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
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=161

I just downloaded an installed this plugin yesterday, and thought it was great. Today, my posts are disappearing. It seems that whichever post should be first on all subsequent pages is being "covered up" by the plugin. Does that make sense?

Anyway, when I disabled the product, I can see my posts again. Has anyone else experienced this? I have no code edits and I used the fresh postbit template with only a few edits. The rest of my board uses the postbit_legacy. Running 3.5Rc2.

Hmm. For some reason I am managing to complicate the simple.

I have installed the xml file, in the Product manager, and added the additional template.

I am running RC2 and the legacy style of postbit but for some reason the first post is not showing up. Can't think what I am doing wrong.

Same problem .. disabled plugin and posts re-appeared !?

I had this same problem on my board. Though I'm not using your hack at the moment, I've created my own long ago in 3.0.7 for my hack system. When I had this problem, it was caused by a condition I was using. This was the condition.

<if condition="$forum[ishack] == 1 AND $post[postid] == $GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID']">
&nbsp
<else />
<!-- the rest of the postbit template here -->
</if>

I don't know if you using a simalar condtion, but that will grab the first post and hide it. The only problem is, that will grab the first post on everypage...

The only way I was able to fix this was to create a query that grabed the firstpostid out from the thread table.

Hope this helps you out some. I havn't used your hack yet, But I do plan on using it for my upgraded version of my hack install system.

[ricker]

Hmm, I haven't learned enough about the plugin system yet to troubleshoot this. For now, it seems that this is a very big bug and this should at least be noted in the first post.

I just installed this hack on my test board, and it's working fine. All post are showing up as they should. I tested with old threads that have mutiable pages, and a created 2 new threads that split into mutiable pages. Seems everything is working just fine for me.

Same here.

Do you have a different postbit for the first message?

[Andreas]

Actually the last Post of every Page (that is not the first Page) disappears into Nirvana.
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']--;
    }
} 


[Boofo]

We replace all of this with that?

PHP Code:

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