disable new thread button in a forumid mod
 

Hi there
I'm not a coder
i know i can disable the new thread button with the usergroup permission.
But if i wanna disable the new thread button in a forum for all users but don't wanna change the permission because this group need to create new thread in other forums?

example i have create a forumid 126 and i wanna change the link for the new thread button of this forum, i changed my forumdisplay template (add blue text):

<if condition="$forumid <> 126">
<if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a><else />&nbsp;</if></td>
<if condition="$pagenav"><td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav</td></if>
<else />
<if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="http://www.bobmarleymagazine.com/forum_bmwm/misc.php?do=form&fid=1" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a><else />&nbsp;</if></td>
<if condition="$pagenav"><td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav</td></if>
</if>

the question is:
if i wanna create a simple mod where i go in the vbulletin option and select my mod (example "disable new thread button") and there i have a one simple line text field where i put the exclusion forumid and so change the variable in my condition above (note: without the change link button only for disable it) how can i do?


<if condition="$forumid <> variable of my mod">
<if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a><else />&nbsp;</if></td>
<if condition="$pagenav"><td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav</td></if>
</if>

somebody can help me to create this little mod?

I'm stuck on this line:
Why don't you just go to Forum Permissions > find the forum > select the usergroup > Can Post Threads > No ?

yes lynne thanks but if i wanna create this little mod for disable and change the link you can help me?

Well, OK....

You'd have to turn on debug mode to add the setting. Let's say you call it "yoursetting" and you put in a series of forumids, x,y,z. You now have an array which you will have to explode in a plugin to use:
Then you can use it in a conditional in your templates:
