Change link to "Post new thread"

[enthusify]

I think this'll work. Edit the FORUMDISPLAY template, find:

<a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}"

Replace with:

<a href="<vb:if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 5">http://www.youurlhere.com/<vb:else />{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}</vb:if>"

This appears multiple times. Replace 5 with the appropriate forumid and the URL with the URL you want to use.

I just did this and it works. Thanks guys!

My oh my this is so much easier then what I was doing thank you

[JabirA]

I fixed it now! The problem is that I didn't reverted the changes I made in the begin. I am sorry if causing confusion!
Thank you again very much for the help. You guys are the best!

Kind regards

Wait!

@Matthew Gordon

This works only for the second button. The first button still creates a new thread.

[JabirA]

omdl thanks for the catch! I was thinking reply to thread not post new thread .



So try this then instead:

<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="<vb:if condition="$thread['forumid'] == 9">http://www.yourreplacmenturlhere.com<vb:else />{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}</vb:if>" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a></vb:if>

And revert the changes made to SHOWTHREAD respectively .

I think this'll work. Edit the FORUMDISPLAY template, find:

<a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}"

Replace with:

<a href="<vb:if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 5">http://www.youurlhere.com/<vb:else />{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}</vb:if>"

This appears multiple times. Replace 5 with the appropriate forumid and the URL with the URL you want to use.

Both solutions didn't work. :S
I am very confused right now. How is this possible?

Try this. At the FORUMDISPLAY template find the following code:

<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a></vb:if>

And change it to:

<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">
<a href="http://www.redireclink.com" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top">
<span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a></vb:if>

And replace the example link with the link where you want to redirect the Post New Thread button when clicked upon.

omdl thanks for the catch! I was thinking reply to thread not post new thread .

@Borbole: I want this modification only in a specific forum. How do do I accomplish that?

So try this then instead:

<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="<vb:if condition="$thread['forumid'] == 9">http://www.yourreplacmenturlhere.com<vb:else />{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}</vb:if>" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a></vb:if>

[JabirA]

Thank you. I will look into it

I do not have much free time atm to look further into this. Here you have a list of conditionals. Give it a try yourself.

Didn't work! I tried it twice.

Try this. At the FORUMDISPLAY template find the following code:

<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}newthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=newthread&amp;f={vb:raw foruminfo.forumid}" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a></vb:if>

And change it to:

<vb:if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">
<a href="http://www.redireclink.com" rel="nofollow" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newthreadlink_top">
<span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase post_new_thread}</a></vb:if>

Hello,

Does someone know how to change the link "Post new thread" to link to another page. If yes is it possible to do this for a specific forum?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

You should be able to edit template SHOWTHREAD and find:

    <div id="above_postlist" class="above_postlist">
        <vb:if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
            <a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}&amp;noquote=1" class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newreplylink_top"><vb:if condition="$show['closethread']"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase reply_to_thread}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase closed_thread}</vb:if></a>
            <img style="display:none" id="progress_newreplylink_top" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/progress.gif" alt="" />
        </vb:if>

AND:

<div id="below_postlist" class="<vb:if condition="!$show['inlinemod']">noinlinemod </vb:if>below_postlist">
    <vb:if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
        <a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}newreply.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}&amp;noquote=1"class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newreplylink_bottom"><vb:if condition="$show['closethread']"><span>+</span> {vb:rawphrase reply_to_thread}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase closed_thread}</vb:if></a>
    </vb:if>

Replace with:

    <div id="above_postlist" class="above_postlist">
        <vb:if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
            <a href="<vb:if condition="$thread['forumid'] == 9">http://www.yourreplacmenturlhere.com<vb:else />{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if  "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}newreply.php?{vb:raw  session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw LASTPOSTID}&amp;noquote=1</vb:if>"  class="newcontent_textcontrol" id="newreplylink_top"><vb:if  condition="$show['closethread']"><span>+</span>  {vb:rawphrase reply_to_thread}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase  closed_thread}</vb:if></a>
            <img style="display:none" id="progress_newreplylink_top"  src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/progress.gif" alt="" />
        </vb:if>

AND:

<div id="below_postlist" class="<vb:if condition="!$show['inlinemod']">noinlinemod </vb:if>below_postlist">
    <vb:if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
        <a href="<vb:if condition="$thread['forumid'] == 9">http://www.yourreplacmenturlhere.com<vb:else />{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if  "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}newreply.php?{vb:raw  session.sessionurl}p={vb:raw  LASTPOSTID}&amp;noquote=1</vb:if>"class="newcontent_textcontrol"  id="newreplylink_bottom"><vb:if  condition="$show['closethread']"><span>+</span>  {vb:rawphrase reply_to_thread}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase  closed_thread}</vb:if></a>
    </vb:if>

Replacing the 9 in the added code w/ the forumid this change of the button will take place in .
