Confirm Correct Forum Before New Thread (AJAX)

There is a better version here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hreadid=114388

NOTE: To use this mod you have to disable the WYSIWYG editor option. Go to vBulletin Options > Message Posting Interface Options and set Full Editor to "Enable Standard Controls".

This product will ask the user if they are sure that they are in the correct forum before posting a new thread. If they click "Yes" then the New Thread box will appear immediately (via AJAX).

If they are not in the correct forum, they will be able to choose a different forum from a drop-down box (similar to forum jump). When they choose a different forum it automatically takes them to a new thread in that forum, where they are asked to confirm again.

This should save a lot of headaches with people posting in the wrong forums. It reduces thread-moves.


1) Install the product

2)Find in newthread:

PHP Code:

$navbar 


BELOW Add:

PHP Code:

<div id='thread_confirm' align="center"><br /> 
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="border-width: 1px"> 
<tr class="tcat"><td><div align="left">&nbsp<img id="pi_4" title="Exclamation" onclick="rb_iconid_4.click()" alt="Exclamation" src="images/icons/icon4.gif"><b>&nbsp Confirm Forum</b></div></td></tr> 
<tr> 

    <td class="alt1"> 
<div align="center"><br />You are about to post a new thread in the <u><b>$foruminfo[title]</b></u>  
forum.<br /> 
<i><b>Please make sure this is the correct forum for your topic.</b></i> 
<br /><br /> 
<input type='button' class='button' value='YES, $foruminfo[title] is the correct forum!' onclick='cm_NewThread(this)' /><hr> 
No, I need to post in a different forum:<br> 
$forumjump2 
<br /> 
    </td> 

    </tr> 
</table> 
</div> 

<script type='text/javascript'> 
<!-- 

function cm_NewThread(cButton) 
{ 
document.getElementById('new_thread').style.display = 'block'
document.getElementById('thread_confirm').style.display = 'none' 
} 

--> 
</script> 


3) Find (still in newthread):

PHP Code:

<form action="newthread.php" method="post" name="vbform"<if condition="!is_browser('webtv')"> onsubmit="return vB_Editor['$editorid'].prepare_submit(this.subject.value, $vboptions[postminchars])"</if>> 


Add ABOVE:

PHP Code:

<div id='new_thread' style='display:none'> 


4) Find (still in newthread):

PHP Code:

$footer 


Add ABOVE:

PHP Code:

</div>

Could this be restricted to certain groups or only for people who are about to make their first post? (or first x posts)

That should be easy with an 'if' statement before the code. Good idea!

Glad to help! I've been really getting tired of moving threads on my site.

I think I've worked out all of the bugs. Let me know if there is something I missed.

Thanks!
