Post New Thread Button

Post New Thread Button To Showthread
Above, Below / Closed, Open Thread
(Tested To Default vB Skin Style And FF/IE Browser Only!)

Again...What Is This?
This is a simple and more better way to add the same Post New Thread Button to showthread page...to a closed and open thread...above and below with you to decide the space and adjust...

PROCEDURES/INSTALLATION:
[Pls. Read Clearly Or If You Need Reading Glass (Wear It First) And Follow The Steps Below

NOW GO:

ACP > Styles & Templates > Search in Templates > Search in Style:Click Dropdown Arrow (Choose Actual Style)> Search for Text: SHOWTHREAD > Search Titles Only: YES > Click Find

NOW SELECT SHOWTHREAD TO OPEN!

======================================
1: ADDING POST NEW THREAD BUTTON ABOVE!
======================================

FIND THIS CODE:

Code:

<div id="above_postlist" class="above_postlist">

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

                        <a href="newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}&amp;noquote=1" 

class="newcontent_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>

ADD BELOW:

Code:

<!--- POST NEW THREAD BUTTON ABOVE START --->



<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw thread.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"  style="margin-left:10px;"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a>



<!--- POST NEW THREAD BUTTON ABOVE END --->

==================================
NOTE: ADJUST THE RED ONE IF NEEDED!
==================================

======================================
2: ADDING POST NEW THREAD BUTTON BELOW!
======================================

NOW GO DOWN BELOW AND SEARCH/FIND THIS CODE:

Code:

<div id="below_postlist" class="below_postlist">

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

                <a href="newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}&amp;noquote=1" 

        class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newreplylink_bottom">

==================================

SPECIAL NOTE:
Now you will notice that something is not right... the Post New Thread or Reply To Thread Button is quite larger or bigger than the others (Because Of The Font Size!)

ACP > Styles & Templates > Search in Templates > Search in Style:Click Dropdown Arrow (Choose Actual Style)> Search for Text: vbulletin-chrome.css > Search Titles Only: YES > Click Find

NOW GO SELECT vbulletin-chrome.css TO OPEN

Search in Template: .newcontent_textcontrol span { Click Find:

Code:

}

.newcontent_textcontrol span {

        font-size:15px;

        font-weight:bold;

        display:inline;

}

CHANGE/ADJUST THE RED INTO: 10-12px

Nice of you to share, but what is the point of a newthread button in showthread?

Threads go in forums. That's why there's a newthread button there.

Why not put one in usercp.php and payments.php? Can we maybe get one in the archive? What about CMS and blogs?

That's a bit rude Kall.
I find a 'new thread' button on showthread very handy as do my members; besides being convenient it has also cut down on thread hijacking/going off topic if that button is *right there* to click for the member to start a new thread because what they were reading inspires them/makes them think of something similar.

I don't use a LOT of the mods because their use doesn't pertain to the use of MY forum, but I don't post snide comments in the mod threads.

AWESOME.......first thanks for making one of these mods work, and thanks for the PM letting me know you made it.

I have had members begging for this.

Its nice to give them something that works LOL

Yep my members make several posts at a time in certain forums so having the New thread button saves on a click for each new thread made.

Great little mod rated 5 and installed.

I installed this following the directions, but for some reason the button and reply button are now only showing to unregistered members. Any idea how to make it to show to registered members?

installed

thanxxx

hi there....this is impossible...we together of my members are using this without problem...this is something to do with adding maybe a conditional...maybe try to add this...

Show only members:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['member']">CODE HERE!</vb:if>

hi...this is possible maybe by adding conditional too...not tested but you can try to add this code...

Show specific user groups :

Code:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2,3)">CODE HERE!</vb:if>

================================

Show only moderators of any forum:

Code:

<vb:if condition="can_moderate()">CODE HERE!</vb:if>

best regards and hope that helped you guys...

PLS. MARKED INSTALLED-NOMINATE-RATE!

Just wanted to say thanks. I posted to the thread for the mod that is giving the conflict to see if that coder can fix his mod so none of the other buttons get effected.

Thanks for your help.

PS. Thanks to PrinceEdwards help, both mods are now working just fine. In the mod that was causing the conflict, it was a simple fix. I did not realize that the advance reply mod I use, has an option to hide the reply button. I set this to no, and now things work just fine.

Hi, princeedward .

It's a great mod. I test in 2 browser, firefox and opera.

But seems the "style="margin-left:160px"; 160px is excess, I change to 155px, and works fine in Opera Brower, but does not align in FireFox.

Another question, the Above Button and Below Button looks the same, why theirs margin-left is different?

---------------160px abnormal in Opera-------------

---------------155px normal in Opera----------------

This issue is too strange, I'm not good at programming.
Have you tried to explored it with other coders or designer? I'll try to ask someone.
Hope it will be solved early. :)

Thanks for this mod.
Note that it works with the Article Forums v4.x Mod
