Help getting variables in showthread template

Hi there

I need help getting the posted by username / time / date variables in the showthread template. I can access all of these variables in the postbits template by using the following vaiables -

> $post[username]
> $post[posttime]
> $post[postdate]

I need to access these variables in the showthread template - can anybody help?

thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you mean. There's only one post associated with each use of the postbit template, but there may be many posts on the showthread page.

Well I have a title block in the showthread template, where I would like to display the posters username, the time of the post and the post date. I know the variables above are post specific, but is there a way of getting the initial post information (first post in list) into the showthread template? Does VB have standard variables for this like $thread[posted_by] / $thread[posted_time] ect?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried:

Quote:

> $postinfo[username]
> $postinfo[posttime]
> $postinfo[postdate]

Quote:

> $thread[username]
> $thread[posttime]
> $thread[postdate]

Quote:

> $threadinfo[username]
> $threadinfo[posttime]
> $threadinfo[postdate]

@Boofo I tried all the the above and none of those variables worked in the showthread template.. I use $thread[title] to pick up the title of the thread so I can't understand why other $thread[] variables don't work! Do you think a hack would be needed?

*Exactly* what did you put into the SHOWTHREAD template that didn't work? $threadinfo is the correct variable.

Ok I am using this code in showthread -

Code:



<div id="page_title">

<h1>$thread[title]</h1>

</div>

<div class="secondary_info">

<span class="the_post_date">Posted by $threadinfo[username] on

<if condition="!$show['announcement']">

$threadinfo[postdate]<if condition="!$show['detailedtime']">, $threadinfo[posttime]</if>

<else />

<phrase 1="$post[startdate]" 2="$post[enddate]">$vbphrase[x_until_y]</phrase>

</if>

/ <b>37 replies</b></span>

<span class="facebookBut">

<fb:like href="#" layout="button_count" show_faces="false" width="350" action="recommend" font="tahoma" class="fb_like_but"></fb:like>

</span>

</div>

The $thread[title] variable works, but the others do not.

As already explained, $post will NOT work in the SHOWTHREAD template. You will need to use $thread or $threadinfo. Also, take a look at the thread table to find out what the variable names are. postdate is not a field in the thread table - dateline is the field that holds the first post date and lastpost is the field that holds the last post date.

I have tried:

Code:

Posted by $threadinfo[username] on $threadinfo[dateline], $threadinfo[lastpost]

and:

Code:

Posted by $thread[username] on $thread[dateline], $thread[lastpost]

And still it does not work - I am going to look at the thread table variables to see if I can work it out, thanks for your help.

Did you try $threadinfo[postusername] ?
