Show Thread Enhancements - highlight threadstarter posts!

hi there,

this is an easy way to highlight threadstarter post by editing ONE template.

In this mod, it will be below the user title, but if you want it somewhere else just let me know here NOT in pm please!

let's start:
1- go to postbit or postbit_legacy template

2- search for:

<span class="usertitle">
{vb:raw post.usertitle}
</span>

3- add below it:

<vb:if condition="$post['postcount'] == 1">
<vb:else />
<vb:if condition="$thread[postuserid] == $post[userid]">
<img src="images/misc/subscribed.png" alt="Thread Starter"/> <span style="color:red"><b><u>Thread Starter</u></b></span>
</vb:if></vb:if>

FAQ:
- What this mod will do?
it will show you who's the thread starter in the thread by add text "Thread Starter" and an icon next to it!

- Where it will be the "text and icon"?
it will be any where you want in the thread. for example if you want it to be below/above the signature, below the post, with the member info, below the member title... etc!

- Why this mod is very important for some forum?for example here in vb.org how could you know if the post from the thread starter? and you wanna follow his/her posts! better than scrolling up and down to see who's the thread starter!

- If i want to put it somewhere else can you help me?
YES ofcourse! just tell me where do you want it and i will be very happy to help after you clicked INSTALL.

- Does this mod will appear "thread starter" in the first post [which is the thread] ?
NO THIS WILL NOT APPEAR IN THE FIRST PORT #1 , IT WILL APPEAR IN THE POSTS AFTER THE THREAD ONLY

- Can i change the prefix of "Thread Starter" to something else?
YES you can just edit it to anything else of any language you want!

- Can i change the icon to another one?
YES you can just edit this code

<img src="images/misc/subscribed.png" alt="Thread Starter"/>

to the icon you want.

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO CLICK INSTALL.

that's it , enjoy it

I didn't use the image but it shouldn't matter, here's how I changed it to suit my needs.

<vb:if condition="$post['postcount'] == 1">
<vb:else />
<vb:if condition="$thread[postuserid] == $post[userid]">
<br /><b><small>Started this Thread</small></b></span>
</vb:if></vb:if>

do you want to display "Thread Starter" in the first post as well? if YES , use this code instead of the old one:

<vb:if condition="$thread[postuserid] == $post[userid]">
<img src="images/misc/subscribed.png" alt="Thread Starter"/> <span style="color:red"><b><u>Thread Starter</u></b></span>
</vb:if>

this will display "Thread Starter" in all his/her posts + the first post "which is the thread"

and PLEASE don't forget to click INSTALL.

<br /><b><small>Started this Thread</small></b></span>
</vb:if></vb:if>

if you doesn't want to use the image/icon use this code better:

<vb:if condition="$post['postcount'] == 1">
<vb:else />
<vb:if condition="$thread[postuserid] == $post[userid]">
<br /><b><small>Started this Thread</small></b>
</vb:if></vb:if>
