This product is the result of a request from hugoroger to:

Say I wanted to add a custom blurb as an admin on the bottom of a specific thread to show on all thread pages for that specific topic only. How hard would that be? As in, I would just want to give some attribution for material discussed in the topic. I could add it to the posts, but was wondering if I could edit the footer of the specific page in question.

Overview:

This product allows you to define blurbs (a block of information) on a per thread basis. BBCodes are allowed in the text, and support is added for my BBCodes that require extra processing, which include:

You can select whether you want the blurbs to appear above the threads/posts or below the threads/posts. The blurbs appear in a collapsible element.



Updates:

Version 1.1:
  • Added setting to define thread blurbs on a per forum basis.
  • Added support for multiple forumids/threadids per blurb.

Version 1.2:
  • Updated to allow for display of Forum Blurbs on Forum Display.

Version 1.3:
  • Updated to allow for excluding usergroups from seeing blurbs, on a blurb by blurb basis.
  • Stacked block titles separated by " - " string, and stacked blurb content separated by horizontal rule.

Version 1.4:
  • Added setting to allow choosing between HTML and BBCodes blurb content type.

Compatibility:

Tested and working on VB 4.2.x and may work on all 4.x versions of vBulletin.
