Confirm Correct Forum Before New Thread

NOTE: There is an AJAX version with some added features here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hreadid=114388

-------------------------------------------
This is a simple mod that will display a confirmation window, asking the user to confirm that they are posting in the correct forum. It should help prevent people from posting in the wrong forums (and then you have to move them).

If they click "Okay" it goes to the new thread page. If they click "Cancel" it goes back to the forum home page.
-------------------------------------------

In the newthread template find:

PHP Code:

$navbar 

BELOW that add:

PHP Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var answer = confirm ("You are about to post a new thread in the $foruminfo[title] forum. Make sure this the correct forum for your topic.")
if (!answer)
window.location="index.php"
// -->
</script> 

Enjoy!

That's a sweet, helpful code. I've added a forumid conditional to only include specific forums:

<if condition="in_array($forumid, array(x, y, z))">
<script type="text/javascript"> 
<!-- 
var answer = confirm ("You are about to post a new thread in the $foruminfo[title] forum. Make sure it is the correct forum for your topic.") 
if (!answer) 
window.location="index.php" 
// --> 
</script> 
</if>

Thanks, ChurchMedia. *Clicked install*

Could someone please convert this JS into AJAX? Would be great! Because I hate popups.
