Automatically Post an Image When Thread Closed?

[cleaningh89ss]

Is there a way that I can get VB to automatically post and image when a thread is closed?

IE: Either have it auto post [the closed thread image] in a post after any mod or admin close the topic or have the mod or admin post [closed1] or something in the last post and then close it so the image shows?

You can create a simple bbcode to use.

Or you could edit the postbit template and add this in below where the message is inserted:

<vb:if condition="$show['closethread']"><img src="images/myimage.png" alt="Closed Thread"/></vb:if>

Except Michael, I think that would add the image to every single post. So, you'd want to add in "AND $post['islastshown']" into the condition.

Alternately, do something similar in the SHOWTHREAD template.

So what would the exact code be and what would be the best way to do this?

If you put it in the postbit, then you would use something like:

<vb:if condition="$show['closethread'] AND $post['islastshown']"><img src="images/myimage.png" alt="Closed Thread"/></vb:if>

Without an image showing exactly what you want, it's hard to just guess as this.
