This template modification will allow you to display a different posbit based on a prefix. So, for example, if you have a 'news' thread, you could display the first post in a news layout.

Included below is the modified postbit that I use on my forum for an example. The original template comes from the Article Forums mod (Article Forums) I've taken out a couple icons at the top and removed the attachment thumbnail box for images. I've added Facebook, Tweetmeme, and Digg buttons to the upper right.

Here is a live example of the this mod in action: http://cellphoneforums.net/att/t306319-t-getting-raw-end-deal-commercials.html (example also has helpful posts, tweet poster, and vbseo installed)

To install:
  • Open your postbit template
  • Copy the existing template into an editor
  • Copy the below into an editor
  • Replace 'YOUR ORIGINAL POSTBIT HERE' with your postbit
  • Replace 'news' (in the first line) with the ID of the prefix you would like this template to display with. You can find this by going to 'Thread Prefixes > Prefix manager > click on the prefix you want' It'll be at the top.
  • Copy everything into your postbit template and save

This will only work on 3.x
