Add separate Label button to create thread?

[jrj84105]

I'd like something similar to the "Post Options Dropout" plugin that in the Create Thread interface pulls "label" out from the actions "cog" dropdown. If this plugin could also require the poster to apply a label, that would be great.
Thanks.

Any takers?

The Post Options Plugin already has the capability to pull the labels menu out of the cog menu (available only on posting page, elsewhere it is in actions menu instead) just go to the advanced tab and create an entry with the following values

The plugin obviously will not make it mandatory to enter a label though.

You can make it mandatory by adding the following code to the bottom of your posting page template^[1] board or global footer

<script type="text/x-javascript">
(function () { /* Mandatory thread labels (requires the post options dropout plugin) */
   $(document).on('formcreate', function (ev) {
       var form_data = $(ev.target).data('form'),
       label_input = $('input[name=labels]', form_data.element),
       postPageManager = proboards.postPageManager,
       labels_menu
       $(() => {

           if (postPageManager.fields) {
               if (postPageManager.fields.$labels && postPageManager.fields.$labels.length && !postPageManager.applied_effects.labels) {
                   form_data.options.validations.push({
                       field: "labels",
                       name: "label_exists",
                       message: "You must select a label for this thread",
                       opts: {
                           area_of_effect: ".posting-options.relocated-sub-menu"
                       }

                   })
               }
           } else if (pb.data('quick_reply') && ev.target.classList.contains("form_post_quick_reply") && (labels_menu = pb.data('labels_menu')) && pb.data('labels_applied').length === 0) {
               form_data.element.append(labels_menu = $(labels_menu))
               labels_menu.wrap('<div style="float:right;" class="label-container relocated-label" />').selectMenu({
                   status: 'Add Label',
                   updateInput: (label_input = $('<input type="hidden" name="labels" />').appendTo(form_data.element)),
                   menuOptions: {
                       click: function (e, t) { ;
                           $(t.item).parents(".select_menu_list").data("selectMenu").option("updateInput").val($(t.item).data("id"))
                       }
                   }
               }).find('.default-menu-option').hide();
               form_data.options.validations.push({
                   field: "labels",
                   name: "label_exists",
                   message: "You must select a label for this thread",
                   opts: {
                       area_of_effect: ".label-container.relocated-label"
                   }

               })
           }
       })
       jQuery.check_label_exists = function (value, opts) {
           return parseInt(label_input.val(), 10) > 0
       }
   })

})()
</script>

I'm a special kind of stupid.  I noticed that I had accidentally installed the dropout plugin twice, one with the "report" button and one with the "labels" button dropped out.  So I deleted the "report" version and clicked the "report user" option on the remaining instance.  I somehow lost the label dropout function in the process.  What did I do?

If you're looking for both buttons then it might be worth mentioning that those two buttons would not normally be seen together, the labels appear only when creating a post and the reportPost button appears only when viewing a post. If that is not what is occurring then I would need to create an account since the reportPost function is not something available to a guest (I can see the labels menu just fine when posting as a guest in your visitors board)

Edit: jrj84105 are you still needing assistance with this?

[jrj84105]

No- just looking in the wrong place.

})

})()

You should be able to instead add it to your global header if you have multiple themes and do not want to edit multiples or simply want the feature on every theme.

 This code does not work in the global header.
