New Thread Button Issue

[Blackbeard02]

I have tried 2 different mods to add a new thread and I get this message with both mods, can someone tell me how to fix this issue ?

Here are the 2 mods I have tried

and

Instructions:
1- go to your "SHOWTHREAD" template
2- look for the the following code: TWICE

<td class="smallfont"><a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$FIRSTPOSTID" rel="nofollow"><if condition="$show['closethread']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /><else /><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadclosed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[closed_thread]" border="0" /></if></a></td>

Replace with

<td class="smallfont"><a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" border="0" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" /></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$FIRSTPOSTID"><if condition="$show['closethread']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /><else /><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadclosed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[closed_thread]" border="0" ></if></a></td>

What is in the page source where that code is in the showthread page?

[Blackbeard02]

I'm not sure what your asking me so here is my Showthread template

[Lynne]

I'm talking about the page source.... the stuff that is sent to your browser that it then uses to make your page. Usually you to View > Page Source in the browser.

Also, you should not be using $foruminfo[forumid] in the SHOWTHREAD template, it should be $threadinfo[forumid]. Replace that and see if it works. And post int he thread you got that in and correct it.

Thank you Lynne that did the trick for the second mod, which is the one I prefer because it puts the new thread button next to the reply button. The first one still gets the error but I am in buisness now :)
