Topic Author

I would like to know how to do this. I wanna put a text for the "Topic Author" on members post to show only for topic starter on the right side.

Bump!

so this is for only the top topic starter not for the top poster  ... do you have a widget or somthing that shows the top topic starter it would make it easier to grab the info

Yes only for the topic starter... without "top topic starter" thing would be possible?

sorry i would have had this sooner but i miss read and thought u wanted to display something next to the top list of topic starters not just to ever topic starter in each post

u can style it with

Code:

#tauthor{}

js
placement: in the topics

Code:

$(function(){
  ttextuwant = "Topic Starter";
  if($('.pagination:last strong:first').text()==="1"){
    $('.post').eq(0).find('.inner').prepend(' <span id="tauthor">'+ ttextuwant +'<span> ');
  };
 
});

On every post please that the topic starter has replayed and not only in the first post.

think im have use cookies for that to save the the author name untill it goes out of that topic.. idk ill try to think of something for you

Hi,

If I understand you correctly, you want to put a title on the post of topic starters ?

See if this works :

First make sure the first post is on multiple pages.
Administration Panel > General > Messages and e-mails > Configuration

Always show the first post in the topics : Yes


Next go to Modules > JavaScript codes management > Create a new script

Title : Your choice
Placement : In the topics
Paste the code below and submit :

Code:

$(function() {
  $('.post').each(function() { if ($(this).find('.postprofile dt').text() == $('.post:first .postprofile dt').text()) $(this).addClass('authorPost').append('<div class="authorTag">Topic Starter</div>') });
});

Then use these rules to style the post :
Display > Colors > CSS stylesheet

Code:

.post.authorPost { position:relative }
.post.authorPost .authorTag {
  color:#666;
  font-size:12px;
  background:#EEE;
  border:1px solid #CCC;
  border-bottom:none;
  border-radius:3px 3px 0 0;
  padding:3px;
  position:absolute;
  top:50%;
  right:-33px;
  transform:rotate(270deg);
}

.authorPost is applied to the whole post, so you could put a background if you want.
.authorTag is only for the tag that says "Topic starter"

It should give the following result for the topic starter.

Thank you @_Twisted_Mods_, @Ange Tuteur this is solved now.

You're welcome ^^
