YoBroMoFo - Threadstarter Hack for VB4

Updated version of our Threadstarter hack ( for 3.x )

**** PLEASE CLICK INSTALL IF YOU USE THIS HACK ***

Instructions: See Readme file ( included in Zip )

This adds Threadstarter graphic to The Thread Starters 1st post and all replies throughout that post. Gives them Kudos, and on huge threads allows you to see who in fact started the thread.

I don't get it, whats this mod supposed to do?

[teamshultz]

It looks like it adds "Threadstarter" to the thread starter's sig.

Thanks BS

[Hornstar]

oh lol, I can see members copying that into their sig and then making it look like they are the thread starter in every thread lol

But it is a very nice idea.

[abdobasha2004]

thanks
great mod. !

[mmhmm]

thank you, this is very helpful for my board, we have super long threads.

in addition we also have a lot of "trading" going on, and many members have "shops", so it's helpful to see who started the thread.

thank you again.

[TimberFloorAu]

I am quite sure with some rejigging. It could be adapted to :

Quiz forums, thread starter being given the graphic "QuizMaster"

Or Support Tickets.
Whereby the member gets the graphic Support Request, and the ADMIN/Mod designated to assist could equally be given the graphic Ticket Support Team

I do not know, but I think the code must be like that

<!--YoBroMoFo Thread Starter-->
<vb:if condition="$post['signature'] OR $thread['postuserid'] == $post['userid']">
<!-- sig -->
<div>

<vb:if condition="$thread['postuserid'] == $post['userid']">
__________________
<img src="images/thread_starter.gif" alt="British Expats Thread Starter">
</vb:if>
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</vb:if>
<!--end of YoBroMoFo Thread Starter-->

coz the cod in the zip file show line in evry post there without pic not just post starter

thanxxxxx

Hello YBMF!

I just installed this, yet it isn't showing up.

Might it be something in my settings?
I uploaded the thread_starter.gif.

The code I used was
<!--YoBroMoFo Thread Starter-->
<vb:if condition="$post['signature'] OR $thread['postuserid'] == $post['userid']">
<!-- sig -->
<div>

<vb:if condition="$thread['postuserid'] == $post['userid']">
__________________<br />
<img src="images/thread_starter.gif" alt=""><br />
</vb:if>
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</vb:if>
<!--end of YoBroMoFo Thread Starter-->


Ideas or suggestions?

[TimberFloorAu]

have you uploaded the image to the correct place. Checked path by viewing src code?

[treyb]

Works great! Thanks m8.
Changed mine to a .png so it would flow better. If anyone else wants to use.

[TimberFloorAu]

Good Work :up:

[princeedward]

mate timber....how can we do this that not on the first post will show? do we have any conditions that we can might use on this?

[TimberFloorAu]

Why would you not have a threadstarter display on the firt post, if they are the thread starter ?

[utahraves]

Feature request: Certain forums can have the thread starter title changed.
Example: I run a event website. 4 are event forums and I want the promoters for the event to show promoters, but then in the standard nonevent threads, it can say threadstarter.

[Jabong82]

Hey great hack I have a weird problem though.

This shows up for my posts (admin), but doesn't for others. Would there be a reason why? Thanks again.

Installed.

[TimberFloorAu]

Users must have a SIG

[Jabong82]

Ah yah thats it. Thanks for the great mod!

[Verionia]

Users must have a SIG

How can it show even for those with no sig?

[TimberFloorAu]

you must have a sig.

[nomoreturn]

Not even in the source code, looks as if you havent followed the instructions

[YankForum]

oh lol, I can see members copying that into their sig and then making it look like they are the thread starter in every thread lol

But it is a very nice idea.

Thanks for noticing Hornstars error :)

[YankForum]

How can it show even for those with no sig?

with author's permission i did it by adding these 3 lines of whole code provided by author :
<vb:if condition="$thread['postuserid'] == $post['userid']">
<img src="images/thread_starter.gif" alt="Thread Starter">
</vb:if>

right after lines below :

{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_signature_end}
</div>
</vb:if>

<vb:if condition="$thread['postuserid'] == $post['userid']">
<img src="images/thread_starter.gif" alt="Thread Starter">
</vb:if>

right after lines below :

{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_signature_end}
</div>
</vb:if>

Thanks so much! :)

[War.Frog]

I really like this, but I wanted it somewhere other than in the sig line. I was playing around and did it like this:

In Postbit Legacy:

FIND:
{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_messagearea_start}


BELOW, add this abbreviated code:
<!--YoBroMoFo Thread Starter-->
<vb:if condition="$thread['postuserid'] == $post['userid']">
<img src="images/thread_starter.gif" alt="British Expats Thread Starter"><br />
</vb:if>
<!--end of YoBroMoFo Thread Starter-->


It then appears at the top of the thread starter's posts:

Great mod !! Installed and voted !!

with author's permission i did it by adding these 3 lines of whole code provided by author :
<vb:if condition="$thread['postuserid'] == $post['userid']">
<img src="images/thread_starter.gif" alt="Thread Starter">
</vb:if>

right after lines below :

{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_signature_end}
</div>
</vb:if>

I get this when I try to save the template.

adding child to non-existent node!

I'm adding it like this.

<!--YoBroMoFo Thread Starter-->
<vb:if condition="$post['signature'] OR $thread['postuserid'] == $post['userid']">
<!-- sig -->
<div>
__________________<br />
<vb:if condition="$thread['postuserid'] == $post['userid']">
<img src="images/misc/threadstarter.png" alt="British Expats Thread Starter"><br />
</vb:if>
{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_signature_end}
</div>
</vb:if>
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</vb:if>
<!--end of YoBroMoFo Thread Starter-->

It works for users with sigs fine, I just get the error when I try and add the additional code.

[Da-Vinci]

Still can't get it working with the no sig option, but I thought I'd share my threadstarter.png if anybody wants to use it.

http://nzb-forum.com/images/misc/threadstarter.png

[Xexiu]

how can I make the image appear in the top right corner. I'm using postbit_legacy but I failed on several intents :(.

Can you give me some suggestions please. Thank you.

[Bubble #5]

Works in 4.2.1.
