Tested with vb4 Gold and 4.0.1.
As an Alternative I attached the instructions for the Template edits.
Im trying to make the Template edits automatic so any help is greatly appreciated!:D

Sounds good :D but would love to have it just with one product / upload files ( no template edits ) :P
but thanks a lot for this.. :)

Thanks,

Im already working on the auto template edits

A nice little mod this. I can't get it working on 4.0.3 though, I can enter the redirect URL fine but it just doesn't affect the New Thread button. Any chance of an update?

I will have to test that. Im pretty busy at the moment, so please excuse the delay.

This looks like an older mod but I just wanted to say that this fit my needs perfectly and worked well on 4.0.7.

I can't find the 3rd set of code to replace in 4.1.1 :confused:Any idea's please.

I was unable to find the 3rd code bit replacement. But insofar it seems to be working without it...

I have the same problem!

As said before could not find last code to change but all seems to work without it :up:

please do a 4.1.12 version :D

A 4.2 version would be really helpful.

Okay, so I played with this and was able to get it to work with 4.2.0.

Here is what I did...

1. Goto admincp -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product]
2. Browse for this product and import product-new_thread_link
3. Edit the Template "FORUMDISPLAY"(without quotes):

Find:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a></vb:if>

Replace with:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">

         <li>

                 <vb:if condition="$foruminfo['new_thread_link']">

                 <a href="{vb:raw foruminfo.new_thread_link}" rel="nofollow">

                 {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}&hellip;

                 </a>

                 <vb:else />

                 {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}&hellip;

                 </a>

         </vb:if>

        </vb:if>

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">

         <vb:if condition="$foruminfo['new_thread_link']">

                 <a href="{vb:raw foruminfo.new_thread_link}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top">

Here is what I did...

I'm using 4.2.3 beta 4. I used your edit and the "button' disappeared but the text stayed. Has anyone tried using this on 4.2.2 or 4.2.3? Also there should be a third edit because the bottom button is the same.

Is anyone is around that still uses this plugin please here my plea. LOL, please help
