Default text to display in every first post

I'm trying to display some text which will show in every first post in every thread, but I also only want it to display in a specific forum section. The id of the forum is definitely 22 and I've already found some code which apparently should work.

Here is the code I am currently using in the template "ad_showthread_firstpost_start".

Code:

<vb:if condition="$forum[forumid] == 22">



This is the custom text.



</vb:if>

However for some reason this text doesn't display at all in the threads in the specified forum.

If I remove the if condition then the text displays fine, but it obviously then displays in every single thread on the site.

I am testing this on a dev forum so the forums are turned off. I can't see that being an issue but thought worth mentioning in case.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

Have you tried using $thread rather than $forum ?

Thanks for the help.

I hadn't tried that until you just suggested it but sadly it didn't make any difference. :(

Has anyone on here ever tried to get default text into the first post of every threads in a specific forum?

Must be someone on here! Any help on how to do it would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Looking at the code, you cannot do this without a using a hook.

No variables other than the adsense details are registered for that template when its created, so you need to pre-register either $forum or $thread.

PHP Code:


		
			
vB_Template::preRegister('ad_showthread_firstpost_start',array('thread' => $thread));

The 'postbit_display_complete' hook should be ok to use.

Thanks once more for the help!

Unfortunately I haven't done any work with hooks before so not sure where to start!

Where would I find the 'postbit_display_complete' hook? Thanks again.

Go to admincp > Plugins and Products > Add New Plugin and the hooks location is a dropdown and you will find it there.

Is there any way to adapt this so that the text is entered into the post box while the user is typing the post?

I want to have default text in my for sale sections so users will know what is expected in terms of info.

Go search for the Stencil Mod. That should do what you want.
