New Thread - forum chooser on newthread.php
 

Is anyone up to this?

Effectively, I would like to give people the ability to click the New Thread button and have the standard new thread options, but also a drop-down link to specify which forum the thread goes to.

The dropdown would need to be permission following, and would be similar to the Forum Jump dropdown.

Please?

heh. I just posted the same in response to this thread:

Bump.

So basically you want to be able to post in any forum FROM any forum, right?

Pretty much... but the 'Forum to Post to' option should ideally be in newthread.php and be auto-populating, based on permissions.

That's why I thought the Forum Jump code could be ustilised.

But if you base it on the forumjump, wouldn't that add a load of queries everytime it showed? ;)

BooDoo has a point; it would add additional unnecessary queries to that page. Maybe I'm confused. What your wanting is; when a user clicks on the newthread.php page, it would have a drop down menu of which forum that thread should be posted in?

BooDoo is coming after Chicken Wire! ;)

OK, so my love affair with the forumjump is ill founded.

Yup, you are right. A permissions-based dropdown that effectively sets the forumid of the post.

Don't walk to fast, wouldn't want you to break a hip. :p

Well there isn't a forumjump in the newthread.php page. I guess you can use the existing forumjump and place it between the <form></form> tags. But there is more to it then just that, thats the idea.
