Question about vB.org's Postbit
 

I want to do something similar for just one forum on my site, involving computer modifications and such. Is vB.org's postbit a hack or just a template edit? My end goal is to have required fileds in the post bit, set aside from the normal textbox.

So I guess my question is, is this a hack that was released?

Profile fields can easily be displayed in the postbit by using $post[fieldX]

That's a template edit and doesn't have anything to do with modifying the php files.

Basically I want the first post of each thread in that forum to resemble the way the hacks are presented here, but not for the same purpose. What you're saying is that this can be done with a template edit? If so, which template is it that needs to be edited?

This is very close to what I'd like to achieve, obviously with my own site style.

Unfortunately, the code used to do our modifications database is custom to vBulletin.org. Stefan (Xenon) did say he might release it one day but due to his busy schedule he said it won't be for a long while yet.

That's unfortunate, but I can definitely understand. Thanks for answering :)

first post on every page of thread - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=71224
this will display the first post of a thread on each page of the thread.

first post conditionals - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=67365
this will allow you to change the style of the first post, also can be used to only generate the different style in a particular forum(s)

i think someone released a "different first post" mod over at vBT then, for the appear on every page thing that was released here :)

Thanks man, I think this is gonna work beautifully :D

np :)

@sabre - as i mentioned above, the conditionals are posted in the thread here that i linked to, along with a different way of realising it with php.

sorry base, didn't see your post before i posted, had the page open too long :o

I made a postbit like it on vbulletin.nl

Only if it is a single line text box data. Not multiple selection box menu data. DO you know how to show that?

Oh hey, your style looks like vb.org's Dark Blue ;)

Who's does?

yes it does indeed

if You're referring to the screenshot posted above, that IS vbulletin.org. I took a screen shot and altered it in Photoshop to make the layout what I was interested in displaying. Although my site is blue, it's definitely not the same shade ;)
