Front page links

[KuRi]

Basically a port of SaintDog's vb2 template mod located:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=83557&highlight=Front+Page+Links

Shows a 'Show new posts in forum', 'Create a new thread in forum' and a 'subscribe to forum' on the forumhome to the right of the forum titles

I am surprised this is in use still today... Been thinking of a way to implement a better tool system on one of my forums. Good to know that one of my modifications from the vB2 days are still alive and well.

It has served me well... ive used this on every one of my forums since 2.2.9 i think.... been a hell of a long time put it like that... just thaught id release it because i hadent seen anything like it for ages and i find it really usefull

[Wayne Luke]

Hey more power to you. Hopefully others find it useful. Just surprised to find minor edits that I introduced on SitePoint over four years ago still alive.

I like it. Installed.

Looks like a good hack to use. But I'm wondering if it works fine on 3.5 Gold?

...Yeah what about that tempate code? Do I've to replace it with the current code or what? Sorry to ask such a dump question. I just wanna make sure before things will get messed up. :p

[phonexpo]

Just paste my above code into the correct section. Easy ! ;)

[Snake]

Alrighty. Thanks for that.

This actually messed up everything for me.
So what I did was use the original hack's code, minus the if condition.
Seeing as how the if condition is already in the original template code I thought it would work.
It seems to have worked.
I have it on one of my templates Power Blue
www.3dfightclub.com/forum
Question:
When this thing "subscribes" it subscribes to all the threads within that board?

Here's the code I placed in the exact spot the author mentions. This is the author's code, minus the if condition:
<div style=float:right>
<a href="search.php?do=getnew&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/sm_search.gif" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Read New Posts in $forum[title]"></a>

<a href="newthread.php?do=newthread&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/sm_newthread.gif" border="0" width="11" height="11" hspace=2" alt="Create a New Thread in $forum[title]"></a>

<a href="subscription.php?do=addsubscription&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/sm_subscribe.gif" border="0" width="13" height="11" hspace="2" alt="Subscribe to $forum[title]"></a>
</div>

Many thanks:)
