Show Thread Enhancements - Highlight Threadstarter (in his Posts/Replies)

A big update of the old version for vB 3.6: Mark Threadauthor (in his other posts)

Description:

Secondary this mod still has many other options, so that you should be able to customize this mod like you wish.

Display Locations:
~> Highlight your Threadstarter under the usertitle

I Found a Small Bug in the Plugin "Threadstarter - Main" of this Mod "Highlight Threadstarter".

In the Plugin there is a Code

!is_member_of($this->post, $thrdauth_excl_groups)

that should be

!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $thrdauth_excl_groups)

for it to Work Properly.

The $this->post should be $vbulletin->userinfo on this Code Line.

Thank You For Sharing this Great Mod, Works Fine on vB373 PL1. :up:

Note: The Threadstarter Text appears on other Posts different than the First One on a Thread.

My Best Regards.

Please update for vB4.x:

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: threadauthor in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3957
