Simply download that and input whatever you want into it.

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.

	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.
