Hi Lynne
Thanks for the reply and sorry for the confusion. I'll try explain in more detail.

As mentioned before, we're essentially styling the download manager plugin, vbdynamix. Each download has a details page, where you can post updates in the form of posts and optionally allow users to reply etc. This part of the page seems is handled by vb. Since we've told VBD to use its own template, we can go crazy on it without worrying about messing up the main forum.

My aim with this project is to get the downloads page to look un-forum-y as possible This is what i have in the downloads details page (ADV_DYNA_SHOWENTRY):

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post[postcount] == '1'">
  <div id="updates">
    <h2>Update Stream:</h2>
    <ul>$postbit</ul>
  </div>
</if> 


I tried the conditional posts check you suggested, but unfortunately it didnt work.

In the postbit_legacy i have this:

PHP Code:

<li class="updates">
$template_hook[postbit_start]
$template_hook[postbit_messagearea_start]
<p class="update-date">$post[postdate]</p>
<p class="update-message">$post[message]</p>
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6)"><a href="$post[editlink]" name="vB::QuickEdit::$post[postid]">Edit</a></if>
$template_hook[postbit_end]
</li> 


and the postbit_wrapper i have this (there was a bunch of other unnecessary html which i stripped out):

PHP Code:

$postbit 


Hope this helps..
Cheers,
Chris
