Hi,

1. Is it possible that only defined usergroups are allowed to change the postbit type?
2. It would be nice to be able to set the postbit default tpye for every single forum. Can this be done?

For me the 4 types are same

when I changed, I don't find any differences

[maf1973]

It is possible to disable the Thread Type Setting ?

I used the following modification to only allow usergroup 6 to choose the Thread type.
Thanks Spermy

1. In the postbit_select template

Default

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="fieldset">
<tr>
<td>
$vbphrase[cp_ttype]:<br />
<select name="ttype" tabindex="1">
<option value="1">Postbit Article</option>
<option value="2">Postbit Flipped</option>
<option value="3">Postbit Normal</option>
<option value="4">Postbit Legacy</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Change to

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="fieldset">
<tr>
<td>
$vbphrase[cp_ttype]:<br />
<select name="ttype" tabindex="1">
<option value="1">Postbit Normal</option>
<option value="2">Postbit Flipped</option>
<option value="3">Postbit Article</option>
<option value="4">Postbit Legacy</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

2. In Chief Post - Postbit Display Complete Plugin

Default

if ($this->forum['chiefpost']==1 AND $post['postid']==$this->thread['firstpostid'])
{
switch ($this->thread['ttype'])
{
case 1: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_articles';
break;
case 2: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_flipped';
break;
case 3: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit';
break;
case 4: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_legacy';
break;
default:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_articles';
break;
}
}

Change to

if ($this->forum['chiefpost']==1 AND $post['postid']==$this->thread['firstpostid'])
{
switch ($this->thread['ttype'])
{
case 1: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_legacy';
break;
case 2: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_flipped';
break;
case 3: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit';
break;
case 4: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_articles';
break;
default:
$this->templatename = 'postbit';
break;
}
}

And i added <if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6)"> at the begining In the postbit_select template and </if> at the end so only Admins can use this.

Hope this helps you guys using normal postbit.
