Title: Another little plugin: topic buttons
Post by: Arantor on March 20th, 2012, 01:44 AM
Eh, I wanted to do a quick plugin that could be used to demonstrate menu manipulation in the message and display areas.

Really simple to perform, it's taken me about 20 minutes start to finish, including changing how I did it part way through because I found it cleaner in the end :P

The screenshots should speak for themselves: for guests, they get a nice little 'register to post' link in the normal navigation menu, for normal members, they get a 'new topic' button next to the reply button.

Simple tweaks, but it's a nice enough little demonstration.


Naturally when Wedge is available for download, this little one will be as well, but there's not a lot of point my offering it now, you can't do a lot with it.

I like this. To me it is a better way to get users to sign up then the banners you see on vb for guests.

Oh, I'll probably make banners too, so that people have the choice, plus those would demonstrate how to add new items to the template skeleton.

Hi, just wondering if this plugin is available to test?

Well, it's not published anywhere at this time. I'll need to double check the code before I release it.

How are you manipulating the menus? Hook on display_main and manipulating nav_buttons?

I think that's what I did, yeah.

Cool, was just confirming. Did the same.
