Insert a faux post between the first and second posts

I am trying to insert a faux post between the first and second post of a thread.

I can't quite get if figured out.

I have a template modeled after the postbit template called postbit_faux.

Code:

<li class="postbitlegacy postbitim postcontainer" id="post_faux">

        <div class="posthead">

                        <span class="faux-header">Community FAQ</span>

        </div>

        <div class="postbody">

                <div class="postrow">

                        <div id="post_message_faux">

                                {vb:raw fauxmessage}

                        </div>

                </div>

        </div>

        <div class="faux-postfoot">

                <a href="faux.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}t={vb:raw threadid}"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/edit.gif" alt="{vb:rawphrase edit_delete_lock_faux}" border="0" /></a>

        </div>

        <hr />

</li>

I am using the following hooks

Code:

Hook location: cache_templates



// for a single template

if ($THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread') {

    $cache[] = 'postbit_faux';

}

Code:

Hook location: showthread_postbit_create



    // posbit 

        $templater = vB_Template::create('postbit_faux'); 

            $templater->register('fauxmessage',$thread['fauxmessage']; 

            $templatevalues['fauxmessage'] = $templater->render(); 

        vB_Template::preRegister('SHOWTHREAD', $templatevalues);

The template does not cache (it shows up in red) and the template is not being displayed.

I have been following this thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ht=preregister) but no love.

I looked at this thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=279650) and though the may be the ticket but I did not want to modify the postbit template.

Can I use a hook to accomplish what is in the above thread?

The template isn't cached because it isn't $THIS_SCRIPT, it should be simply THIS_SCRIPT.

And what did you add to the SHOWTHREAD template to get this code/template to display? Since all the posts are added by this single line in that template, I really can't see how you think what you are doing is going to add something between the first and second post:

HTML Code:

{vb:raw postbits}

I used this if statement to intercept the create of the postbit.

Code:

if ($show['fauxcanview'] === true AND $counter == 1 AND $fetchtype == 'post' AND $post['visible'] == 1) 

    { 

MY CODE HERE

    }

I don't see how that is going to work in the SHOWTHREAD template. $postbits is already defined by the time the template is being rendered, so exactly how are you going to slip a post into that array while in the SHOWTHREAD template?

We already have a mod for inserting messages/ads where you are asking for them.

Simply download that and input whatever you want into it.

OK - I missed the last part of my if statement.

Code:

    if ($show['fauxcanview'] === true AND $counter == 1 AND $fetchtype == 'post' AND $post['visible'] == 1) 

    { 

        require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php'); 

        $bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list()); 

        $thread['fauxmessage'] = $bbcode_parser->parse($thread['fauxmessage'], $foruminfo['forumid']); 



            $templater = vB_Template::create('postbit_faux'); 

            $templater->register('fauxmessage',$thread['fauxmessage']; 

            $templatevalues['fauxmessage'] = $templater->render(); 

        vB_Template::preRegister('SHOWTHREAD', $templatevalues);



   eval('$template_hook[\'postbit_end\'] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_faux') . '";'); 

    }

I'll take a look. We don't what every forum to have this. But I can probably modify to suit.

Thanks!! I think I see my issue. I need to use the $template_hook.

OK - here is my final code.

I used the showthread_post_start hook location instead of the postbit_display_complete. I don't know if it make a difference both are only called once.

Code:

        if ($show['fauxcanview'] === true AND $counter == 1 AND $fetchtype == 'post' AND $post['visible'] == 1)

        {

                $templater = vB_Template::create('postbit_faux');

                        $templater->register('fauxmessage', $threadinfo['fauxmessage']);

                        $templater->register('threadid', $threadinfo['threadid']);

                $template_hook['postbit_end'] .= $templater->render();  

        }

This is not an ad. It is a user created post that can summarize a thread. Such as if a thread goes on for 50 pages you can continue to pull the best or updated info to the front. A good example is when some one here posts a mod and then "reserves" the first post after the mod post. You don't have to do that since you will always have that for your use.
