Show Thread Enhancements - Thread Starter Image in Postbit for OP

This modification is simple. It will display a 'Thread Starter' graphic on all posts made by the original poster ("The OP") in each thread.

Only 1 image upload and 1 template edit required to make this work.

Step 1 - Upload the OP.png image to your forum's /images folder.

Step 2 - In your postbit_legacy template...

FIND

{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_userinfo_left}
<vb:if condition="$show['reputation']">

ABOVE that code ADD

<!-- SHOW OP IMAGE FOR POSTS -->

<vb:if condition="$thread[postusername]==$post[username]">
<div align="left" style="float:left;padding:7px;margin-bottom:5px;background-color:#252525;border:1px solid #000000;">
<img src="images/OP.png" alt="{vb:raw post.username} started this thread." />
</div>
</vb:if>

<!-- SHOW OP IMAGE FOR POSTS -->

That's it

Agreed. But good idea

[Justinphx]

Nice. Great idea.

[Dorgham]

Thanks
I liked this idea very

This is a good idea, but the background and border make it look really ugly, so I would suggest removing the bit in red

<!-- SHOW OP IMAGE FOR POSTS -->

<vb:if condition="$thread[postusername]==$post[username]">
<div align="left" style="float:left;padding:7px;margin-bottom:5px;background-color:#252525;border:1px solid #000000;">
<img src="images/OP.png" alt="{vb:raw post.username} started this thread." />
</div>
</vb:if>

<!-- SHOW OP IMAGE FOR POSTS -->

Also for 4.2 Patch 3 the find is wrong, if you place it below this code :

					<dd id="reppower_{vb:raw post.postid}_{vb:raw post.userid}">{vb:raw post.reppower}</dd> 
						</vb:if>
					</vb:if>
				</dl>
				</vb:if>

It will appear above the contact icons
