Show topic starter

[Harro]

Link to Mod

This is a very small modification that will show who the topic starter was in all the post he made in a topic.
Look at the screenshot for an example.

Changelog
1.4
Package updated for SMF 1.1.4 and future versions.

1.3
Package updated for SMF 1.1.3

1.2
Fixed bug with multiple pages.

[NEMINI]

mod doesn't work properly past page 1 of a thread.  On the first page the first poster is properly identified as the topic starter.  However on subsequent pages the topic starter gets reassigned to the first person to post on the page, not the first poster of the thread.

[Harro]

Thanks for letting me know.
I'll try to fix it as fast as possible.

Hi Harro

I made this extension for a german support board, i used this in the Display.php for finding the topic starter , i hope it will help you.

Code Select Expand


// Hmmm i need this to know which one have startet the topic ;)
$context['ID_MEMBER_STARTED'] = $topicinfo['ID_MEMBER_STARTED'];


You must use this somewhere in the Display.php .

[Harro]

Thanks!
I'll take a look at it!

[edit]
Not even needed to put anything in Display.php
You can just use $context['topic_starter_id']

[Harro]

You'll have to install it manually for other themes.

This is a nice mod

BTW Is there a way to change the color.

Thanks

[PopsicleStickChick]

Is there a way to have this display under the personal text instead of between the personal text and the avatar?  Sometimes our personal text relates to the avatar.

[Harro]

For the color open Display.template.php in your Themes folder and look for this:

Code Select Expand

echo '<span style="color:red; font-weight:bold"> ', $txt['topic_starter'] , ' </span><br />';
Change the red to any other colour you like.


And to move it under the personal text search for

Code Select Expand

//show if it's the topic starter
if($context['topic_starter_id'] == $message['member']['id']){
echo '<span style="color:red; font-weight:bold"> ', $txt['topic_starter'] , ' </span><br />';
}

And put it after this:

Code Select Expand

// Show their personal text?
if (!empty($settings['show_blurb']) && $message['member']['blurb'] != '')
echo '
', $message['member']['blurb'], '<br />
<br />';

[Aileen]

Thanks you so much. I would like to move it under the stars (member rank) hope you can help me. and also change the font size. thanks.

[Ol' Wombat]

Perhaps more subtle coloured would be great instead of red (hear the rhyme?)

[Harro]

If you want to put it under the starts, just put it after this:

Code Select Expand

echo '
', $message['member']['group_stars'], '<br />';

And you can change to colour to any other colour you want

[Aileen]

can I put color in this format #000000?


this is really a great mod and useful too great job

[Harro]

Yupz, it's possible
any hexadecimal format will do the job.

[Aileen]

thanks so much

[falguni1]

very nice mod.

[Nutronic]

I have installed the camo theme and it does not have a Display.template.php so is there alternative process?

[Harro]

You have to install it manually on other themes then the default.
