- - End-User Options - Global "New Thread" Button in Navbar (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=184118)

How do I remove link from Navbar? Looks absolutely terrible on my theme,
www.irishrepublican.net

EDIT - Dont worry, using older version of hack.

It can be removed by goin' to:

ACP --> vBulletin Options --> vBulletin Options --> Global New Thread Button Options --> Show Large New Thread Button --> No

I just have mine in the sidebar, as a link "Post A New Question". See: http://www.techsupportteam.org/forum/

I don't see any reason it wouldn't work for 3.6.10. Can you give it a try and post back here to let us know how it went?

It links to the default location for newthread.gif. If you have an image somewhere else, just edit the gntb_newthreadbutton template, and change $stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif to the URL to your image. Also, be sure you enable both Show Large New Thread Button and Show Large Button as Image in the settings.

Any chance you could add a line break between each forum name ?

Sure, edit the gntb_forumbit template and add a <br /> right before the closing list tag </ul>.

Use the options (Global New Thread Button Options), where you can enable/disable both the navbar link and/or the navbar button (to the left of the breadcrumbs.) BTW, I look at your site, and I don't think it looks bad. :) But I guess it's subjective.

Thanks! Was a little unsure on which template to edit LOL.

I can't believe this! Out of the 1st 3 posts - 2 were complaints - THAT SUX!
Anyway - thanx to the modification author SOCKWATER for sharing - I'd actually installed a similar mod that had the dropdown - was for 3.6.x and apparently the author isn't interested in making it compatible with the 3.7 series - Anyway... Thanx so much for the sharing ;)

Jacquii.

Just a suggestion on possible button placement:

Find in navbar template:

Code:

<div class="navbar" style="font-size:21px;padding-left:6px;"><strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></div>

                </if>

        </td>

Add directly below:

Code:

<!-- Global "New Thread" Button -->

 <td class="alt1">

<div align="center"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/newthread.php" title="Post A New Thread"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif"></a></div></td>

       <!-- / Global "New Thread" Button -->

Puts the button right to the left of "Logged in as ...." info - Up close and personal :P
Thanx again for the modification SOCKWATER - I was certainly looking for something just like this ;)

Jacquii.

Not if you use AJAX... ;)

My original intention was to have the current "button" as an example, and you can edit the gntb_newthreadbutton template and make it look any way you want.

Bluidkiti PMed me with a suggestion and what they did on their board, which is to use the default vB New Thread image (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/08/32.gif). I have now included this as an option in the product. Just download and reinstall.

Awesome! Installed

I think that will be really great

thanks for taking that into consideration

really nice! thanks m8! :)
