.
I just want to post the original message on top of every page to help users as they browse other pages, I don't want to necessarily give them an option to choose what kind of postbit to use.

It would also be nice if on the first message it could say something like that on top "original message"

so users understand it's not the same message posted several times in the same thread.

Does it make sense?

Thanks

Tell your members to type "Original Message" before they start their posting. Then bold it and change it to red.

This mod has been around forever, it's not going to be updated.

I bet that getting users to this is much harder than getting this mod updated.

That's because it's not there.

Go to ACP>Forums&Moderators>Forum Manager

Click on a forum to edit, scroll all the way to the bottom. Click on or off if you want to use CFP on that forum.

i hope modder will update this mod.

I created a thread with postbit articles. After, I edit the first post and choose postbit, the result view look normal but the first post is always on top of all pages.

Is this possible to make it back to its original?

Thanks,

Can be input only in one thread....?

[vitrag24]

update for vb 4.0 plz.
thx.

[MoMan]

If someone else hasn't mentioned this, there's a bug in the hook at postbit_display_complete which breaks the 'view post' functionality for postbit_ignore. See below for my fix.

// get ignored users
$ignore = array();
if (trim($vbulletin->userinfo['ignorelist']))
{
$ignorelist = preg_split('/( )+/', trim($vbulletin->userinfo['ignorelist']), -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
foreach ($ignorelist AS $ignoreuserid)
{
$ignore["$ignoreuserid"] = 1;
}
}

$myignore = $post['userid'];


// Bug fix by Adam
// This conditional breaks the 'view post' link in postbit_ignore; just add AND $ignore["$myignore"] != 1 to the conditionals below instead

/*
if ($ignore["$myignore"] == 1)
{
$this->templatename = 'postbit_ignore';
}
else
{
*/
if ($this->forum['ada_forum'] == 1 AND $post['postid']==$this->thread['firstpostid'] AND $ignore["$myignore"] != 1)
{
$this->templatename = 'ada_postbit_articles';
}
else
{
if ($this->forum['ada_forum'] == 1 AND !$post['isdeleted'] AND $ignore["$myignore"] != 1)
{
switch ($this->forum['ada_style'])
{
case 0: $this->templatename = 'ada_postbit_comment'; break;
case 1: $this->templatename = 'postbit'; break;
case 2: $this->templatename = 'postbit_legacy'; break;
case 3: $this->templatename = 'ada_postbit_flipped'; break;
}
}
}
/* }
*/

[evershawn]

Has there been any update to this for 4.X?

[MissKalunji]

no i haven't seen one.

anyone figured out how to fix multi-quote?

[citeman]

Would this cause duplicate content issue in terms of SEO? As all the pages on a thread start with the same content.
