Show Thread Enhancements - New Thread Button on post viewing

I find that members post more when there is a post new thread option after they have posted / when there reading thread so i have done the following with a little bit of help from Lynne (thanks)

Go to the Showthread template :

First find :

<a href="newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}" 
class="textcontrol" id="newreplylink_top"><vb:if condition="$show['closethread']"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase reply_to_thread}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase closed_thread}</vb:if></a>
			<img style="display:none" id="progress_newreplylink_top" src="images/misc/progress.gif"  alt="" />

then after add :

<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw thread.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a>

then find :

<a href="newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}" 
			class="textcontrol" id="newreplylink_bottom"
			><vb:if condition="$show['closethread']"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase reply_to_thread}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase closed_thread}</vb:if></a>

Then after add :

&nbsp <span style="padding-left:140px">
<a href="newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw thread.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_bottom"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a></span>

UPDATE

Make the new thread button bigger as requested

Go to > Showthread.css

At the very bottom add >

#newthreadlink_top, #newthreadlink_bottom {
	background: {vb:stylevar control_content_background};
	-moz-border-radius: {vb:stylevar control_content_radius};
	-webkit-border-radius: {vb:stylevar control_content_radius};
	-moz-box-shadow: 0 3px 8px #e1e1e1;
	-webkit-box-shadow: 0 3px 8px #e1e1e1;
	font: {vb:stylevar control_content_font};
	color: {vb:stylevar control_content_color};
	padding: {vb:stylevar control_content_padding};
	display:inline-block;
	clear:both;
}
#newthreadlink_top span, #newthreadlink_bottom span {
	font-size:15px;
	font-weight:bold;
	display:inline;
}
#newthreadlink_top:hover, #newthreadlink_bottom:hover {
	background: {vb:stylevar control_content_hover_background};
}

This is so very wonderful! One of the things I was looking for. Thank you!

I now have VB4 Beta 4 and just added this and it works great!

Thanks that works fine :up: one thing though is slightly out of alignment with the 'Reply to Thread' button, is there a way to fix that ?

[cabledr]

I will look at that now it can only be either coding or the .css i added

[taffy056]

Thanks very much, it looks like this at the moment

[cabledr]

At the moment only way i can get them in a sort of inline mode is one above the other what in my eyes dont look as nice

[taffy056]

perhaps there is a way for the 'reply to thread' icon to be inline with what you have done?

I am happy with it in truth as is, people put so much effort into hacks that sometimes I feel that we are asking to much, so thanks for your efforts

[cabledr]

i will not give up im just trying to finish a bsic thanks mod untill the real one is rereleashed and i have a shoutbox in the works but dont you worry we will sort something

[cabledr]

i have a semi thanks button now working just needs a few final touches only issue is cant stop people from thanking there selfs and its all new coding not a modded mod
