Well, TO ME is annoying that everything is in posbit_article mode by default, so... to choose the default posbit, in the XML search:

default:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_articles';

So, change postbit_articles for the default mode you like.

These are the four options you can use:

postbit_legacy
postbit_articles
postbit_flipped
postbit (this is the normal mode)

So, then you import the product (reeplacing the old one by this one).

PD: Don't know if this was posted already on this thread.
PD2: Atakan KOC, YOU ARE THE MAN!!! I've been waiting for this since march!!

[Aydeniz]

Is that posibble to restrict this to some usergroups ? Anyway , great job Atakan ...

1. There were an option to selectively have the first post repeat itself. May not want the 1st post to display on every thread.

2. An option in the admin panel to give the moderators or users an oppurtunity to post those articles indivdually regardless of the forum. Say make it usergroup based.

3. or maybe add a usergroup called articled which you can add indivuals too to give them the choice of posting regular threads or articles.

hoe can i have the content in the right side instead of left side?

[Theoldwiz]

I wish you could set what you wanted as default. I cant use this if my users have to pick what they want every thread, because I want to force them to use one thing.

[Zaiaku]

Damn I love this mod!

This is a great mod... what would make it even better is to somehow FRAME the first post in a different color and/or a dividing border to make it stand out on subsequent pages.

[Daisy EE8]

installed and MOTM!

Many thanks!!!:up:

[bigcurt]

I just want the first post showed on every page..that simple. How can I do that? I know I can do it with this mod but this mod also allows people to choose how they post in the forum and all and I do not need/want that.

[Tim_GPN]

Great mod, however it wont work for me for some reason.

I just get a huge database error? Any ideas?
