What you see there is ads after the first post. You could add a reply template there also.

Open template/viewtopic_body.html
Find

Code: Select all

<!-- END postrow -->

Before add

Code: Select all

<!-- IF postrow.S_FIRST_ROW -->
<!-- INCLUDE first_response.html -->
<!-- ENDIF -->

Then you create a first_response.html template with your message in it. It will show after the first post.

Our codes are for ads after first post and is written like this.

Code: Select all

<!-- IF postrow.S_FIRST_ROW and not S_HIDE_ADS -->
<!-- INCLUDE viewtopic_ads1.html -->
<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- END postrow -->

We had a topic somewhere giving more details on this but I couldn't find it.

This is interesting. Would it be possible to have the auto reply grab the authors username form the first post?

Sure you can, as long as you are between the <!-- BEGIN postrow --> and <!-- END postrow --> tags.

Code: Select all

<!-- IF postrow.S_FIRST_ROW -->
Hello <!-- IF not postrow.U_POST_AUTHOR --><strong>{postrow.POST_AUTHOR_FULL}</strong><!-- ELSE -->{postrow.POST_AUTHOR_FULL}<!-- ENDIF -->, thanks for your post.
<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- END postrow -->

Put the Hello.... codes in your first_response.html template and build it to look like a post.
Example, we would show an added post with our Gonculator as the auto replier thanking the poster.

But Mike, we would need a different IF statement for that. This IF statement will show that after the first post of each page.
You would want this to show after the first post only on the first page.
Like: <!-- IF postrow.S_FIRST_ROW and postrow.S_FIRST_PAGE --> <- I have no idea what IF statement needs to be use.

@ altafali, IF I run across that topic on "Ads After First Post" I'll let you know.

"Before add" means that you add the code below after the code above.

There is also "after add," "in-line add," and "replace with."

That above would work, but there is another obstacle to get over for this to be right.

You would want this to show after the first post only on the first page.
Like: <!-- IF postrow.S_FIRST_ROW and postrow.S_FIRST_PAGE --> <- I have no idea what IF statement needs to be use.

And if you add this include statement inside the postrow it can have that first poster's name in your message.

I just played around with this and there is an IF statement we could use for this.

Code: Select all

<!-- IF postrow.S_FIRST_ROW and not PREVIOUS_PAGE --><!-- INCLUDE first_response.html --><!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- END postrow -->

This will add a reply post after the first post of a thread and not on any other page/after first post.

Would you want me to write up a first_response.html template of an example welcome/thanks post for this?
This is ready to be transformed into a mod.
