Different postbit display for first post in thread.

[imported_Yoda]

I would like to use the standard postbit for the first post in a thread, and then the legacy postbit for all posts to follow.

Is this possible? If so, can anyone help?

I think this would be great for picture posting forums.... or for anyone else that would like to make the first post stand out more than the replies.

Edit: I apologise... I posted this in the wrong spot.

Moving to design and coding help. Hmm, don't know if this one is possible. Might require hacking.

Yep, you can do it using conditionals.

In the postbit template at the very top put this:

<if condition="$post['postcount'] == 1">

Then at the very end put this:

<else />


Then after that grab all of the code from the postbit_legacy template and through in at the end of the postbit template then after it all put this:

</if>

There ya go. :-)

Just did it myself on my forums, example: http://forums.theglassprison.net/showthread.php?t=79&styleid=36
