kinda like vb.org as in the first post will show on all pages after the first page. So the original post that started the thread will be seen first on page 6, 7, 8, .. etc ...

I notice the first post also changes to article by default?

[kambiz]

wow. I'm using the 3.5.X version right now. I'll switch to this asap!

[beduino]

Installed of course
But ... i understand show first post in every page ... ok.
However if you have examples to flipped postbit ... I appreciate.
Tks Atakan !

Very nice Atakan. I was wondering when someone would copy the vB.org release postbit.

Some suggestions:
Implement Usergroup Permissions so Administrators can restrict the ability to choose the Thread Type.

Set the Normal Postbit as default - it's a little annoying to have to select it each time you create a thread.

When you edit a thread, the Thread Type isn't set to the Thread's current Thread Type - you might want to fix this.

would you please give us some description for this MOD
I didn't get the idea even from the Screen Shoot

[maroceve]

Is there a way to have it use the basic postbit by default cause it uses the articles one and it's not very pretty on my forums and having to change the postbit thread by thread is kind of a boring task

[Kihon Kata]

what is this?

It shows the first post on every page (like ypu can see in vb.org) plus some features (e. 4 types for postbit).

Hope this helps for the postbit problems. I use legacy so this is what I did.

1. In the postbit_select template

Default

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="fieldset">
<tr>
<td>
$vbphrase[cp_ttype]:<br />
<select name="ttype" tabindex="1">
<option value="1">Postbit Article</option>
<option value="2">Postbit Flipped</option>
<option value="3">Postbit Normal</option>
<option value="4">Postbit Legacy</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Change to

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="fieldset">
<tr>
<td>
$vbphrase[cp_ttype]:<br />
<select name="ttype" tabindex="1">
<option value="1">Postbit Legacy</option>
<option value="2">Postbit Flipped</option>
<option value="3">Postbit Normal</option>
<option value="4">Postbit Article</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

2. In Chief Post - Postbit Display Complete Plugin

Default

if ($this->forum['chiefpost']==1 AND $post['postid']==$this->thread['firstpostid'])
{
switch ($this->thread['ttype'])
{
case 1: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_articles';
break;
case 2: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_flipped';
break;
case 3: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit';
break;
case 4: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_legacy';
break;
default:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_articles';
break;
}
}

Change to

if ($this->forum['chiefpost']==1 AND $post['postid']==$this->thread['firstpostid'])
{
switch ($this->thread['ttype'])
{
case 1: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_legacy';
break;
case 2: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_flipped';
break;
case 3: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit';
break;
case 4: 
$this->templatename = 'postbit_articles';
break;
default:
$this->templatename = 'postbit_legacy';
break;
}
}

And i added <if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6)"> at the begining In the postbit_select template and </if> at the end so only Admins can use this.
