Change look of first post in thread

[xQuEeNzNaZcHox]

I want to change how the first post in every thread looks. Is this possible?

[Michael Morris]

Yes, but it's not easy. Do you want it to display on all pages?

Wait a second - yes it is (eureka moment)

Open your postbit template in and insert this at the very beginning

<if condition="$post['id']==$thread['firstpostid']">

Code for the appearance of the first post

<else />

Now go to the very end of the postbit and insert a closing </if> marker.

Thanks. :) What if I want to make it specific to a certain forum?

<if condition="$post['id']==$thread['firstpostid']
AND $foruminfo['forumid']=='X'">

Where X is the forum id.

Hmm... Ah.. Here it is

<if condition="$post[postid] == $thread[firstpostid]">

And to do it for one forum only


<if condition="$post[postid] == $thread[firstpostid]
AND $forum['forumid']=='X'">
