Is it possible to enable this for certain threads only?
As in, in my case I'd like for users to be able to check a checkbox "Article" and use this mod, otherwise the post is a regular thread.

Go into the forum setup and choose the setting...

Is there any way to have the chief posts postbit_legacy coding? I want all of my posts to actually look like the first one.

KevinL · #55 07-21-2009, 12:08 PM

What?

Mahar · #56 07-21-2009, 12:40 PM

His first screenshot....I want to instead of making all replies look like comments with no stats or anything, I want it to look like the chief post.

KevinL · #57 07-21-2009, 01:44 PM

Well..yeah, you have the 4 options that are shown to you. You mentioned something about the postbit legacy, that is one of the options you have. So the first post will look like the 'article' then all the rest will look like the legacy...

In the attachments in the first post it shows all the different styles......

Mahar · #58 07-21-2009, 06:37 PM

I'd like all of my posts to look like this, not just one like that, all posts in specific forums.

Wicked mod.... strange though.... all screwed up in IE but works great in fire fox...

Cant download attachments and looks all over the place in IE

Cheers

Can i see your screen shot?

I'm still using his old version.....tho

da_judge · #61 07-21-2009, 08:58 PM

I found the problem lol

In ada_postbit_articles

Search for

Code:

<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a>

then remove the M which looks like typo

Code:

$post[musername]

so it reads

Code:

$post[username]

Worked for me
