If no thread reply, then show custom message

Hey guys,

I'd like to have a custom message shown below the first post of a showthread page if no one has replied to the thread yet.

I believe it would be something like this in English:

Code:

If there's a #2 post then show it and all others following.



Else, show a message saying "No one has repleid yet - be the first!"

Though, I don't have a clue and wouldn;t know how to do this. I believe it would be in the showthread template?

Any one know how to do this?

Thanks!

I don't know if this might help:

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1">

<else />

</if>

That conditional will work only with the first post, but won't know if there are any more posts. Wish I could help you better.

Yeh that sprung to my mind but don't think it can be used for this.

Wouldn't it need to be 2 or greater. Possibly even greater than 1.

We need an expert! :)

I'm not even sure where the if statement should sit if we conjure something up.

Can't see where in the showthread, if it's meant to go there... it's past me. And I have the replies templated differently to the main thread using the "if postcount=1".

sorry to bump but has anyone with more knowledge got any idea? I'd love to have this functionality.

Thanks!

OK this one is working for me so far. It was too simple as you suggested.

Code:

<if condition="in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array(showthread)) AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] >= 1">

Not sure if it's fully correct, but in my case if there are no replies to first post I can hide the ads of last post to show up below ads from first post.

How would this be written? And would it be on the postbit_legacy template or the showthread template?

I tried:

Code:



<if condition="in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array(showthread)) AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] >= 1">



ALL POSTBIT REPLY CONTENT



<else />



ggg



</if>

and also

Code:



<if condition="in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array(showthread)) AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] >= 1">



ggg



<else />



ALL POSTBIT REPLY CONTENT



</if>

But neither worked. (probably wrong) - one of them replaced each reply with ggg and the other did nothing.

Maybe, if anyone knows how to make an if statement that says:

IF a certain threads reply count is less than 1

Show custom code

ELSE show replies

??

I added that code in postbit_legacy template, just above the attachments area

Code:

<if condition="in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array(showthread)) AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] >= 1">



Anything goes in here



</if>

                <if condition="$show['attachments']">

I hope that helps.

I managed to get it working myself :)

I used this:

Code:

<if condition="in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array(showthread)) AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] <= 1">



<table style="margin-top: 8px;" width="100%" class="tborder">

<tr>

<td align="center">

No one has replied to this thread yet. Post a reply now.

</td>

</tr>

</table>



</if>

You can see that it doesn't show here:

But it does here:

:D Thanks for the help!
