Advanced New Thread Button in Showthread

[Shadow]

Description:
This hack adds a 'Post New Thread' button to the showthread script. Simply put, when a user is viewing a thread they are given the option to quickly jump to the New Post Editor and begin creating a new post. As well as this, it allows Administrators to control who has access to the feature and can be disabled for certain user-groups and individual users.

Installation Instructions:
To install simply import the attached adv_new_thread_button.xml file. Then you're done.

Changelog:
28/05/2012 - Version 1.20:
- Fixed the bug that prevented users from correctly excluding forums. (Thanks to borbole)
28/05/2012 - Version 1.10:
- Added the ability to exclude individual forums.
- Fixed variable names.
27/05/2012 - Version 1.00:
- Initial release.

Notes:
There is another version of this modification released by testbot however his version does not include the permissions like mine does. His thread can be viewed here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=258983).

I'm always looking to improve my work for the people that enjoy using it. If you have any suggestions on how I can improve this hack then please leave a comment and I'll see what I'm able to do. Don't forget to 'Mark As Installed' if you've got it installed!

Good job - installed and working fine :)
Suggestion for next version- option for excluding certain forums.

[Shadow]

Thank you. I'll get to work on that.

[cykelmyggen]

Thank you. I'll get to work on that.
Sounds great - I'll be looking forward to this :)

Modification updated to version 1.10

Adds the ability to exclude individual forums.

[cykelmyggen]

Thanks for a real fast update on this - 1.10 is working fine :)

[cykelmyggen]

Maybe I was a bit too fast - checked that the new thread button was not present in the forums excluded. Unfortunately, I noticed moments later, not in any other forums not on the excluded list?

[Shadow]

Ah, I noticed that too. My mistake, I'll fix it asap. For now, I recommend you leave the field blank or revert to Version 1.0.

Sorry about that.

EDIT: Version 1.20 is out and fixes the bug.

[cykelmyggen]

Working fine now - thanks for the fix :)

[Shadow]

Thanks for reporting that issue.

I was thinking about improving this a bit by adding new features of some sort related to the mod.

Anything you guys would like to see?

This needs to go somewehre like in the NAV BAR...with a dropdown of forum names they want to put their thread in..

The modification was mean't to be a slightly better version of this one (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=258983). But I will consider a more practical approach to what you have suggested.

Thanks

Your welcome sir and thank you for marking as installed.

[Pure Dope]

Well thats cool.

I think users should be able to create a thread in any forum from anywhere.

On thread creation they would simply select the forum where their thread should be from a dropdown. Then throw the new thread link in the nav bar...

Anyway, cool.

Thx.

[Shadow]

I'll give it a try definitely. Thanks for the suggestion buddy!

[zakonline]

Much needed mod for my forum :) thanks.

I'd also be interested in the general button on all pages, that when you click, gives you some form of drop-down to select a category.
