Need to remove new post link from 'forumdisplay' but not for subforums

[joeschmoe]

Hi, I have my forums set up like this:

Main Forum
-forum 1
--subforum 1a
--subforum 1b
-forum 2
-- subforum 2a
-- subforum 2b

etcetera

I want to remove the "$newthreadlink" from the forumdisplay templates in forum 1, forum 2, etc., but NOT from the subforum x forums.

If anyone can provide any help, I'd really appreciate it!

edit forumdisplay.php find:

PHP Code:

if ($foruminfo['allowposting']==1) {
  eval("\$newthreadlink = \"".gettemplate('forumdisplay_newthreadlink')."\";");
} 


Replace it as:

PHP Code:

if ($foruminfo['allowposting']==1 AND ($foruminfo[forumid]!=X OR $foruminfo[forumid]!=Y)) {
  eval("\$newthreadlink = \"".gettemplate('forumdisplay_newthreadlink')."\";");
} 


Replace X and Y with the forumids that you do NOT want the link be displayed..

There is a way to integrate it into the Admin CP, and make it a standard feature of the vB if you wanted
