Admins creates threads which are actually links

Ok this is a really neat idea requested by e_dove here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=36862

New version![/b]
Now includes links to Delete Thread as well as Stick/Unstick Thread.
If you already installed the hack, open forumdisplay.php and replace this:

    if (empty($thread['link'])) {
        $thread['link'] = "showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$thread[threadid]";
    }

with this:

	$thread['deletelink'] = '';
	if (empty($thread['link'])) {
		$thread['link'] = "showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&threadid=$thread[threadid]";
	} else {
		$thread['link'] = $thread['link'];
		if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) {
			$thread['deletelink'] = "(<a href=\"postings.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=deletethread&threadid=$thread[threadid]\">delete</a> | <a href=\"postings.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=stick&threadid=$thread[threadid]\">stick / unstick</a>)";
		}
	}

And in your forumdisplaybit template add $thread[deletelink] after $thread[pagenav].

It gives admins the option to create threads, in any forum, which are actually links to someplace else.
Really basic, when admins create a new thread they have a box to enter URL. If the box isn't empty, whenever the thread is accessed the user will be redirected to that URL.

Using vbHacker as always, edits newthread.php, showthread.php and forumdisplay.php. Adds a field to thread table, creates a new template and edits 2 existing templates.

Have fun.
