Multiple thread display like vBulletin.org

[paulyy]

I noticed that vBulletin.org uses different template types for thread display in the "hacks" forums.

For example going here; https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=63140

you get a "normal" display, but if you go here; https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=71481

you get a different first post display template. My forum would make great use of something like these, but more of a car showcase that a hack forum. I searched and one hack came close but the description didn't seem to fit what I want to do properly. How would I go about doing this? Is there a release for the hack vBulletin.org uses or was it internal?

This is a Xenon's modification. He don't release this hack yet !!

Wait ....

Man I hate to wait.... LOL

I really like what he has done, nice job
**waits for post**

[Xenon]

the general thing is just a template condition

<if condition="$threadinfo['forumid'] == hackforum">
$hackinfos
<else />
normal stuff here
</if>

I understand what you mean Xenon, but how would that change only the first post, and not all? I assume that's the part that hasn't been released yet ...

I think its on vbulltintemplates but it uses conditionals as Xenon mentioned. You could also make that forum use a specific style which would have that code in it.

Hmmm if someone should find it, would you please post the url here pls.

when will the merge start with vbtemplates into org?

[Xenon]

well, that an easy condition as well:

<if condition="$post['postid'] == $threadinfo['firstpostid']">
postbit for first post
<else />
normal postbit
</if>

[paulyy]

So;

<if condition="$threadinfo['6'] == Showroom">
   <if condition="$post['postid'] == $threadinfo['firstpostid']">
       postbit for first post
   </if>
<else />
normal postbit
</if>

Would that be correct?

But then there would be the question of getting 'new fields' to appear in the right places. Is there any chance you will release this hack?

not in the nearer future, i'm totally overworked with more important things currently..
