hide buttons

[Sebastian]

anyone know if it's possible to hide the reply buttons on postbit when the thread is closed?

What version are you running Sebastian? What you're asking for is native to vb3. If you've modified the reply button out of your showthread template, replace

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" />

with

<if condition="$show['closethread']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /><else /><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadclosed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[closed_thread]" border="0" ></if>

i tried that before.. $show['closethread'] only works in the showthread template it appears.. doesnt have affect on postbit template. i wonder if there is a different conditional for postbit template.

i am using rc3

Sorry I misunderstood your question.

I tried using the closthread condition and you're aboslutely right...

If you're using quickreply you can replace

<!-- controls -->
<if condition="$post['editlink']">
<a href="$post[editlink]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/edit.gif" alt="$vbphrase[edit_delete_message]" border="0" /></a>
</if>
<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">
<a href="$post[forwardlink]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/forward.gif" alt="$vbphrase[forward_message]" border="0" /></a>
</if>
<if condition="$post['replylink']">
<a href="$post[replylink]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply_small.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" /></a>
</if>
<if condition="$SHOWQUICKREPLY AND !$show['threadedmode']">
<a href="$post[replylink]" onclick="return qr($post[postid]);"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/quickreply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[quick_reply_to_this_message]" border="0" /></a>
</if>
<!-- / controls -->

With

<!-- controls -->
<if condition="$SHOWQUICKREPLY">
<if condition="$post['editlink']">
<a href="$post[editlink]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/edit.gif" alt="$vbphrase[edit_delete_message]" border="0" /></a>
</if>
<if condition="$post['forwardlink']">
<a href="$post[forwardlink]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/forward.gif" alt="$vbphrase[forward_message]" border="0" /></a>
</if>
<if condition="$SHOWQUICKREPLY">
<if condition="$post['replylink']">
<a href="$post[replylink]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply_small.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply_with_quote]" border="0" /></a>
</if></if>
<if condition="$SHOWQUICKREPLY AND !$show['threadedmode']">
<a href="$post[replylink]" onclick="return qr($post[postid]);"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/quickreply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[quick_reply_to_this_message]" border="0" /></a>
</if>
</if>
<!-- / controls -->

And achive your desired results... Hopefully when the documentation is complete you'll find a condition to do this without having to check if the quickreply is enabled.

that should work... I'll test it when I get home from work and update you on it.

[Sebastian]

that won't work too well either. i allow unregistered members to post, so that will hide the reply button since non-members cant use quickreply..

anyhow, i found a variable that can be used in postbit to tell if a thread is open or closed: $thread[open]

cheers.
