[Guest201202001]

The problem consist that everybody can see it only an custom usergroup no..

[Kadi]

Didn't work for me. Would be appreciated if this was updated for 3.6.4.

[DjTaz]

worked great for me - ill update if i have any issues - thanks

[jklincoln]

Everything is working fine for me in vB 3.6.3 however I'm finding that the width of the first post is not as wide as the reply posts or the tool bar above. I've checked the table width and it's set to 100%. Not sure what else to do and was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem.

Thanks

Same here. The first post is not as wide, but it is centred so it doesn't look too messy.

Another "issue" with this mod on 3.6.4 is that the multi-quote button is not available in that first post.

[AndyP]

will mutilquote system work on this if I copy/paste postbiy or postbit_legacy to the postbit_first template?
Is this the answer?

[DjTaz]

Im not on 3.6 so i cant really speak for it , but i edited the first_post template in 3.5 to suit my needs and it worked out quite well.

I added things like <if condition="$post[postcount] == ''"><br><b>Original Post:</b></if>

and also <if condition="$post[postcount] != ''">HERE I PUT IN THE SECTION WITH THE USERNAMES POST COUNTS , ETC ETC </if>

so that the initial post on the top of the page looked a lot different.
I had some changes if it was the initial post , and excluded other sections for the same reason.

The initial post ended up looking like this

[djjeffa]

im wondering if there is a way to make it an option in any post instead of making it everyone in that section.

bump!!!!

[vBintense]

Sorry I have not been very active as of late, just now getting back to the communities after working on many other projects offline.

It is possible but would totally change the hack, and something I have found no need for in my communities.

ok thanks for responding, ill take a shot at it but im sure i wont figer it out lol
i have sections with a few tutatorials and for the post that are tutatorials i woull like to make them like that , even if i had to do it from the admin cp

[Smoothie]

The problem with this mod is if you let members select which postbit to use, or if you use postbit legacy. There should be 2 templates to this mod.

[Chicago_VLNU_4s]

Is there a way for this to only work on selected forums, not all forums?

[stan111]

which one should i dl? there are two files

[Blindchild02]

Hm, is there a way to add another one, because I want a certain postbit for one forum, and i'd like a different postbit for my news forum... and I want both to show on all pages.. does that make sense? :p I tried to edit the product, and I was unsuccessful :(

any help would be great, thanks

UPDATE forum SET showfirstpost = 1
You may have to add your preffix if you use one.
The original question was how to have the Add New Forum page have the "checked" value of showfirstpost be Yes by default. What you suggest will set all forums to show the first post, correct? This is different than having the default set to Yes, which your solution does not do.

[COBRAws]

This does not work on 3.6.4, ALL posts on a particular thread on a particular forum where this hack is enabled, all share the same postbit, not only the first post as it should.

:S
Anyone help please? I can go and work it around with GARS, but I dont want to use it in that paarticular forum I have.

[TheDPQ]

Works great THANKS!

[Desibabu19]

I just downloaded and installed this product. This is really useful product.

I have one problem.

It displays the first message in all pages only if the setting is

Thread Display Mode = Linear Newest First ( User CP >> Edit Options )

It does NOT work if the setting is,

Thread Display Mode = Linear Oldest First ( User CP >> Edit Options )

Many of our members use both settings. Is there a fix ?

FYI ,I am using 3.6.4

[Kadi]

I'm using 3.6.4 and it didnt work for me. How can it work for some and not others??? :confused:

This hack is really useful I'm surprised it hasn't been updated.

[kafi]

It would be nice to upgrade this wonderfull hack.

I run this on my 3.6.4 version. It was working after update but I had to make template changes due to multi-quoting and other stuff that was removed or added in postbit templates.

I tried installing it several versions back. I think it was 3.6.3...not sure.

When I did all it did was seperate the first post by removing the post #. And the tables were messed up.

It's most likely my mistake so I'll try again later.

[nashtash]

i just installed it, and im running 3.6.5, works fine. I just wish that the template was alot better >.<

[Gbml2u]

the width of first post become too large after installed

[taheri6]

it works fine for me on 3.6.5 - but I was wondering if I can make it that the postbit_first template is only used on all pages BUT the first page, so on the first page its normal postbit and then every other page it uses postbit_first

Incase you haven't discovered how to do this, in the instructions it says copy everything from postbit into postbit_first. If I'm understanding your question correctly, all you would need to do is copy everything from postbit_legacy into postbit_first.

I've also got this running fine on 3.6.5 by the way.

[Dave Hawley]

This would nice as an option. Personally I find it quite annoying the way this forum shows the 1 post on every page.

[GuaRRand]

I dont seem to be able to get it to 100% width of my forum.

Tried a few different firstpost.txt files... but all seem be at around 80-90% width...

ANy ideas?

You can easily do this by copying your regular postbit content to the top of the postbit_first and sort of do the following with a conditional around it: <if condition="$post[postcount]==1">

Your regular postbit content here

<else />

the postbit_first content you want on all other pages

</if>

Good luck!

Hmm, for some reason I had it installed on a vB 3.6.5 forum before, but now I'm trying to install it on another 3.6.5 forum but it's not working there. Bummer :(.

EDIT: Nevermind, it works perfectly. I uploaded the product I used at the other forum, in which I added a conditional for a $post[userid]. Thanks again for the great hack, it's been so much easier than adding forumid conditionals into the regular postbit templates!

That's wrong :D
Because the postcount for that is always 1, since the forst post is only shown on every page, not copied.

I managed to do this this way:

AdminCP->Plugins & Products->Plugin Manager

edit: Show First Post from hook location: postbit_display_complete

Modify the PHP code like this:

if ($this->forum['showfirstpost']==1 AND $post['postid']==$this->thread['firstpostid'] AND $vbulletin->GPC['pagenumber'] > 1){
$this->templatename = 'postbit_first';
}

This way, the plugin is used for all the pages except the first page, where it's used the normal vB postbit template.

tthis way, you can edit the postbit_first template without affecting the first post on the first page.

[Saskia]

Ah yes of course that was wrong. Haha. My defense: I'm blonde :p.

worked at 3.6.8 ???

[redmondtm]

Not sure if this hack is compatible with 3.6.8. Ive tired to install it several times with no luck.

[craiovaforum]

on my forum it works

[redmondtm]

Not if you view the last posted thread from your forumhome.

[ahtum]

So i'm using 3.6.5 and when I install this and enable it, the first post completely disappears.

[cuphongle]

So i'm using 3.6.5 and when I install this and enable it, the first post completely disappears.

maybe because you need to create a new template called "posbit_first"
and then copy the stuff on "posbit" or "posbit_legacy" and paste it in there.

and bam...it should be good!

[pxd]

What are the changes from the previous version? Any important ones that I should upgrade to?

[accessdeniedzzz]

Possible to add collapse??

[Saskia]

Possible to add collapse??
I'd say just add a collapse code to the postbit_first template if you want it to collapse, no?

If you don't know the code, just take a look at any vB template (for instance forumhome) for how the collapse code functions :). Good luck.

[Fraxter]

[Super Jinni]

can anyone -please- tell me how to make the options to turn this hack on/off from the create new thread page not from the forum options so that I can enable some this hack for some threads and disable it for others in the same forum?

[high76]

I managed to do this this way:

AdminCP->Plugins & Products->Plugin Manager

edit: Show First Post from hook location: postbit_display_complete

Modify the PHP code like this:

if ($this->forum['showfirstpost']==1 AND $post['postid']==$this->thread['firstpostid'] AND $vbulletin->GPC['pagenumber'] > 1){
$this->templatename = 'postbit_first';
}

This way, the plugin is used for all the pages except the first page, where it's used the normal vB postbit template.

Sadly this hack doesnt seem to work properly on latest 3.7.2, the mod itself works fine. postbit_first is never used this way, all pages use the normal postbit. Anyone knows whats the problem here with the AND $vbulletin->GPC['pagenumber'] > 1 code?

EDIT: solved...
AND $_REQUEST['pagenumber'] > 1
works ;)

[Mysterious Ride]

I install this so the first post can be on all pages and the option is up the Manage for option, but with I click it to yes show first post on all pages it doesn't show the first post at all on any of my thread already up. Not sure what to do.

[Mysterious Ride]

Nevermind I got it to work. ^.^
