Wezley Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Hello, how do I display the "Start New Topic" button for everyone? Not just logged-in users. Also, I was like to also change its text from "Start New Topic" to something like "Ask a Question", then change "Submit Topic" to "Submit Question" and change "Reply to Topic" to "Reply to Question". Thanks, Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meddysong Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 If a user has permission to create a topic ("Post New Topic", then they'll see the button. You'll have to change the permissions in the control panel otherwise. Go to the relevant forum in the ACP and then click on the down arrow on the right of its name. You'll find permissions as one of the options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, I use a Questions type forum as a wishlist, so Id like the button to read "Make a Wish" rather than "Ask a Question" but still keep the forum the Questions type.

However it falls short in my weird case as there are other Question subforums where "Ask a Question" would need to be left alone as it is already correct. Is it possible to apply a translation only to a specific subforum? that may let me get away with the above trick. I took a look at the forum settings but havent found anything.

Meddysong Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Ah, no, that wouldn't be possible. That text is determined by a language string in the template. All we're doing here is changing what that language string displays. It's an all-or-nothing approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Here's a possible starting point that could be fleshed out a bit more... <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> a[href$="http://localhost/ips_42/index.php?/startTopic/"] { color: transparent; } a[href$="http://localhost/ips_42/index.php?/startTopic/"]:after { content: "Make a wish"; color:blue; } </style> </head> <body> <a class="ipsButton ipsButton_medium ipsButton_important" href="http://localhost/ips_42/index.php?/startTopic/" data-ipsdialog data-ipsdialog-size="narrow" data-ipsdialog-title="Select Forum">Start new topic</a> </body> </html> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
