Confirm Correct Forum Before New Thread · **Released**: 04-01-2006

NOTE: There is an AJAX version with some added features here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hreadid=114388

-------------------------------------------
This is a simple mod that will display a confirmation window, asking the user to confirm that they are posting in the correct forum. It should help prevent people from posting in the wrong forums (and then you have to move them).

If they click "Okay" it goes to the new thread page. If they click "Cancel" it goes back to the forum home page.
-------------------------------------------

In the newthread template find:

PHP Code:


			
$navbar

BELOW that add:

PHP Code:


			
<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

var answer = confirm ("You are about to post a new thread in the $foruminfo[title] forum. Make sure this the correct forum for your topic.")

if (!answer)

window.location="index.php"

// -->

</script>

Enjoy!

Could this be used for certain users.

The users i select to have it showing leaving users i don't want to have it able to create a new thread without having to confirm

However, its not what I am looking for. I would like a pop up where the users have to click OK before the topic is opened. Somebody?

The above mod didn' t work.

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