New Thread Button on post viewing · **Released**: 11-18-2009

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 :

HTML Code:

<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 :

HTML Code:

<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 :

HTML Code:

<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 :

HTML Code:

&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 >

HTML Code:

#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};
}

Can you post up this way, as its a lot more out of line now that 4.0 gold has come out.

Thanks for sharing this :up:

I can get the top section to line up by doing this:

In SHOWTHREAD template:

After:

Code:

{vb:rawphrase reply_to_thread}

Add:

Code:

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

I can't get the bottom one to work right yet. I also would like to put a space between the 2 buttons but putting

Code:

&nbsp;

between them doesn't seem to work.

A quick fix to get around that would be to make a small transparent image upload it to say images/misc and use <img src="images/misc/transparent_spacer.png> between the 2 buttons.

Did you get the bottom one so it is inline also? If so, how did you do this?
