I've installed this hack and set it up with "newreply.php?do=form" but when I hit the new thread button it says "Sorry! This forum is not accepting new posts." Any ideas?

newreply.php?do=form is the right link?

Again, back to form, and so, back to this plugin, always worked like a charm.

Installed, but it doesnt show in the Vbulletin Options list.

Im on 3.7.3

Am i looking in the wrong place or forgetting something, its in the plugin list.

EDIT: I clicked wrong one, it is not this one causing errors, but another mod. This one works like a charm

I am now getting this error

We updated to 3.6.10 (yes we are slow, have so many mods we have to test before we do next update). Now we can't get any new post with this, this is our way to get new clan members. They are unable to post now any suggestions anyone?

For Vb 4.0.2:

Install the product. Do the follow 3 template edits in FORUMDISPLAY template:

1) Find the code for "Create New Thread" top button:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a></vb:if> 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><vb:if condition="$foruminfo['edit_new_thread_button']"><a href="{vb:raw foruminfo.edit_new_thread_button}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a>
<vb:else />
<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a></vb:if>
</vb:if> 


2) Find the code for "Create New Thread" on Forum Tools menu:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">
    <li>
        <a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}" rel="nofollow">
            {vb:rawphrase post_a_new_thread}&hellip;
        </a>
    </li>
</vb:if> 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">
    <li>
        <vb:if condition="$foruminfo['edit_new_thread_button']">
        <a href="{vb:raw foruminfo.edit_new_thread_button}" rel="nofollow"> {vb:rawphrase post_a_new_thread}&hellip;
        </a>
        <vb:else />
        <a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}" rel="nofollow">
            {vb:rawphrase post_a_new_thread}&hellip;
        </a>
        </vb:if>
    </li>
</vb:if> 


3) Find the code for "Create New Thread" bottom button:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink'] AND $show['threadslist']">
    <a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_bottom"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a>
</vb:if> 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink'] AND $show['threadslist']"><vb:if condition="$foruminfo['edit_new_thread_button']"><a href="{vb:raw foruminfo.edit_new_thread_button}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_bottom"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a>
<vb:else />
<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_bottom"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a></vb:if>
</vb:if> 


Hope that helps all "4.x people" to keep this mod working.

I was wondering if we could do something like, when one clicks post reply in a particular thread it should redirect to a form. Is it possible to implement that in post reply instead of new thread?

[Digma]

Excellent. Just what I was looking for in combination with Easy Forums. Thanks for this!

Works like a charm on 3.7.3
