Hello world,
I want to use different postbit styles for some forums. I have tried to use that by changing(adding some if statements) postbit template but i didn't work. So which template i should edit or do you have any idea,logic how can i do that?
Thank you in advance.
If you have a look at
xThreads
When your in forum management you can set a prefix for that forum's template.
For example if you set one as forum1_ then in global templates you add forum1_postbit and make it different from the normal post bit you get the forum that's assigned the forum1_ prefix will have a different post bit.
In Simple:
- Edit a forum and enter a "Template Prefix". For example "forum1_"
- Create a new template in global templates called forum1_postbit (or use your prefix).
Or you can set the postbit style per forum in the Settings Overrides. No templates needed.

Thanks that was what i was looking for thanks and can i do this one like that for special forums;
<if $postcounter == 1 and $thread['fid'] == 2 then>
Special postbit
<else>
Normal postbit
</if>
you can try below code with
template conditionals plugin installed. A to F are forum IDs of your special 6 forums.
<if in_array($thread['fid'], array('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F')) and $postcounter == 1 then>
special postbit
<else>
normal postbit
</if>
