Hi Oreo,

so you want the "create thread" button next to the board's name (above the description)?

Edit:

put this wherever you want in the template under "board list" tab.

<a href="/thread/new/$[board.id]" class="button">Create Thread</a>

hey, it doesnt seem to work sorry.

if i put it anywhere on the template it shows up 5 times at the top of the board.

if i put it at the bottom before the closing tag, then it shows up once but clicks to an inaccessible board, which is strange because i don't have any for me ( admin )  

If this can be fixed could i have the button on the front page on the categories pls, this is what i meant by boards my bad sorry


edit: iv got a plugin which lets you choose which board u want to post to in the post edit, box if this has something to do with.

anyone help with this pls, im wanting the create thread button on the front page on the categories, i've got a plugin which lets you choose which board to put the thread in so the code doesnt have to be for that specific board ..... would be nice if it was but its not important.


thxs in advance.

This may or may not be what you want, but you can go to the Board List Layout and find this. Create a new line and add the red below the blue text.

<td class="latest last">
{if $[board.posts] > 0}
{if $[board.last_thread]}
$[board.last_thread.recent_link]<br />
by $[board.last_thread.last_post.created_by]<br />
<span class="date">$[board.last_thread.last_post.created_on]</span>
<a href="/thread/new/$[board.id]" class="button">Create Thread</a>
{/if}
{else}


    Displays like this

It works fine on my board. The only place i could get it to work is in the last post column.

 but iv got permissions different on my boards ..... go see goldenbeatz.uk/  iv taken the code out until i fix it, but you can see you cant create threads in the first board.


I'll leave it in the last column then thats fine thanks.
