Man, this is the best mod I've seen in a long time. Really helps the useability of my forum.

I've had a little blurb about "posting a new thread" in my sidebar that was previously linked to a FAQ that explained to newbies how to post a thread. They would click on it and not understand how to post a thread because they would skip over the text in the faq.

Just installed this and linked that same text to newthread.php and it's perfect!

Love it, thank you!

I would be interested in this option also, my newthread.php does not appear to be following permissions, but even lists my otherwise hidden Mods-Only Forums and closed forums, etc.

Other than that, perfect, and I've nominated for MOTM! Thanks again!

It works fine for me. Try logging in as a regular user and viewing newthread.php. If you're logged in as an admin, you'll be able to see the moderator only forums.

Nice
*intalled*

OK, I take it back, the Mods Only forums are not showing now, but it does list all the archives and forums where posting is not allowed, and when you select a closed forum, no error is given, then the page just hangs when a post is submitted.
I just wish I could create a list of specific forums to show there, and exclude others, is all.... thanks again.

I'll look into this.

How about if I add a way to simply exclude specific forums from being shown?

Great Mod, installed.

I think only logged in users should see this button, currently it shows for everyone, or did I miss something?

very nice n helpfull.but its showing the hidden forums in the list as well.any idea how to hide them,thnx

This is by design. The visible button convinces an unregistered user that it's easy to ask a question, so he/she decides to ask a question and clicks the button and then gets the login/registration page where they register for your forums. I think that's what we all want.

It works fine for me. I can see my hidden forums when I'm logged in as an admin, and if I log out or log in as a user from another usergroup, I see the appropriate forums for their usergroup.

Installed. I modified the XML to change the URL for newthread.php since I am using VbA CMPS, but it works great.

Beautiful!

Thank you, installed and nominated :up:

I am having an issue where logged in users are allowed to see forums where they do not have access to post new threads. How do we fix that?

When I select to have it display on the right it stays on the left????

I tried it with a double navi bar and it doesn't work well, widens the bar too much, takes the member to the archives ... I think to complicated for my members. but good idea for others

sockwater, as you know, I love this add-on. Would it be difficult to update it so it only showed forums where you can post a new thread? It's a little confusing a if a user clicks the 'Announcements' forum and get's a permission error. You know how wretchedly inaccurate those can be in vB.

Hi,

Very nice mod. Thanks for offering it.

Allow me to point out a possible typo, if it hasn't already been mentioned.

In Global New Thread Button Options, the description provided (in version 1.1) for the Show Large New Thread Button setting is as follows:

<< Show a large New Thread button to the left of the breadcrumbs in the navbar. You may change how this button looks by editing the gntb_navbarbutton template. This will attempt to insert the HTML into your navbar. If it fails, try the navbar link above or manually insert a link to newthread.php in your navbar. >>

There doesn't appear to actually be a template called "gntb_navbarbutton," unless I'm missing something. (Maybe I am.) Is it possible that the correct template is "gntb_newthreadbutton"?

Thanks.

When I click for the new thread button image that comes with the board to show it does not. Help please?

Installed and works perfect on vb3.8x!

Yet another Mod that should be standard!

THANKS!

Can we PLEAAAASSE get this for 4.0???

I have custom work I need done to this mod:

REQUEST 1: Columns
I have one category that has forums named A-Z. So that is 26 forums right there! So instead of a long one column list, can we get an option to select categories to be listed in columns instead. We would need to be able to pick the number of columns so that if the forum name was longer, a two column layout would be perfect. If the forum name was shorter more columns could be set without breaking theme.

REQUEST 2: Drop Menu Forum Selection
I have other forums in another category with longer names. I really need these forums to be listed in a drop menu instead of one long list on the page. As more forums are added the longer this page is growing and too much scrolling has to happen. With a drop menu selection box that is wide enough all other forums could be included in the drop menu instead. This would allow our entire site to be on one short page without the need to scroll down on a ever growing long page.

Conclusion: (Three Display Options Per Category)
So under each category we should be able to decide if we want one of three forum listing options:

1. Columns: multiple column listing (can select number of columns)
2. Drop Menu Selection: drop menu listing of forums
3. Default: simple list that is default

Are you willing to make these changes for a fee for a 3.8x site? Are you able to handle this coding yourself or do I need to look for a third party coder?

Any chance there will be a vB4 version of this? I've tried to modify it to work with vB4 to no avail.

same here

please update to 4.1.x. thanks!

this should be a standard feature, has it been requested on .com?

Need this for vb4 :(
