Different "New Thread" graphic for each forum - without creating new templates

[mike095]

In vbulletin 2.2.1, we want different "New Thread" graphics for each forum.

In the template called "forumdisplay_newthreadlink"

The original code shows

<a href="newthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=newthread&forumid=$foruminfo[forumid]">

<img src="{newthreadimage}" border="0" alt="Post New Thread"></a><br>

-----------------------------------------
How can we change the image tag to be dependent on the $foruminfo[forumid]

The could might be something like:

//------------------------------------------------------------;
switch($foruminfo[forumid])
{
case "84":
<img src="/images/image84.gif" border="0" alt="Post New Thread"></a><br>
break;
//--- break prevents the code from running other cases;
case "5":
<img src="/images/image5.gif" border="0" alt="Post New Thread"></a><br>
break;
case "3":
<img src="/images/image3.gif" border="0" alt="Post New Thread"></a><br>
break;
default:
<img src="{newthreadimage}" border="0" alt="Post New Thread"></a><br>
break;
}//-- end switch;

---------------------------------------------

but this doesn't work as an in-line script. Any ideas of a script that would switch out the button code based on the forum id?

Thanks in advance

Put this in the proper part of forumdisplay.php

PHP Code:

switch($foruminfo['forumid'])
{
    case "84":
        $newthreadimage="images/image84.gif";
    break;
    case "5":
        $newthreadimage="images/image5.gif";
    break;
    case "3":
        $newthreadimage="images/image3.gif";
    break;
    default:
        $newthreadimage="images/reply.gif";
    break;
} 


Open up forumdisplay_newthreadlink template, and find

PHP Code:

{newthreadimage} 


Replace it with

PHP Code:

$newthreadimage

It just changes your newthread button depending on which image you choose for which forumid.

The easiest thing to do here would be to to add a new field to the forum table

or edit the template

img src="newreply{forumid}.gif"

^ The best idea i've heard all day

[high]* Mist wonders how he forgets the easy things like this

I think you may have to use a variable instead but that's a good principle - you'll have to make a new image for EVERY forum you have though unfortunately

Yep that's why my way is still better

You can have an else statement, and you don't have to name your reply buttons your forumids
