Just look in the xml file and it will show you where each piece of code goes.

I see the code, but I'm having trouble figuring out where to insert it in the postbit.

You need to look for the template hooks in the code where I insert it:

Thanks much! Turns out I had forgotten to flush my cache after loading the product so the template edits were actually not needed! :eek:

Ah, so you are running a server cache, I take it? If I had known that I could have saved you some grief.

If I had remembered that I had a cache running, I would have saved myself the grief! But I jumped to the wrong conclusion. I've done some serious customization of the postbit template, laid out here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=250423 and just thought that it was the cause of the issue, instead of thinking about the cache.

The best way to handle things like that is to make sure the hooks are in the template. If they are, then it has to be something else causing the issue, as you found out.

Nice work Boofo

Hi,

when edit a post were the threadstarter icon i visible to the left, it breaks the quick reply box.

Any idea?

vB 4.1.3 - postbit

Post a pic here so I can see what you are talking about.

I have a custom pic but the same goes for default.

Ok, I see what you mean now. I will look into when I have a few minutes.

I do like the custom pic though. Willing to share it?

Boofo, any news about the fix?

thank you boofo ;)

work fine on vb4.1.9, thx!

Installed and working well.

Is there any chance you could please tell me where to look for the colour of the background bar so as I can change it?

The yellow looks a little out of place.

Thanks.

It's working on 4.2, but shouldn't this be upgraded ?

Regards,,

Why? If it works it works.

To test and confirm for people that it's compatible with 4.2 .

You had doubts? ;)

Installed and works as it should on vb 4.2.0

Cool Mod! I didn't even know I needed this until I stumbled upon it. Thanks!

You're very welcome. ;)

Thanks Boofo, we are using this long time,
but could you please upgrade it to be fully compatible with 4.2, so that people know it's tested in latest vb version ?

Although it's working fine in 4.2.

Regards,,

I don't see any sense in upgrading it as it already works on the latest version on vb. I only release updates when something needs to be changed or fixed.

Works very good on 4.2.0

works great on 4.2.0 PL2

Run on cwr.ro vBulletin 4.2.0 Patch Level 3
Thanks

Doesn't work on my forum 4.2.1

Is it supposed to show in the 1st post ? if it is not, how do I make it shown in the 1st post ?
Thanks,

Any solution how to fix this?

Seems to work in 4.2.1..

I guess we don't need it in the first post, because that may well be the person who started the thread right?

Great stuff...

Why does the icon show more than once?

The further I go through the thread, the more times the icon shows...

Does it correspond with the number of threads created?

Thanks...

That's how it should work, the Thread icon should show each time the poster who started the Thread posts replies. So everyone posting knows that poster is the one who started the Thread.
Many times after a few pages you forget who started the Thread, this way you know that the a certain poster who is replying is the 'Thread Starter' :D

Maybe you are right, maybe you are wrong...?

I think it has something to do with another mod.. I have the same issue with thumbs.
If you check the picture, you will understand more.

This was my favorite "Thread Starter" hack but lately it has been acting up.

Using 4.2.1 - and now every time the tread starter replies in the tread an EXTRA thread starter indicator is added.

So if it's the 3rd time they've responded in the thread, you see the thread starter icon 3 times, if it's the 5th time they've responded in the thread, you see the thread starter icon 5 times, etc.. See screenshot.

Any idea on how to resolve this? :confused:

I had a similar issue. Then I went to the plug in manager and disabled all but the thread starter plug in and the issue was resolved. I then enabled each plug in 1 by 1 until I found the conflict.

Thanks DemOnstar :up: I actually deleted it and made my own. I placed the image under where ranks is and it looks really nice.

Clever chap..... Happy to hear that the mod is still workable....
