Small New Thread Button on Forumhome

This template modificated is made by flup.

This mod will add a little image behind your subforum titel wich gives your
users the ability to start a thread right ahead from the forumhome page.

Screenshot included.

//Update v1.01
Now a little icon is placed together with the icon explanation images on bottom of the page (screenshot posted)

<< 3.5 RC 1 installed ^^

Sweet! I've actually been wanting something like this!

[Xplorer4x4]

Working on 3.5 RC2. Nice idea.

EDIT: I am getting better at codding. Ok, here is what i did to modify this to fit sub forums.

In the Forum Home Templates gorup find forumhome_subforumbit_post and below:

PHP Code:

<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/subforum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" /> <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a> 


Add this:

PHP Code:

<a href="newthread.php?do=newthread&f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/buttons/newthread-small.gif" border="0" alt="New Thread" /></a>

I like the idea of a seperate column for this mod.. how would I achieve a similar thing on VB 3.5 Gold? I am quite new to this mod game, my apologies for bringing this thread back up.

On second thought making this an in line image makes it slighlty more comestic on sub forums, and child forums:

PHP Code:

<a href="newthread.php?do=newthread&f=$forum[forumid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="images/buttons/newthread-small.gif" border="0" alt="New Thread" /></a>

Flup, would it be possible to to add some sort of if conditonal that will rpevent it showing up if the forum is simply a redirect to say your rules or support system ETC.

[akanevsky]

Nice. Why don't you actually make it in invision-style, with a small button aligned to the right?

In the template look up for the code with the image & link.

<if condition="$forum['link']"> <else /> the image and link code </if>

That would do the trick I think

[silurius]

Awesome! Installed.

Anyway To Make This So It Only Shows Up In A Certain Forum? Because I Have A Welcome Forum...And A New Thread ONLY For That One Would Be Nec... Right Now I Have It As A Link... Click In My Siggy To See What I Mean...
