[post_new_thread] conditionals to display different newthread.gif

[Tree Guardian]

Does any one know what and where to place conditionals in FORUMDISPLAY to have different newthread.gif showing for different forum ID's? and if it's possible.

Thank You

Should be possible. I imagine it would mean copying the button and using conditonals many times in the templates.

Look for this code (there are two instances of this in SHOWTHREAD):


<if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">
<a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" />
</a>
<else />
&nbsp;
</if>



And you'll need to replace with this:


<if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">
<a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/
<if condition="$forumid == X">newthreadX.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == Y">newthreadY.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == Z">newthreadZ.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == A">newthreadA.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == B">newthreadB.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == C">newthreadC.gif<else />
newthread.gif</if>
" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" />
</a>
<else />
&nbsp;
</if>


Where X Y Z etc are your forumid's. Your images should be in the button directory. The last one has an <else /> so that the regular button displays if you have not set one here. It's quite a hefty approach, and you would need to do this twice, but it works.

Hope this helps.

Some images are not displaying - little help? - please

my code looks like this:
<td class="smallfont"><if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">
<a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/
<if condition="$forumid == 10">newwish.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == 11">newwish.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == 12">newwish.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == 13">newwish.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == 21">newwish.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == 31">newwish.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == 17">newwish.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == 20">newwish.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == 27">newwish.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == 41">newwish.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == 42">newwish.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == 26">newstory.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == 32">newprayer.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == 35">newtopic.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == 30">newleaf.gif</if>
<if condition="$forumid == 38">newthankful.gif<else />
newthread.gif</if>
" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" />
</a>
<else />
&nbsp;
</if>

What is strange, that only .gif in forum ID 38 - works fine, rest don't show unless not listed in the code then the original newthread.gif is displaying.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
