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:

Templates for first post:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=124

Could it be possible that the posts are cached somehow?

Your absolutely right Kirby, I didn't make it as first as 3 pages. Since the bug report said the first post on all pages. Thanks for that fix, works like a charm!

No. If you do that Postcounts will get messed up.

Explaining in detail why this does happen is not that easy, therefor i'll just post the fix

Hook: showthread_postbit_create

PHP Code:

if ($post['postid'] == $thread['firstpostid'] AND $vbulletin->GPC['pagenumber'] > 1)
{
    $counter--;
} 


Edit:
As this Hack already has Code on this Hook, replace that with

PHP Code:

if ($forum['showfirstpost'] AND $vbulletin->GPC['pagenumber'] > 1)
{
    if ($post['postid'] == $thread['firstpostid'])
    {
        $counter--;
        $post['postcount'] = '';
    }
    else
    {
        $post['postcount']--;
    }
} 


Sorry, so what exactly are we supposed to do here? I found the code I just want to make sure I edit it correctly.

As said, replace the Code that is currently on Hook showthread_postbit_create with the 2nd Code I posted (basically it's the first Code merged with the existing Code ).

LOL You posted that just a split second after I posted my question. Great minds think alike?
