New Thread button when viewing a thread. · **Released**: 11-18-2005

I released this one already on vB3.5.0 beta but I now made it a little better.
In the 1st you got a 'new thread' button only on top.
It now also displays on on the bottom of the thread.

The 3.5.0 template mod was quiet popular (60 installs) so
hopefully many people enjoy this one aswel

Preview shows enough!

How would I make this button not appear if the forum is closed?

Go to yourdomain.TLD/admincp/template.php?do=modify find the templated called SHOWTHREAD (CaSeSeNsItIvE).

In the SHOWTHREAD find:

PHP Code:


			
<!-- controls above postbits -->

Replace the entire table section whit:

PHP Code:


			
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" style="margin-bottom:3px">

<tr valign="bottom">

    <td class="smallfont"><a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$forumid" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;

    <if condition="$show['largereplybutton']"><a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$FIRSTPOSTID" rel="nofollow"><if condition="$show['closethread']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /><else /><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadclosed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[closed_thread]" border="0" /></if></a></td>

    <else />

        <td class="smallfont">&nbsp;</td>

    </if>

    <if condition="$show['pagenav']"><td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav</td></if>

</tr>

</table>

In the SHOWTHREAD find:

PHP Code:


			
<!-- controls below postbits -->

Replace the lines to the first /else: (about three or four lines)

PHP Code:


			
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">

<tr valign="top">

    <td class="smallfont"><a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$forumid" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;

    <if condition="$show['largereplybutton']"><a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$LASTPOSTID" rel="nofollow"><if condition="$show['closethread']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /><else /><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadclosed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[closed_thread]" border="0" /></if></a></td>

    <else />

Remember to note the table preferances at your style template and fit them into this script.

Thanks for this. A lot of my members where asking for it. Is there anyway to write this so if the thread is closed the only thing that shows up is the closed gif? The above replacement still shows the newthread.gif.

Thanks,
Parker

And I have to emit I haven't notice this my self
