Newthread.gif

FORUMDISPLAY

I have been trying to omit the newthread.gif button in forum ID:17 with no success.


<td class="smallfont"><if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a><else />&nbsp;</if></td>



This conditional places a text link above the newthread.gif in forum ID:17

<if condition="$forumid == 17">
<a href="http://www.website.ca/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=3"><font size=3><b>Post an Ad</font></a> </if>

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Normally you would just make the forum into a category by disabling this:

Admin CP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager -> Edit Forum -> Act as Forum

Categories have no thread listing or new thread button.

Thx Jake, but I would still like members to be able to post new threads...but only through the Easy forms template. The Post an AD link in the screenshot goes to the easy form which then posts as a new thread when submitted.

I am trying to figure out how to omit the Newthread.gif in forum ID:17 with a conditional. I understand it would be considered editing code and beyond support but was hoping some saavy vb coders might have a suggestion.

should work.. .

<td class="smallfont">
    <if condition="$forumid == 17">
<a href="http://www.website.ca/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=3"><font size=3><b>Post an Ad</font></a>
    <else />
<if condition="$show['newthreadlink']"><a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a><else />&nbsp;</if></td>
    </if>
</td>

if condition is : <if condition="$forumid == 17"
if condition is not : <if condition="!$forumid == 17

Try and see if it works:

<td class="smallfont">
    <if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 17">
        <a href="http://www.website.ca/forum/misc.php?do=form&amp;fid=3" style="font-size:14px">
            <b>Post an Ad</b>
        </a>
    <else />
        <if condition="$show['newthreadlink']">
            <a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]" rel="nofollow">
                <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" />
            </a>
        <else />
            &nbsp;
        </if>
    </if>
</td>

EDIT: Kennethj beat me to it. :|

Thanks guys

I managed to add multiple forums...had some trouble until I realized that the (6) </if> belong at the end and not after each <else />

<td class="smallfont">
<if condition="$forumid == 37">
<a href="http://www.website.ca/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=1"><font size=3><b>Post an AD</font></a>
<else />
<td class="smallfont">
<if condition="$forumid == 50">
<a href="http://www.website.ca/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=2"><font size=3><b>Post an AD</font></a>
<else />
<if condition="$forumid == 17">
<a href="http://www.website.ca/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=3"><font size=3><b>Post an AD</font></a>
<else />
<td class="smallfont">
<if condition="$forumid == 41">
<a href="http://www.website.ca/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=6"><font size=3><b>Post an AD</font></a>
<else />
<if condition="$forumid == 94">
<a href="http://www.website.ca/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=4"><font size=3><b>Post an AD</font></a>
<else />
<td class="smallfont">
<if condition="$forumid == 122">
<a href="http://www.website.ca/forum/misc.php?do=form&fid=7"><font size=3><b>Post an AD</font></a>
<else />

Yeah. It can get real messy with those nested <if>'s
when a single <elseif> would've kept the nesting level down and made the code easier to read.

ElseIf will be there in vB4. For good.
