Show Thread Enhancements - Thread Starter in Postbit for vB 4

Thread Starter in Postbit for vB 4
Version 1.0.3
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This will add a thread starter icon/text to the postbit. There are 4 locations to choose from (2 icon and 2 text). I know this had been done already, but I didn't like how it showed in the postbit. You do not have to have a signature for this to work. This product is just an upgrade to the manual template edit I have used in the past.

Note: This product was written using the postbit_legacy template and has not been tested on the postbit template, although it should work fine.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release for vBulletin 4.0.0
Version 1.0.1 --Fixed to work for vB 4.0.4
Version 1.0.2 --Added 2 new locations with highlighted text.
Version 1.0.3 --All 4 options are now linked to the first post of the thread. Also fixed a template cache error that was showing up for PMs.

Installation Overview:
-----------------------------------------------------
1 Product XML (2 Plugins, 1 template, 7 phrases and 1 setting)
1 image file

Installation Instructions:
-----------------------------------------------------
1. Upload thread_starter.gif to the forums/images/misc folder on your site.

2. Go to your Admin CP
Scroll down to 'Plugins & Products'
Click 'Manage Products'
Click 'Add/Import Product'
Click the 'Browse' button, and locate the product-boofo_threadstarter.xml file on your computer

3. Go to your Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> 'Thread Starter in Postbit' and set the following option:
--Show Thread Starter Icon/Text?: This will add the Thread Starter icon/text to your chosen location in the postbit.

--"No" will disable the Thread Starter icon/text from showing anywhere in the postbit. (Default)
--"Yes, Show icon under userinfo" will place the Thread Starter icon under the userinfo.
--"Yes, Show icon in message area" will place the Thread Starter icon at the top right of the message area.
--"Yes, Show text in button bar" will place the highlighted Thread Starter text in the button bar at the bottom of the post.
--"Yes, Show text in message area" will place the highlighted Thread Starter text at the top center of the message area.
-----------------------------------------------------

Done!
Enjoy!

Hi, I think this is the mod I'm looking for but I need to customize it a bit. Instead of counting all of the threads started by a user, I'm only interested in a certain Thread Prefix started by the user.

I have a prefix of "Trip Report", the Prefix ID is Trip_Report.

Is it possible to only show the "Trip Report" threads that have been started per user, and to make that a clickable link to those threads?

Thank you very much if you can help me on this.

Marked as installed and thanks!

If I wanted to change the alt and title information when hovering over the image to "Original Poster", how would I do that?

Would it also be possible to put in a new position directly under the poster's username?

You would need to change this in the boofo_ts_postbit template to whatever you want it to say:

alt="{vb:rawphrase thread_starter}"

There is no hook right under the username. Otherwise, I would have added a location for it there.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks.

There is no way to do what you are asking with this mod. This works only in the postbit, not the showthread.
