Code to change button link in one forum

I need to know what plugin code I would use to change the "+Post New Thread" button to say "+Submit Ticket" in just one forum only.

You could use the following PHP Plugin Code (Hook Location: forumdisplay_complete):

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($foruminfo['forumid'] == XX)
{
    $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'Submit Ticket';
}

where "XX" is the forumid of the forum in which you want to make the change. :)

With an array. Like this I believe:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($foruminfo['forumid'] = array(##,##,##))
{
    $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'Submit Ticket';
}

Should it be?

PHP Code:


		
			
if (in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(##,##,##)))

{

    $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'Submit Ticket';

}

Ok I found it how

This

PHP Code:


		
			
if (in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(xx,xxx,xx,xxx)))

{
    $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'Submit Ticket';
}

And this is opposite

PHP Code:


		
			
 if (!in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array(xx,xxx,xx,xxx)))

{
    $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'Submit Ticket';
}

EDIT: Thanks Đạt, I did not make a refresh, and did not see your answer.

Thanks for the correction. I should not have missed that!:erm:

Ok now, how make this more complicated :)

Make 2 or 3 buttons.

1st 'Submit Ticket' as it is.
2nd 'New Help Thread' or what else.

Do I have to make another plugin or I can include it in the first one
If so include, how?

Thanks...

You could use something like:

PHP Code:


		
			
switch ($foruminfo['forumid'])
{
    case XX:
        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'text for forum XX';
        break;
    case YY:
        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'text for forum YY';
        break;
    case ZZ:
        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'text for forum ZZ';
        break;
}

Yes Mark, this works as I asked.
But I cannot include more than one forum ID in each case.

Suppose this needs to have an array or how?

Thanks

Then you could use something like:

PHP Code:


		
			
switch ($foruminfo['forumid'])
{
    case XX:
        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'text for forum XX';
        break;
    case YY1:
    case YY2:
        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'text for forum YY1 and YY2';
        break;
    case ZZ1:
    case ZZ2:
    case ZZ3:
        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'text for forum ZZ1 and ZZ2 and ZZ3';
        break;
}

I am confused. Sorry for not understanding easily.

That's take the first code in post #11

PHP Code:


		
			
switch ($foruminfo['forumid'])

{

    case XX:

        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'Submit Ticket';

        break;

    case YY:

        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'New Help Thread';

        break;

    case ZZ:

        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'New Question Thread';

        break;

}

How I put more than 1 forum id? in
case XX:
case YY:
case ZZ:

Thanks

To better understand posts #11 and #13, I suggest reading:

PHP: switch - Manual

I think what you would need to dois replace the XX, YY, ZZ with the actual forum ids for those particular buttons. So you would put....

PHP Code:


		
			
switch ($foruminfo['forumid'])
{
    case 1:
        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'Submit Ticket';
        break;
    case 2:
        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'New Help Thread';
        break;
    case 3:
        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'New Question Thread';
        break;
}

where the numbers after the word case are the actual numbers of the forums corresponding to the buttons you want.

Sorry Mark I could not understand at start, that I can put as many case χχχ: i want.
I have read PHP Manual, but unfortunately i don't understand. You see many things that are easy for some people are very difficult for others. I try very hard but how forward can some one can go.

Thanks for your help, and by making a lot of tests-combinations than I realized.
Yes now its easy when is there a way to understand.

For some dummies like me.

PHP Code:


		
			
switch ($foruminfo['forumid'])
{
    case xxx:
    case xxx:
    case xxx:
    case xxx:
    case xxx:
    case xxx:
        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'Submit Ticket';
        break;
    case xxx:
    case xxx:
        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'New Help Thread';
        break;
    case xxx:
        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'What else name;
        break;
}

Where xxx is forum id

Hope if we put many forums id there is no problem to forum or else?

:)

EDIT: Len, we posted same time, did not see it first :)

LOL that is ok at least the info is there now for someone else if they get lost. :)

MarkFL

Suppose I have a forum with forumid 2 and I wish for the button to read "Submit Ticket", and I have 2 forums with forumids 3 and 4, and I wish for the button to read "Add to Tutorial" and I have 3 forums with forumids 5, 6 and 7 and I wish for the button to read "Ask the Expert."

Then my PHP Code should be:

PHP Code:


		
			
switch ($foruminfo['forumid'])
{
    case 2:
        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'Submit Ticket';
        break;
    case 3:
    case 4:
        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'Add to Tutorial';
        break;
    case 5:
    case 6:
    case 7:
        $vbphrase['post_new_thread'] = 'Ask the Expert';
        break;
}

Does that make sense? :)

edit: If not, then I will be glad to whip up a simple mod that will let you define the text for the button based on forumid, and use phrasing so you can translate them.

Its ok for me as it is, the only thing, if there is a problem when we put many forum ids.
