Frequently Asked Questions.

Q. Why do I need such a thing, you ask?

A. You may have a thread that has tens or hundreds of pages, and this will allow you to see the original post on all pages, much like you see here on vB.org in the modification threads.

Q. How do I use the custom template?

A. Note: Make sure you know what you are doing if you attempt this!
This may be a bit tricky for some users.

You can copy what ever template you are using, ( postbit or postbit_legacy ) into the template, ozzmodz_firstpost_display_postbit.
Now once you have done that, you can change the styling of the post, by adding css to the elements.
For example, if you want the first post to have a different background, when it is on any other page except for the first page, you can look for this in the template,

<div class="postbody">

and change it to this,

<div class="postbody" style="background: darkgrey;">

That will give the first post a dark grey background on any pages other than the first page.

[RedFoxy]

there is a way to have specific custom template for specific forum/thread?

No, either the standard post bit or a custom one, not multiple templates.

Have you set up the forums for this to work in in the settings?

[goxy63]

Sure, did that for all forums as I need it on all places except for guests

Edit:
For some reason after I marked all forums and clicked "save" settings were not saved...repeated this several times and 3rd time it was saved...for some reason it did not save options first 2 times did not noticed that after first try...it was not marked after save...

Maybe cause I got bunch of forums marked around 30 or so...

Now its ok :]

nominated rated thank you

Edit2:
not nominated as I cant, voted for mod of a month :]

[ozzy47]

That's certainly strange behavior. But glad it's sorted anyway.

[goxy63]

Maybe because I have bunch of forums +30 so...?

Anyways, just one small question:

You can copy what ever template you are using, ( postbit or postbit_legacy ) into the template, ozzmodz_firstpost_display_postbit.
Now once you have done that......

So to copy whole "postbit_legacy" template there and change it within "ozzmodz_firstpost_display_postbit"....I can be free to play with it there no worries for some f*** up ?

[ozzy47]

Correct, that is if you are going to use the custom option.

Copy the entire postbit_legacy to ozzmodz_firstpost_display_postbit, then change the setting to custom.
