Another little plugin: topic buttons

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.

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.
