New Thread Button on post viewing

I find that members post more when there is a post new thread option after they have posted / when there reading thread so i have done the following with a little bit of help from Lynne (thanks)

Go to the Showthread template :

First find :

HTML Code:

<a href="newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}" 

class="textcontrol" id="newreplylink_top"><vb:if condition="$show['closethread']"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase reply_to_thread}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase closed_thread}</vb:if></a>

                        <img style="display:none" id="progress_newreplylink_top" src="images/misc/progress.gif"  alt="" />

then after add :

HTML Code:

<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw thread.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a>

then find :

HTML Code:

<a href="newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}" 

                        class="textcontrol" id="newreplylink_bottom"

                        ><vb:if condition="$show['closethread']"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase reply_to_thread}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase closed_thread}</vb:if></a>

Then after add :

HTML Code:

&nbsp <span style="padding-left:140px">

<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw thread.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_bottom"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a></span>

UPDATE

Make the new thread button bigger as requested :)

Go to > Showthread.css

At the very bottom add >

HTML Code:

#newthreadlink_top, #newthreadlink_bottom {

        background: {vb:stylevar control_content_background};

        -moz-border-radius: {vb:stylevar control_content_radius};

        -webkit-border-radius: {vb:stylevar control_content_radius};

        -moz-box-shadow: 0 3px 8px #e1e1e1;

        -webkit-box-shadow: 0 3px 8px #e1e1e1;

        font: {vb:stylevar control_content_font};

        color: {vb:stylevar control_content_color};

        padding: {vb:stylevar control_content_padding};

        display:inline-block;

        clear:both;

}

#newthreadlink_top span, #newthreadlink_bottom span {

        font-size:15px;

        font-weight:bold;

        display:inline;

}

#newthreadlink_top:hover, #newthreadlink_bottom:hover {

        background: {vb:stylevar control_content_hover_background};

}

Screen shot attached (new one coming :))

Thanks will give it a try :)

The second code is not XHTML valid. There´s an open span tag that is not closed.

sorry bit confused by your reply i only put that in to move it away from new reply and as far as i knew that was correct coding if you can improve it please let me know and i will change it

Yes it shows a small button at the moment im trying to find the correct way to make it show a big button but should just be a simple edit to change size

This is so very wonderful! One of the things I was looking for. Thank you!

I now have VB4 Beta 4 and just added this and it works great! :)

Thanks that works fine :up: one thing though is slightly out of alignment with the 'Reply to Thread' button, is there a way to fix that ?

I will look at that now it can only be either coding or the .css i added

Thanks very much, it looks like this at the moment

At the moment only way i can get them in a sort of inline mode is one above the other what in my eyes dont look as nice

perhaps there is a way for the 'reply to thread' icon to be inline with what you have done?

I am happy with it in truth as is, people put so much effort into hacks that sometimes I feel that we are asking to much, so thanks for your efforts :)

i will not give up im just trying to finish a bsic thanks mod untill the real one is rereleashed and i have a shoutbox in the works but dont you worry we will sort something

i have a semi thanks button now working just needs a few final touches only issue is cant stop people from thanking there selfs :( and its all new coding not a modded mod

Hi cabledr, I sent you a pm.

Maybe change size in the the CSS file?

Can you post up this way, as its a lot more out of line now that 4.0 gold has come out.

Thanks for sharing this :up:

I can get the top section to line up by doing this:

In SHOWTHREAD template:

After:

Code:

{vb:rawphrase reply_to_thread}

Add:

Code:

<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw thread.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a>

I can't get the bottom one to work right yet. I also would like to put a space between the 2 buttons but putting

Code:

 

between them doesn't seem to work.

A quick fix to get around that would be to make a small transparent image upload it to say images/misc and use <img src="images/misc/transparent_spacer.png> between the 2 buttons.

Did you get the bottom one so it is inline also? If so, how did you do this?

This mod conflict with Facebook button (I Like).
Can you update? :)

If you select a post to quote, does the quote transfer to the new thread as well?

Greetingz

I can't find the code in vb 4.0.6 under SHOWTHREAD... any clue ?

Sorry been away for a bit snowed under with work i plan to get this all working with 4.7 this week

i have tested the above code on 4.7 and it still works but the button still isnt quiet inline so will be working on that ref facebook if you go in the coding you will see the face book bit you just need to move it over with some spaces im guessing can we have a screen shot ??

Also what part in showthread cant you find ?

I would use this only if there was a xml file for it... having to re add this to 6 skins with every update is proving to be a real pain
