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.

Hi
I have vbulletin 4.2.2 and I have installed this mod, but not work. How i set a first post in a existing thread? Because I not see any options.

Thank you

[ozzy47]

There is s option to set this on a forum level or by thread id's in the mod settings.

[dny18]

Yes I try to set forum level and also the thread id, but I not see any option to set the first post.

Can you help me?

Thank you

[ozzy47]

If you have it set by forum or thread, when you navigate to any page other than page one, the first post of the thread should be the first post displayed.

[dny18]

Ok but in a existing thread with some messages, Can I set a specific message how first post?

[ozzy47]

No, it is only the first post of the thread that will show as the first post on all pages.

[dny18]

Ops, sorry and thank you for your time.

[ozzy47]

Not a problem.

Just to ask and if there was already this feature request, ignore.

Could you make it that we can select first post visible on all pages from front end, for example admin tools, or inline moderation options?

It would be much easier and all moderators then would be able to use this mod without admin assistance.

[ozzy47]

Ummm, that may be possible, but it would require a bit of work, as I would need to store the info into the DB, instead of a setting in the ACP.
