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

Installed. I modified the XML to change the URL for newthread.php since I am using VbA CMPS, but it works great.

Beautiful!

Thank you, installed and nominated :up:

I am having an issue where logged in users are allowed to see forums where they do not have access to post new threads. How do we fix that?

When I select to have it display on the right it stays on the left????

I tried it with a double navi bar and it doesn't work well, widens the bar too much, takes the member to the archives ... I think to complicated for my members. but good idea for others

sockwater, as you know, I love this add-on. Would it be difficult to update it so it only showed forums where you can post a new thread? It's a little confusing a if a user clicks the 'Announcements' forum and get's a permission error. You know how wretchedly inaccurate those can be in vB.

Hi,

Very nice mod. Thanks for offering it.

Allow me to point out a possible typo, if it hasn't already been mentioned.

In Global New Thread Button Options, the description provided (in version 1.1) for the Show Large New Thread Button setting is as follows:

<< Show a large New Thread button to the left of the breadcrumbs in the navbar. You may change how this button looks by editing the gntb_navbarbutton template. This will attempt to insert the HTML into your navbar. If it fails, try the navbar link above or manually insert a link to newthread.php in your navbar. >>

There doesn't appear to actually be a template called "gntb_navbarbutton," unless I'm missing something. (Maybe I am.) Is it possible that the correct template is "gntb_newthreadbutton"?

Thanks.

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