Global "New Thread" Button in Navbar · **Released**: 07-01-2008

This mod adds a New Thread button or link to the navbar so that your users can start a new thread with two clicks from anywhere on the forums. First they click New Thread, then they click on the forum they want to post in. The hierarchical list of forums should respect all forum permissions, and forums where the user can post are shown as a link.

Features:

Show/hide large New Thread button (Settings in the Global New Thread Button Options group)
Show large New Thread button as Text or the default vB New Thread button () (added v1.1)
Show/hide navbar New Thread link
Show/hide forum descriptions on the listing of forums
All HTML is in templates (scroll down to the temlates that start with gntb_)
All language is in phrases (they all start with gntb_)
The product can be enabled/disabled in the Product Manager, rather than adding the extra overhead of an on/off switch in the options
Easy installation: Import the products XML file

Hello,

Is it possible to allow New Thread only in selected forum names instead of all Forum Names appearing (I have over 500). ?

	</td>

Add directly below:

Code:

<!-- Global "New Thread" Button -->
 <td class="alt1">
<div align="center"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/newthread.php" title="Post A New Thread"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif"></a></div></td>
       <!-- / Global "New Thread" Button -->

Puts the button right to the left of "Logged in as ...." info - Up close and personal :P
Thanx again for the modification SOCKWATER - I was certainly looking for something just like this

Jacquii.

ps - apologies for my "loudness" in the previous post :blush:

Thanks

Uninstalled. My members when they get new information they click the new thread button without going into the actual section. So if their new information is posted, then they can't see it, so they post the new topic. Next thing I know, I have 6 topics talking about the same exact thing.

Do you think you can implement a way so that after they select the forum, it shows the latest X posts?

I'm going to try this mod since it seems like a good idea.

This does follow forum permissions in the listing right?

The button is your default 'new post' button.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
