Is it possible make the design of the first post different than the replies?

Is there a way to do this I couldn't find anything with the search option.

Maybe there's a way to do it with an "if" variable in the postbit template so if it's the first post it posts a different code than the code for the replies?

:ermm:

This is something that I would be interested in as well.

You could try this

<if condition="$postcount == '1'">First Post Code<else />Rest of the Post's Code</if>

I understand the above.. but what if I want "First Post Code" to be something like $newvariable where $newvariable is the output of a new function I've created. Where can I define $newvariable so that this works in the postbit_legacy template ?

Use a hook at location 'postbit_'.

Not sure if it's the same thing, but I ended up creating a 'plugin' and believe I used some postbit 'hook' before I got it to show up right.

Is there some other way to use a "hook" ?

Hook and Plugin are basically synonymous. A hook refers to the location in the coded file where at Plugins will be executed. The Plugin is the code to be executed at said hook.

In any event, just do what you did before - that was right.
