having a template on a post

[helltonic]

Hi, i was wondering how you guys do this. The first post in the thread follows a template and the responses are just normal posts.

like this for example: (whenever a addon is submitted) https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=148372

"Chief First Posts"

thanks for replying, but i dont think that's what i am looking for. nevermind

The modification I named will change the postbit of the first post - is that not what you were looking for?

[helltonic]

well i dont know how exactly to phrase it, but i was looking for something that makes the first post more like a form that people fill out, rather than just type anything freestyle

I have been trying to create that very idea for some time.
I want to have 1 specific forum that members will fill out a form when they are creating a Thread in that forum. This will be the only way they can post in that forum.(Fist Post) I am also using Chief First Post for that forum. I will share with you what I did, once & if I get it to function the way I want.

What you need is this mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=102923) combined with this mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=126676). We use it to formalise the creation of classified adverts in our classified forums.
