Best Idea Ever - New Thread Button Under Index Count User Permission Based

[DieselMinded]

I want to ad a small Img file to my forum index called Add New , I want it to show under the Thread Counts for each forum and have the user be able to click the button and go directly to starting a thread in that forum , Button should only appear on the forums they are permitted to start a new thread in

- Img will go under the thread counts for each forum
- Img will be linked to start a new thread in that forum (Same Frame)
- Img must be permission based and only show to users who can start threads in that forum

I am afraid this will only increase the number of duplicate threads. People will not even look in a forum and see the existing threads.

I am afraid this will only increase the number of duplicate threads. People will not even look in a forum and see the existing threads.

I don't think so, this would make it easier for a member to start a new thread without needing to drill down to the forum to click the "new thread" button inside of the forum.

I don't have the time to do this myself at this time but I do see a legitimate value in this suggestion/idea. Creating the link is easy, getting the permissions for each forum to drive if the button is shown could be a little tricky.

I like the idea

Thanks ! , There is a - User Can Start New Threads , Thing in each forums permissions

My Site Details you must be staff to start a new thread but anyone can reply so the code is there , just need to piggy back on it

I wish i could code , i bought books and everything for vbulletin and still i have to rely on the coders here , mainly Mike Biddle and Adam from AWCoding Both have done custom exclusive work for me ..., its getting expensive so i hope a coder will pick this challenge up for the community to benefit from and ill make a donation

Not much coding needed, think it could be done (without permission checks) with only a template edit.

[DieselMinded]

If i have to resort to that i will , But i would rather them be permission based not much use for them to show to guests unless the link changed to the register page if a guest clicks it https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/11/11.gif

This is not pretty but it will get you started, there are two templates you need to edit:

forumhome_forumbit_level1_post
forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

In each you need to:

FIND:


<td class="alt1">$forum[threadcount]</td>


REPLACE WITH:



<td class="alt1">$forum[threadcount]<if condition="$show['member']"><br /><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/newthread.php?$session[sessionurl_q]do=newthread&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="$vboptions[bburl]/images/addnew.png" alt="vbphrase[post_new_thread]" /></a></if></td>


You can see it here:

user: testuser1
password: test2_paswrord

No permissions checks but it works fine :p

I do think you would want to have permissions around this so that obviously would need to be done outside of the template.

I will leave this on my site for a couple days and then expect it to be removed.
