Is there a way of making something (say an image) show up only if the user is in the posting page of a thread? For instance,

if (in post.template) echo ' so-and-so '; else echo ' nothing ';

[All Colours Sam]

you can directly put it on post.template.php   or /Post.php and use $context['something']  to print that on your template file

I know this trick, but it's for a tinyportal pod, so could it be done another way?

 check for action=post 

if($_REQUEST['action'] == 'post')
   echo 'something';

Using $context['current_action'] is better.

Example please...

check for action=post 

if($_REQUEST['action'] == 'post')
   echo 'something'; 

Thanks, I will try that!

You showed me 'post', but what if I wanted the image to show in topic view only (i.e. when you're viewing a thread, and nothing else).

[All Colours Sam]

you said "only in the posting area"...

check if $_REQUEST['topic']  is set  with  isset();

I don't understand what you mean... I would like something tos how only if it's in topic view

Exactly...it's the same thing Masterd.

Yeah, I know, but in some cases it's easier to use it.

if (isset($_REQUEST['topic']))
   // my code to show only if a user is viewing a topic
