Optionally open thread in new window

This is something my users really enjoy. Appended to the end of each thread title in the forumdisplay is an image that they can click on to open it in a new window.

In your threadbit template find:

<strong><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a></strong>

Add this underneath:

<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" target="_blank"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/new_window.gif" alt="New Window" width="16" height="16" border="0"></a>

Now upload this image to your forums/images/misc directory

That's it!

K! Found my problem and hope it solves anyone else's.

Look for this:

 
<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']">
				<strong><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a></strong>

			<else />

Then you place the Mod Coding after:

<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" target="_blank"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/new_window.gif" alt="New Window" width="16" height="16" border="0"></a>

The images doesn't show on the end like the above image but rather to the left of the title.

or you can place it after:

<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a>

To make it show on the right of the thread title.

I could not make it work with the instructions so here is what worked for me on the latest version of vb. Find the line bellow in the same place the original instructions say to in the threadbit template but instead look for the line bellow and add the code above or bellow it. If you add above it the icon will be to the left if you add bellow it the icon will be to the right. I have attached my threadbit for admin or anyone else to see.

<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a>

Here is mine to the right:

<else />
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]">$thread[threadtitle]</a>
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" target="_blank"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/new_window.gif" alt="New Window" width="16" height="16" border="0"></a>
</if>

Admin/Mod ... Please edit my post accordingly I know you want it your way so please make changes as you see fit. I hope this helps anyone else with problems.

U can also add like this:

<a href="showthread.php?goto=lastpost&$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" target="_blank"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/new_window.gif" alt="New Window" width="16" height="16" border="0"></a>

to go to last post.

I think that is better.
