New Posting Features - Post New Thread from your post.

This mod was made by me and is very simple and was requested by another friend. Vbulletin has removed the post new thread or topic button in the showthread. As of now you have to go back out of the post and then click new thread.



This mod adds Post New Thread in the tool bar above the post



In your Admincp go to your theme and open the template called SHOWTHREAD and find:

<!-- toolbar -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px">
<tr>
 <td class="tcat" width="100%">
  <div class="smallfont">
  <if condition="$show['firstunreadlink']">
   <a href="$firstunread"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/firstnew.gif" alt="$vbphrase[view_first_unread]" border="0" /></a>
   <a href="$firstunread"><strong>$vbphrase[view_first_unread]</strong></a>
  </if>
  &nbsp;
  </div>
 </td>

and right after add this in

<td class="vbmenu_control" id="newthread" nowrap="nowrap"><a href="newthread.php?do=newthread&amp;f=$forum[forumid]"rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[post_new_thread]</a></td>

now save and you have added the post new thread or topic =)


attached is screen shot.

goto admincp > styles& templates > style manager > yourstyle > edittemplates > SHOWTHREAD

then find the code I provided and right after add in the code provided and save and your done. This will add the function to your toolbar above the post right next to the thread tools. Look at screen shot hope this helps.

Hey,

I am using this and was wondering if you knew if there was anyway, when you click the "Post New thread" if it can quote the OP of the current thread you are clicking that from?

Very nice. Thanks.

Would be nice to have : show new threads, too.

When clicking on "New Thread" with this I am getting
"Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"
Any ideas on how to fix this ?
