Hi - I'm trying to add a "Start New Tthread" option to the admin options.

I wasn't quite sure how to do this. I tried modifying the forumdisplay_adminoptions template to include the following item:


<option value="newthread&forumid=$foruminfo[forumid]">Start New Thread</option>


This seems to add the item to the menu properly, but selecting the item doesn't take one to the "Pos New Page" area. How can this be fixed?

I believe this requires hacking the moderator.php file. Ask over at vbulletin.org.

Steve's right, but you modify postings.php ;)

Why do you want to add that to the admin options anyway?

I have a forum in which only admins can post, and I want to make the display as visually simple as possible. I also don't want to present users with options they can't use. So I figured I'd put the "new thread" option in the admin options. That way only admins would see it. I am certainly open to other ways of accomplishing the same thing.
