If I were running 3.7 I would.

I'm trying to prepare for when we upgrade to 3.7 by finding out if my currently installed mods will work with it.

Yes, it works.

CampinCarl · #54 06-06-2008, 05:40 AM

no it doesnt.
I just tested it out, and it makes the field in the admin panel, but doesnt erdirect.
If you could make it work with 3.7, that would be great!

RedGTiVR6 · #55 06-10-2008, 02:43 PM

any updates on this?

If you've done a significant version update you've probably reverted or edited the FORUMDISPLAY template. Re-do the edits described originally. It works fine on my 3.7.1.

It works on 3.7.1

Great Hack this one!

Abe, one suggestion:

You should put some information on your Forms Hack informing users that you have this one here, as it would be a tremendous help for us non-coders and little experienced (just like myself!)

Keep on the excellent work! :up: :up:

I have this working on 3.7.1 though I have a question. How can I make it work so that when you hit the button you have to have a minimum post count other wise you get a box saying you do not have the proper permissions? If so that would be great!

BlueBulletRL · #60 08-15-2008, 06:46 PM

anyone able to help me out here please? I have tried to figure it out on my own and have so far failed.

<if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">
    <tr><td class="vbmenu_option">
    <if condition="$foruminfo['edit_new_thread_button']">
        <a href="$foruminfo[edit_new_thread_button]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[post_a_new_thread]</a>
    <else />
        <if condition="$post[posts] < '25'" >
            <a href="$foruminfo[edit_new_thread_button]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[post_a_new_thread]</a>
        <else />
            <a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[post_a_new_thread]</a>
        </if>
     </if>
    </td></tr>
</if>

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
