Is there a way to have a different layout for first post?

[Xarcell]

It's most likely because you have put the style tags outside of the function Xarcell. Looks like it's not possible to add to the $context['html_headers'] inside the template though. I would either move it to the index.template.php file, or add it to the Display.php source file. I'm betting that is the cause of the errors that you're having. Trying removing all the code before the function and see if that fixes your problems.

I'm trying to understand what your saying, but I don't. I tried googling, but that didn't help either. Your not talking about the css, right?

If your talking about the quick modify form tags, they were already outside the function.

Can you give me an example of what a style is?

[Xarcell]

Ok, I figured out why I could not quick modify post. It was the topic rating code I added to it.

What I done to add the topic rating was I took this code:

Code Select Expand


       echo '
<div class="cat_bar">
<h3 class="catbg">
<img src="', $message['icon_url'] . '" alt="" border="0" style="margin-top: 8px" />
<span id="author">( ', $context['num_views'], ' ) Times This Article Has Been Read - ';

// How about... even... remove it entirely?!
if ($message['can_remove'])
echo '
[ <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=deletemsg;topic=', $context['current_topic'], '.', $context['start'], ';msg=', $message['id'], ';', $context['session_var'], '=', $context['session_id'], '" onclick="return confirm(\'', $txt['remove_message'], '?\');">', $txt['remove'], '</a> ]</span>
</h3>

</div>';

and applied the topic rating and got this:

Code Select Expand

       echo '
<div class="cat_bar">
<h3 class="catbg">
<img src="', $message['icon_url'] . '" alt="" border="0" style="margin-top: 8px" />
<span id="author">( ', $context['num_views'], ' ) Times This Article Has Been Read - ';

// How about... even... remove it entirely?!
if ($message['can_remove'])
echo '
[ <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=deletemsg;topic=', $context['current_topic'], '.', $context['start'], ';msg=', $message['id'], ';', $context['session_var'], '=', $context['session_id'], '" onclick="return confirm(\'', $txt['remove_message'], '?\');">', $txt['remove'], '</a> ]', (!empty($modSettings['rateTopic_allow']) && !empty($context['rating_average'])) ?  ' - with ( '.$context['rating_number'].' ) votes &nbsp;<span class="inline-rating"><ul class="star-rating"><li class="current-rating" style="width: '.($context['rating_average'] / 5 * 100).'%"></li></ul></span>' : '' , '</span>';

//Topic Rating
if( !empty($modSettings['rateTopic_allow']) && !empty($context['rateTopic_board_enable']) && !$context['user']['is_guest'] ){
echo '
<form action="', $scripturl, '?action=rate" method="post" name="topicRating" accept-charset="', $context['character_set'], '">
<div class="smalltext" style="width:25%; float:right; text-align:right;">';
if ( $context['topic_starter_id'] == $context['user']['id'] )
echo '
<span class="inline-rating">'.
$txt['cant_rate_article'].
'</span>';

else {
if ( $context['user_can_rate'] == 1 && $context['topic_starter_id'] != $context['user']['id'] )
echo '
', (!empty($modSettings['rateTopic_allow']) && !empty($context['user_rating'])) ? $txt['rate_article_again'] : $txt['rate_article'], '
<span class="inline-rating" style="padding-bottom: 3px;">
<ul class="star-rating">
<li class="current-rating" id="current-rating" style="width: '.($context['user_rating'] / 5 * 100).'%"></li>
<li><a href="javascript:RateThatTopic(1)" class="one-star"></a></li>
<li><a href="javascript:RateThatTopic(2)" class="two-stars"></a></li>
<li><a href="javascript:RateThatTopic(3)" class="three-stars"></a></li>
<li><a href="javascript:RateThatTopic(4)" class="four-stars"></a></li>
<li><a href="javascript:RateThatTopic(5)" class="five-stars"></a></li>
</ul>
</span>';

else
echo '
<span class="inline-rating">'.
$txt['rateTopic_please_wait'].
'</span>';
}

echo '
<input type="hidden" name="topic" value="', $context['current_topic'], '" />
<input type="hidden" name="board" value="', $context['current_board'], '" />
<input type="hidden" name="rate" id="rate" value="" />
</div>
<script>
function RateThatTopic(value){
document.getElementById("rate").value = value;
document.topicRating.submit();
}
</script>
</form>';
}
echo '</span>
</h3>

</div>';

I have no idea if that was correct. Originally(in default template) it was supposed to be this:

Find:

Code Select Expand

<span id="top_subject">', $txt['topic'], ': ', $context['subject'], ' &nbsp;(', $txt['read'], ' ', $context['num_views'], ' ', $txt['times'], ')</span>

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

<span id="top_subject">', $txt['topic'], ': ', $context['subject'], ' &nbsp;(', $txt['read'], ' ', $context['num_views'], ' ', $txt['times'], '', (!empty($modSettings['rateTopic_allow']) && !empty($context['rating_average'])) ?  ' - '.$context['rating_number'].' votes)&nbsp;<span class="inline-rating"><ul class="star-rating"><li class="current-rating" style="width: '.($context['rating_average'] / 5 * 100).'%"></li></ul></span>' : ')' , '</span>';
//Topic Rating
if( !empty($modSettings['rateTopic_allow']) && !empty($context['rateTopic_board_enable']) && !$context['user']['is_guest'] ){
echo '
<form action="', $scripturl, '?action=rate" method="post" name="topicRating" accept-charset="', $context['character_set'], '">
<div class="smalltext" style=";width:25%;float:right;text-align:right;">';
if ( $context['topic_starter_id'] == $context['user']['id'] )
echo '
<span class="inline-rating">'.
$txt['rateTopic_topic_author_cant_rate'].
'</span>';
else {
if ( $context['user_can_rate'] == 1 && $context['topic_starter_id'] != $context['user']['id'] )
echo '
', (!empty($modSettings['rateTopic_allow']) && !empty($context['user_rating'])) ? $txt['rateTopic_Again'] : $txt['rateTopic_New'], '
<span class="inline-rating">
<ul class="star-rating">
<li class="current-rating" id="current-rating" style="width: '.($context['user_rating'] / 5 * 100).'%"></li>
<li><a href="javascript:RateThatTopic(1)" class="one-star"></a></li>
<li><a href="javascript:RateThatTopic(2)" class="two-stars"></a></li>
<li><a href="javascript:RateThatTopic(3)" class="three-stars"></a></li>
<li><a href="javascript:RateThatTopic(4)" class="four-stars"></a></li>
<li><a href="javascript:RateThatTopic(5)" class="five-stars"></a></li>
</ul>
</span>';
else
echo '
<span class="inline-rating">'.
$txt['rateTopic_please_wait'].
'</span>';
}
echo '
<input type="hidden" name="topic" value="', $context['current_topic'], '" />
<input type="hidden" name="board" value="', $context['current_board'], '" />
<input type="hidden" name="rate" id="rate" value="" />
</div>
<script>
function RateThatTopic(value){
document.getElementById("rate").value = value;
document.topicRating.submit();
}
</script>
</form>';
}
echo '

I reckon I screwed it up trying to modify it to fit my custom display.template code. Any ideas where it went wrong?

It's most likely because you have put the style tags outside of the function Xarcell. Looks like it's not possible to add to the $context['html_headers'] inside the template though.

I'm talking about the code you have inserted at the very top of the file. Sorry I didn't explain better. You've put code outside the template functions, I'm not sure what that will do, just figured it could cause problems.

I don't know anything about that mod, but if you're having problems with it I'll have to take a moment to install the mod and see how it works and where it puts things.

[Xarcell]

The code outside the template function shouldn't cause any problems, especially the css. While it's not proper, browsers will still read it.

I have installed it and looked at the code and how it works. Submit wil not work. Niether will the pol if I move it below the article, but above comments. If you haven't looked at it, you can see it in action HERE. be warned though, I make changes live, so it may be working one sec, and down another. Just wait a minute or so and it'll be back up.

Thanks for your help.

I don't see much of anything right now, I would like to see your idea at work. I have thought about doing what your doing in the past but I haven't thought of a appropriate layout.

[KensonPlays]

for me, i want the first post user's profile info to be on the top, rest on left side. how to do this?

The code has been worked out so forth. The basic concept is there for you to miss around with, just takes a little of CSS and HTML. I am more than sure you can handle it.

[Xarcell]

I just noticed that nothing is showing for guests. Give me time to track down why...

[Xarcell]

Oh man, I think it's because of this:       if ($context['topic_first_message'] == $message['id'])      to make first post different from replies. When I revert back to the original code it shows up. Any idea on how to fix this?

Here is a test account you can use to sign and see it. Right now it doesn't want to show for guest and I'm unsure as to why.

any news on this..?

[Xarcell]

any news on this..?

Every works nicely, but I was unable to get anything to show up for guests.

[IchBin™]

It must be something else conflicting or something. I have put the change in my Display.template file. Whether I'm logged in as a guest or a user I see the same thing.

Weird, I tried every I knew to try, and guests could not see. I have hired someone to take a look at it, but I haven't heard back from them.

[nend]

Still nothing? Well if it doesn't work out just give me a PM and I can take a look for you. However I will not be available to look at it until Thursday. Sorry, just lack of time due to work.

For those wanting to know, this is what's being used so far:

Code Select Expand


      if ($context['topic_first_message'] == $message['id']) {

       echo 'template code';
}
       else {

       echo 'template code';
}

thanks for this.. i needed for something i was working on

what issues are they?

[live627]

The code won't execute as intended. $message['id'] isn't a boolean.
