First post on every page of thread.

I had a use for it, so I thought I would share it.

Requires no file edits (Thanks Kirby!).
Adds no quarys when viewing threads

This is something like here on vbulletin.org , it allows you to select forums where the first post of the thread is shown thru out the thread.

It uses stock template looks now , if someone wishes to make a template and share it feel free.

I will offer support as I can.

Ps. If you install this hack please click the install :nervous:

maybe because you need to create a new template called "posbit_first"
and then copy the stuff on "posbit" or "posbit_legacy" and paste it in there.

and bam...it should be good!

What are the changes from the previous version? Any important ones that I should upgrade to?

I'd say just add a collapse code to the postbit_first template if you want it to collapse, no?

If you don't know the code, just take a look at any vB template (for instance forumhome) for how the collapse code functions . Good luck.

can anyone -please- tell me how to make the options to turn this hack on/off from the create new thread page not from the forum options so that I can enable some this hack for some threads and disable it for others in the same forum?

$this->templatename = 'postbit_first';
}

This way, the plugin is used for all the pages except the first page, where it's used the normal vB postbit template.

Sadly this hack doesnt seem to work properly on latest 3.7.2, the mod itself works fine. postbit_first is never used this way, all pages use the normal postbit. Anyone knows whats the problem here with the

AND $vbulletin->GPC['pagenumber'] > 1

code?

EDIT: solved...

AND $_REQUEST['pagenumber'] > 1

works
