New Thread image as a button

I'm having some trouble making a submit button work to create a new thread in the FORUMDISPLAY template.

Here's the code i'm using:

Code:

<td class="smallfont"><if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">

<form method="link" action="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow">

<input type="submit" class="button" value="New Thread" />

</form>

<else />&nbsp;</if></td>

I'm not sure if the rel="nofollow" should be there but it doesnt work with or without it.

It just says "You did not select any valid threads" as you can see here:

http://www.rockonpublishing.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=5
(click the top new thread button)

Interestingly, I just noticed that from the button it links to this URL:

http://www.rockonpublishing.co.uk/in....php?forumid=5

but the original image at the bottom links to:

http://www.rockonpublishing.co.uk/ne...=newthread&f=5

which is what I want my button to do!

Any ideas?

The threadbits are actually part of the inline moderation form (the ticks down the right side). This is the root of the problem you are having.

I'm not very good with this. I'm unsure of where to edit to achieve a submit button as the new thread image and what code / link to use.

Can you help?

No worries. I fixed it :)

Here's what fixed it:

Code:

<input type="button" name="create" value="New Thread" onClick="window.location='newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]'" class="button"/>

Thanks anyway! :)

What I did was replace the img-code with a table with a table-cell containing the same background image I use for the navbar and put the text on it. You can also put the link within span-tags and put background-color and border attributes on it to make it look like a button.

But nevermind, now I see you got it to work. That's what a few beers does to me. :-)
