Post New Thread Button To Showthread
Above, Below / Closed, Open Thread
(Tested To Default vB Skin Style And FF/IE Browser Only!)

Again...What Is This?
This is a simple and more better way to add the same Post New Thread Button to showthread page...to a closed and open thread...above and below with you to decide the space and adjust...

PROCEDURES/INSTALLATION:
[Pls. Read Clearly Or If You Need Reading Glass (Wear It First) And Follow The Steps Below

NOW GO:

ACP > Styles & Templates > Search in Templates > Search in Style:Click Dropdown Arrow (Choose Actual Style)> Search for Text: SHOWTHREAD > Search Titles Only: YES > Click Find

NOW SELECT SHOWTHREAD TO OPEN!

======================================
1: ADDING POST NEW THREAD BUTTON ABOVE!
======================================

FIND THIS CODE:

<div id="above_postlist" class="above_postlist">
<vb:if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
<a href="newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}&noquote=1"
class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newreplylink_top"><vb:if condition="$show['closethread']">+ {vb:rawphrase reply_to_thread}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase closed_thread}</vb:if></a>

ADD BELOW:



<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&f={vb:raw thread.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top" style="margin-left:10px;">+ {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a>



==================================
NOTE: ADJUST THE RED ONE IF NEEDED!
==================================

======================================
2: ADDING POST NEW THREAD BUTTON BELOW!
======================================

NOW GO DOWN BELOW AND SEARCH/FIND THIS CODE:

<div id="below_postlist" class="below_postlist">
<vb:if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
<a href="newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}&noquote=1"
class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newreplylink_bottom">
<vb:if condition="$show['closethread']">+ {vb:rawphrase reply_to_thread}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase closed_thread}</vb:if></a>

ADD BELOW:



<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&f={vb:raw thread.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top" style="margin-left:160px;">+ {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a>



==================================
NOTE: ADJUST THE RED ONE IF NEEDED!
==================================

SPECIAL NOTE:
Now you will notice that something is not right... the Post New Thread or Reply To Thread Button is quite larger or bigger than the others (Because Of The Font Size!)
Now you want to have it all the same size...which is more better to see...right?

NOW GO TO EDIT THAT BUTTON:

ACP > Styles & Templates > Search in Templates > Search in Style:Click Dropdown Arrow (Choose Actual Style)> Search for Text: vbulletin-chrome.css > Search Titles Only: YES > Click Find

NOW GO SELECT vbulletin-chrome.css TO OPEN

Search in Template: .newcontent_textcontrol span { Click Find:

OR LOOK/FIND THIS CODE:

}
.newcontent_textcontrol span {
font-size:15px;
font-weight:bold;
display:inline;
}

CHANGE/ADJUST THE RED INTO: 10-12px

SAVE AND RELOAD FOR A TEST IF NOT OKAY ADJUST MORE:

UNTIL OKAY....SAVE AND ENJOY!

================================================== ======
NOTE: IF YOU INSTALLED THE MOD BELOW DONT SET THE BUTTON SETTINGS TO BE INVISIBLE (OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT SEE THIS)!

That's a bit rude Kall.
I find a 'new thread' button on showthread very handy as do my members; besides being convenient it has also cut down on thread hijacking/going off topic if that button is *right there* to click for the member to start a new thread because what they were reading inspires them/makes them think of something similar.

I don't use a LOT of the mods because their use doesn't pertain to the use of MY forum, but I don't post snide comments in the mod threads.

Nice of you to share, but what is the point of a newthread button in showthread?

Threads go in forums. That's why there's a newthread button there.

Why not put one in usercp.php and payments.php? Can we maybe get one in the archive? What about CMS and blogs?

Totaly disagree with you this is a useful modification and i would like to thank princeedward for releasing it :)

I have had members begging for this.

Its nice to give them something that works LOL

Yep my members make several posts at a time in certain forums so having the New thread button saves on a click for each new thread made.

Great little mod rated 5 and installed.

Just wanted to say thanks. I posted to the thread for the mod that is giving the conflict to see if that coder can fix his mod so none of the other buttons get effected.

Thanks for your help.

PS. Thanks to PrinceEdwards help, both mods are now working just fine. In the mod that was causing the conflict, it was a simple fix. I did not realize that the advance reply mod I use, has an option to hide the reply button. I set this to no, and now things work just fine.

Hi, princeedward .

It's a great mod. I test in 2 browser, firefox and opera.

But seems the "style="margin-left:160px"; 160px is excess, I change to 155px, and works fine in Opera Brower, but does not align in FireFox.

Another question, the Above Button and Below Button looks the same, why theirs margin-left is different?

---------------160px abnormal in Opera-------------
114367
---------------155px normal in Opera----------------
114368
---------------155pxabnormal in FireFox----------------

This issue is too strange, I'm not good at programming.
Have you tried to explored it with other coders or designer? I'll try to ask someone.
Hope it will be solved early. :)

Wrap it in a conditional.

<vb:if condition="$show['member']">
<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&f={vb:raw thread.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top" style="margin-left:160px;">+ {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a>
</vb:if>

Sorry old boy but I am not so tech savvy... I am sure it works but where do I add this code?
Do I replace existing code or add it underneath?

Very good job sir....
