Thread Author Sign On Postbit

[RateU]

Requirement: Template Conditionals or PHP in Templates / Complex Templates

Will add an additional image for the Thread Author on postbit/classic.
As an example, we put the code after {$post['onlinestatus']}:

Code:

<if $GLOBALS['thread']['uid'] && $GLOBALS['thread']['uid'] == $post['uid'] && $GLOBALS['thread']['firstpost'] != $post['pid'] then><img src="images/icons/pencil.gif" alt="{$lang->author}" title="{$lang->author}" /></if>

---

   

With the same method, we can use different layout (background, css class or etc) for it.

I already have this conditional, but as I´m a expert I´m going to asume your is better, compare, and I think I will use this, thanks.

I'm still learning too, Sama34

I use this code:

PHP Code:

<if $thread['uid'] == $post['uid'] then> <img src="images/icons/pencil.gif" alt="{$lang->author}" title="{$lang->author}" /> </if>

---

It will add a image to all author posts regardless of it being the first post or not. I think yours is better, as it makes not that much sense to include the image in the fisrt post.

But I still do not undestand what the difference between:

PHP Code:

$GLOBALS['thread']['uid']

---

PHP Code:

$thread['uid']

---

They'll be the same if $thread is global'd (I think it always is for a standard postbit).  If not, $thread will be invalid.
Using $GLOBALS will always work if you're unsure.

Note that RateU's conditional also excludes guests.
