Hide Post Buttons · **Released**: 05-15-2002

Another small hack, this one requested by cessna140.

It will remove the New Thread and/or Post Reply buttons from showthread and forumdisplay if the user does not have permission to post a New Thread and/or Post a Reply.

Again, it's really quite simple. Download the attached file and follow the instructions.

Please no PMs, email, ICQ, or AIM about this hack. It will be ignored.

I left off two instructions, for adding the showthread_threadbutton and showthread_replybutton templates. I've updated the instructions file.

I finally got it to work with inphinity's help!

Thanks inphinity for sending me the updated code. I thought I was cracking up, I knew there had to be more steps than I had. For some reason I could not download any of the updated versions even though I flushed my cache.

Thank you tubedogg for making the hack, works as advertised!

Here is what I get when logged in with permission to post/reply... the normal operation of a thread.

cessna140 · #15 05-17-2002, 03:25 AM

This is what I get when visiting without permission to post/reply. The New Thread and Reply buttons are gone from the top but not from the bottom...

You apparently haven't completed this step. That's the only reason why it wouldn't work.

instructions look fine now

cessna140 try clearing your browser's cache and redownloading the instructions.

i was just thinking instead of _removing_ the buttons for the majority of boards replacing them with big _register_ buttons would probably be more beneificial for getting users to register

inphinity,
Good suggestion :alien:

aidler · #19 06-08-2002, 05:17 PM

Is it confirmed that this hack works with 2.2.6?? I installed the hack and had the following problem: The reply button was gone even for users who have the permission to reply to other's posts.

in addition I use the quick reply box hack and would like to have the quick reply box vanish as well when a user has no permission to post.

Ok... no reply :angry:

/ UNINSTALL HACK /

Who need's a hack that doesn't work....very disappointing :disappointed:

aidler - The Quick Reply Box DOES dissapear when you dont have permission to post...

@The Dissapearing buttons - Are you sure you didnt make an error somewhere?

Nice hack btw...
