Multiple thread display like vBulletin.org

[paulyy]

I noticed that vBulletin.org uses different template types for thread display in the "hacks" forums.

For example going here; https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=63140

you get a "normal" display, but if you go here; https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=71481

you get a different first post display template. My forum would make great use of something like these, but more of a car showcase that a hack forum. I searched and one hack came close but the description didn't seem to fit what I want to do properly. How would I go about doing this? Is there a release for the hack vBulletin.org uses or was it internal?

[HiDeo]

This is a Xenon's modification. He don't release this hack yet !!

Wait ....

[traderx]

Man I hate to wait.... LOL

I really like what he has done, nice job:)
**waits for post**

[Xenon]

the general thing is just a template condition

<if condition="$threadinfo['forumid'] == hackforum">
$hackinfos
<else />
normal stuff here
</if>

[paulyy]

I understand what you mean Xenon, but how would that change only the first post, and not all? I assume that's the part that hasn't been released yet ...

[Reeve of shinra]

I think its on vbulltintemplates but it uses conditionals as Xenon mentioned. You could also make that forum use a specific style which would have that code in it.

[traderx]

Hmmm if someone should find it, would you please post the url here pls.

when will the merge start with vbtemplates into org?

[Xenon]

well, that an easy condition as well:

<if condition="$post['postid'] == $threadinfo['firstpostid']">
postbit for first post
<else />
normal postbit
</if>

[paulyy]

So;

<if condition="$threadinfo['6'] == Showroom">
<if condition="$post['postid'] == $threadinfo['firstpostid']">
postbit for first post
</if>
<else />
normal postbit
</if>


Would that be correct?

But then there would be the question of getting 'new fields' to appear in the right places. Is there any chance you will release this hack?

[Xenon]

not in the nearer future, i'm totally overworked with more important things currently..

Where it says postbit for firstpost I believe :)

[Xenon]

without the correct variables, that' won't help you that much ^^

[paulyy]

Yep I know, that's why I didn't bother on my site.

[lancepoint]

fill it in for me xenon... i will do some graphical design work in trade?

[Xenon]

the variables won't help you much either, as long as they aren't definied on your board, and if i would tell you the correct way to define it, then i would have released it already...

[traderx]

any one figure this out yet?

[lolwtfomgoic]

well, that an easy condition as well:

<if condition="$post['postid'] == $threadinfo['firstpostid']">
postbit for first post
<else />
normal postbit
</if>

that doesn't seem to work... only the 'normal postbit' appears for all the posts
