Re: Post Content

[leefish]

This is something that has bugged me forever on MYBB postbits. I like having the header with the post content in the first post, but all that Re: bla bla in the subsequent posts is really annoying.

I help out another forum, and one of the most prolific posters can't spell for toffee - it would be easy to say use a spell check but she manages to use real words in the course of her misspelling.

Example: Her latest post was supposed to be Forum Manager - she puts Forum Manger. Now we have like ten posted replies all with Re: Forum Manger congratulating the new Manager.....gah. So not only do I have to edit the original "manger" post but all the posts in reply as well.

I was trying to use Xthreads to fix the postbit on all forums - without affecting the first post, as I want to keep the post content on the first post - to get rid of this post content. However, I did not want to force the postbit layout - some users like the horizontal, others the classic. Is this possible?

I'm sorry if I don't understand what you mean, Lee.

So, in the forum, there is a thread with Forum Manger title. And all replies to the thread are RE: Forum Manger. So, do you want to change all the title to Forum Manager with XThreads?

Hi RateU, no, I want to stop the Re: in the replies......... look at your post above mine, its says "Re: Re: PostContent" . Mine will do it too. I only want it to show the post content in the first post, but I dont want to force the postbit layout.

If you want to do it in template level, I think the easiest way is just replace the {$post['subject']} in postbit and postbit_classic template with {$thread['subject']}? Unfortunately, if the replier change the reply subject, the new reply subject will be "changed" to thread subject automatically.

[leefish]

I shall try that RateU. Of course, I guess that if the thread subject is spelled wrong then all the replies will be wrong too. I may just delete it out entirely.

Probably what I'd do.  With quick reply, no-one changes the title anyway, so it's pretty pointless... (unless you force full replies to get people to enter in titles).

The same question was asked over on MyBB a few days back but the solution did not help for me so how do we get rid of it in the Re-post-text altogether?

[leefish]

Thats easy to do. Go in the post bit and remove the div with post content in it (just above post message). Its going to get rid of ALL of them though, including first post.

Ok, but can you explain to me what line of code altogther to remove?
I really dont mind removing it in all the post cause it shows above the users name in the very first post.
