show newthread or newreply button in hack

[almannai]

Hi,

I have this situation where the hack need to check if the user can post new thread or new reply depending on the displayed page. So on forums page the new thread button will be shown and on the thread page the new reply button will be show. With forcing the permissions of the forum or the user. Like if the forums does not allow post the new thread button shouldn't be displayed.

like this code in a plugin

if(allow new post)// What it should be written here-the condition
{
//do this
}else if (allow new reply)// What it should be written here
{
//do other thing
}

Regards,

Anybody?

Also why plugin programming is poorly documented.

I looked at plugin system documentation and nothing there.

Programmer need to know variables list used by vbullettin like a list of $show variable and what each one will be used for.

Articles defiantly not enough, but sure it will help a bit.

Am' I the only one who is facing this problem, or this is a known issue by the rest!!!

First I would like to thank everybody have read this thread and Dismounted for his post.

I've decided to use the following for newthread and newreply in my hack template but still not working
<if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">
<if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
but the following are working
<if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">
<if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
can anybosy explain why?

Most likely, those variables are not set. Look in the vBulletin files to find where they are set. (A mass search tool would be useful.)

Thank you Dismounted for your follow-ups.

The
<if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">
<if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">

Are taken directly from forumdisplay template and showthread template and they are working on my forum but not on the hack.

Anyway now 'am using
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay'">
I know this is not the best choice but this is the only working one.

Once I post the hack I will inform you here to have a look at it.

I'm the auther of that hack..

That's why am asking why that two conditions are not working were they should.

Again - check if the variable exists where you're using it.
