How to display something like an image in the first post of a thread.

I was searching in showthread.php template and found {$first_post}. But where is the actual file linked to {$first_post} so that i can edit it.

MyBB system's showthread template by default doesn't has {$first_post} variable.
you may use XThreads plugin to use required code in the first post

this seems to be working....

you need PHP in Templates plugin for this to work....

add a conditional like below after the {$post['message']} in the postbit template....

{$post['message']}
</div>
<if $post_number == 1 then>
<br />
//Content to be displayed
</if>

just a note:
php in templates plugin should be used only if one has to add php code into templates
template conditionals plugin is preferred for using the conditions

Any admins with templates edit access will be able to execute PHP in your forum. Generally, I also recommend Template Conditionals for such simple tasks.

Also, you should rather check $postcounter since it's a plain integer and $post_number is the formatted version of it: https://github.com/mybb/mybb/blob/featur...t.php#L637

Please help. What is the syntax to check forum id. That is i want to display something in threadlist but not of all forums. Like i want to use conditional tag so that it will display in a particular forum.

Thanks in advance
