If somebody can help me with some guidance or point me to an existing hack, I'd appreciate it. I'm getting started in trying to integrate VB with Movable Type as a replacement to MT's commenting engine.
When I display the threads, I want to hide (not display at all) the first post in the thread - since that first post will basically be a reiteration of the article text. I've seen the "Hide until reply" hacks, but unfortunately they still show a postbit and they don't specify the first post.
I was able to modify this query in showthread.php to get what I wanted... but obviously this is not ideal:
$totalposts = $threadinfo['replycount'];
$getpostids = $db->query_read("
SELECT postid, visible, userid
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post
WHERE threadid = $threadid
AND visible IN (1
" . (!empty($deljoin) ? ",2" : "") . "
" . ($show['approvepost'] ? ",0" : "") . "
)
ORDER BY dateline $postorder LIMIT 1, $totalposts
"); // LIMIT STATEMENT ADDED FOR MT INTEGRATION
