Anyway to get the poster's username in the threadbit_display hook?

[BirdOPrey5]

$post[username] doesn't work. :confused:

[mahz]

try $this->registry->post[username]

[BirdOPrey5]

try $this->registry->post[username]

That actually caused a fatal error when trying to view the forum. :(

Also I wasn't using $post[username] but $vbulletin->post[username] that wasn't working.

Have you tried $threadinfo[username]?

[BirdOPrey5]

Just did, it also comes up blank/isn't available.

[Boofo]

$vbulletin->userinfo[username]

[BirdOPrey5]

$vbulletin->userinfo[username]

The problem with that is it shows the username of the user logged in, I'm looking for the username of the thread/post creator.

Try:

$thread['postusername']

[BirdOPrey5]

Try:

$thread['postusername']

Perfect, Thanks!

The easiest way to find out things like this is to do a text search in the files for things like "threadbit_display". Once you find what files the hook is in, it is fairly easy to see how they are calling variables.

Thanks for the tip.
