Additional New Topic Button

[cprgolds]

I am not sure if this should be an extension request or not, but it would be useful to have a New Topic Button at the end of a Post adjacent to the Quick Reply button.

Some posted will make several posts in a row and it is more efficient to just start a new topic, rather than returning to the forum listing to do so.

Precisely!

That would require a new template event. I can create a ticket and a pull request. However, since some styles may offer the button and others not, I'm not sure if the developers would merge it. We'll see.

In the mean time, you can always add this yourself. There are two places to make this change, both in the same file.

OPEN: styles/prosilver/template/viewtopic_body.html

FIND:

Code: Select all

<a href="{U_POST_REPLY_TOPIC}" class="button icon-button <!-- IF S_IS_LOCKED -->locked-icon<!-- ELSE -->reply-icon<!-- ENDIF -->" title="<!-- IF S_IS_LOCKED -->{L_TOPIC_LOCKED}<!-- ELSE -->{L_POST_REPLY}<!-- ENDIF -->">
    <!-- IF S_IS_LOCKED -->{L_BUTTON_TOPIC_LOCKED}<!-- ELSE -->{L_BUTTON_POST_REPLY}<!-- ENDIF -->
</a>

AFTER ADD:

Code: Select all

<a href="{U_POST_NEW_TOPIC}" class="button icon-button <!-- IF S_IS_LOCKED -->locked-icon<!-- ELSE -->post-icon<!-- ENDIF -->" title="<!-- IF S_IS_LOCKED -->{L_FORUM_LOCKED}<!-- ELSE -->{L_POST_TOPIC}<!-- ENDIF -->">
    <!-- IF S_IS_LOCKED -->{L_BUTTON_FORUM_LOCKED}<!-- ELSE -->{L_BUTTON_NEW_TOPIC}<!-- ENDIF -->
</a>

@kmtruscott -- Thanks -- am slowly working on style (waiting for things to settle down) and I will do just that.

I certainly saves me the time to figure this out again.

Thanks again!

Sorry if I ask this, but... in which directory is the original "New Topic" ( and, i.e., "Post Reply" ) button and which is its file name?

Thanks

Hi
@cprgolds
Here is a Extension New Topic Button in Topic

[trandoductin]

Thanks for the adding code instruction.
Works great on my forums

There is a problem on both solutions provided. Users without permissions to create a topic will still see the New Topic button. How can I hide it if the user doesn't have permission to create a new topic?
