Code to show thread creator?

[MarketProfits]

Hi guys!

What is the code to show the creator of a thread?

I want the thread creator to be able to display their special user id that they will input in the profile fields.

I know I have to create a new profiel field for this and I can do that.

But I just need assistance with the code to determine who starts a thread.

I'm guessing it goes in the postbit, but need help with it.

This is what I have so far.

<if (!isset($FIRSTPOSTID))


then rotate a set of links here that I will program.
The image will be something that i designate.

</if>

Well those <if> tags are for the postbit yes, but you might want to make a plugin with the hook location "postbit_display_start"

the template if would be this i believe:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

What exactly are you trying to do though?

I want the thread creator of any forum, to have their affiliate id for a specific affiliate program to be displayed on the top right corner of the postbit next to the yahoo, msn, and skype icons.

I figured I had to use the thread creator code to narrow it down so that their affiliate id is displayed with an affiliate link in every thread a member creates.
Of course, they will have to sign up with the affiliate program in order to collect commissions and receive checks.

Sot of like revenue sharing, but using clickbank.com instead of Google Adsense.

Does this explanation help you?

Not really but try

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

Hopefully something like that.

Change fieldX to field5 or w/e field it is

This should definitely work. Thanks.

This is what the finished product will look like and hopefully function..

Oh, I haven't installed it yet.
I've been cutting my hair and coming to the forums when for periodic updates.....lol..

I'll test it out and then let you guys know...

BTW,
Southern Cali is too hot for long rock star hair, so I had to fade it up and leave it at about 3 inches in length.

Anyways,
will update on the mod.

Thanks for the help.

After cutting my hair, I did manage to get the code to work, but not in its entirety.

The part of the code that does not work is the part is the link rotator part.

Is there another way to write a code to rotate links?

Everything else from the code works fine.

Thanks a bunch.

You can use some php code located in postbit_display_start (which is better than JS as it will work when JS is disabled on the user's end):

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

Then just put $banner, wrapped in the conditional, in the postbit(_legacy) template & enjoy .
