Adding a custom button in postbit template

[tomydamic68]

Hello,
not even sure if it's the right template, I would like to add a "subscribe to thread" button next to the edit button - To the left side of it. Any help? Thanks in advance!

You would need a button making obviously. Upload this to your style's /buttons directory. Call it something like subscribe_postbit.gif

Then find this code in the template postbit_legacy:

<if condition="$post['editlink']">

Add above:

<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addsubscription&amp;t=$post[threadid]" rel="nofollow""><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/subscribe_postbit.gif" alt="$vbphrase[subscribe_to_this_thread]" border="0" /></a>

The problem you'll have here, is that the link won't be dynamic - it will show the subscribe link even if the user is already subscribed to the thread. There's no way round that without custom coding.

Note you should use $post[threadid] not $threadid

<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addsubscription&amp;t=[B]$post[threadid][/B]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/subscribe_postbit.gif" border="0" /></a>

Yes, I just changed that actually, forgot to edit the code despite having gone to the trouble of actually testing the variable worked.
