- - New Posting Features - Post Always (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=277324)

A change in vBulletin 4.1.10, removes the new post and new thread buttons from display if the user does not have that permission. However this can reduce forum activity because people won't see the button if they get logged out for any reason.

This addon adds a new option to have the New Post and New Thread buttons shown on showthread.php and forumdisplay.php respectively.

Includes a setting and two plugins to restore the previous functionality.

To install, import the product file.

To enable, go to Settings -> Options -> Message Posting and Editing Options. Edit the Show Post Buttons option to Yes.

No template edits required. No additional files. No permission changes required.

Good to see you releasing stuff, sir. ;)

Awesome modification!

Installed, but not doing anything.

Can't even find the options to turn it on or off.

4.1.10

It should be at the bottom of Settings -> Options -> Message Posting and Editing Options. The default for the option is No or Off.

nice mod im going to tag it since im 4.1.9 and not upgrading till every other upgrade, so i will def be needing this mod in the close future.

I don't see a setting in the product file. Just the settings phrases.

Updated the download in the first post. Sorry.

That did it.

Thank you very much. :)

Installed & working

4.1.10 :)

No biggie. It happens to the best of us. ;)

Thanks for that mod. Not just for coding it, but for actually makeing me aware of this issue.

For me that is a big one and i most likely would have missed it for a long time since i do not surf as a guest on our site.

if people start using a vbulletin product maker it woudnt happen
its does all the admincp stuff /phrases and descrptions and templates

i used one for all the mods and template i create

That is called the Advanced Product Management mod. Better than sliced bread! ;)

marked but not installed yet

And installed (well kinda, we use the plugins but do not need the option to switch it on and off, so this was removed).

Again thank you.

Thanks for sharing this mod :)

My thoughts exactly! :up:

Thanks Wayne.
Installed. I had no idea about that issue.

Thanks for the mod

Realy bad move of IB to do this change and not tell us about it

Installed. Why it was removed form 4.1.10?

Wayne, how do I "import" a file?

(I am using cPanel for my server. Do I save the file to my PC, and then upload it to a certain file folder in cPanel?)

In your Admin CP you go to Plugins / Products -> Add new Product.

I have faced a problem with this mod.
Click on a category and you will be able to find the button also shown in there.

Please if you can fix this.
Thanks!

Nice product. Installed.

I wonder if it is possible to show only the "post" button, but not the "new thread" button?

Please can You add an option for the admin to add New Thread button next to Reply button in the showthread ? Would be also very handy. // edit, here is the mod for that

Hi Wayne,

Thank you for making this mod. I have it installed and was hoping I could ask you a question regarding the functionality.

Currently when a guest clicks on the Post a Reply button they are shown the standard vB no permissions error page where they can choose to login or register. However, that error page isn't super clear and I was hoping to skip it entirely.

Is there a way to have your mod check if the user clicking on the "Post reply" button is a guest and if so, taking them directly to the registration page rather than the no permissions error page?

Thank you!

Actually I tinkered around with this a little bit and was able to edit the template (SHOWTHREAD) and was able to get this to work.

Changed this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
<vb:if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
            <a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}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>
            <img style="display:none" id="progress_newreplylink_top" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/progress.gif" alt="" />
        </vb:if>

to this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
<vb:if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">
<a href="/register.php" 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><img style="display:none" id="progress_newreplylink_top" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/progress.gif" alt="" /><vb:else />

            <a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}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>
            <img style="display:none" id="progress_newreplylink_top" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/progress.gif" alt="" />
        </vb:if></vb:if>

This changes the button to always go straight to the registration page for guests when they click on the reply button.
