Simple modification that adds an image next to the thread starter's username.

Congrats on your first mod. :)

Just tried to install this to be able to give you some feedback. It isn't too clear where you should add $thread_starter_img in the navbar template. Not everybody knows where they have to put the code to make it work, and if you put it at the wrong place, you'll get an annoying error when you want to view a topic.

Maybe you could add to your instructions where you have to place the code so the image will show up where you meant it to be?

Thanks for the feedback. It's intended for the postbit, I have updated the instructions here for a guide as to where to add it :)

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_first() on a non-object in forum/includes/class_postbit.php(265) : eval()'d code on line 3

This is the error I get when enabling your product and visit one of my forums. First I thought it was because of the wrong place for the code, but it disappears when I disable your product.

But thanks for adding the example. :)

Have you updated your vBulletin version? I was getting this error on my test board for some strange reason. As you can see, it works fine on the demo board.

Are there any other modifications you have installed?

It's the most recent version of vBulletin.

Yep, I do, a few. I've disabled all of them now to check if something is conflicting. I can now see my the forums again, but upon clicking a thread or trying to make a thread, I get that error message again.

I am slightly confused with this, since I don't have that much experience with vBulletin I can't give you a solution right away using vBulletin code. I can give you one that should work in normal PHP code.

I will have to look into this as to why it won't work on certain boards.

Don't worry about it, it's a testboard anyway. Hope you'll figure it out, it seems like a nice mod.

Okays, I have posted a thread in the programming area for some help. I will post here as soon as I do get some information.

Thanks again :)

You can also go to my forum if you wish to get some other resources and help :)

thanks

demo plz

Demo is at http://www.adminfuel.com

Updated with less code. Much simpler and should now work anywhere. I am sorry about this, I am just not familiar with all the variables yet.

Thanks :)

It works now, nice job. :)

And don't worry about it, everybody has got to learn. Hope you'll continue to make nice mods.

Thanks a lot :) Glad it works. I am starting off with the small edits to get things going and to learn the structure.


Thanks :)

I'll gladly test again if you release another mod. Good luck! :)

Sorry but people do not have all day to hunt around for an example of what this hack is supposed to look:o like. Please post a simple screenshot of what it looks like. Thank you.

Here, because you've asked so nicely.

It ads a small image at each post of the topic starter.

Thanks Sador :)

Isn't a pencil typically the 'edit' icon?

It is. But I can see how it could be thread starter as well.

You could of course change it to any kind of image by changing the image with the one you want. (I would make sure it's the same size though)

Simply change the image :) It can be anything you wish

Thanks, I chage the image for this other:

I have not tested it on 3.6 versions, but I assume it would work as there aren't many edits.

Try it on a DEMO board first, and not your live board :)
