Remove buttons in a "Locked Topic"

[Chas Large]

I have a mod installed on 1.1.9 which places the REPLY button in every post. This is very useful. However the button remains when the topic is locked and generates an error if clicked.

The Mod writer is unable to help me fix the mod and does not seem to know how the Locked Topic feature removed buttons.

Can anyone please explain or push me in the direction of a topic/post/tutorial that I can read to find out how the Locked Topic feature works so that I can modify the code to remove this button in a locked topic. I really don't want to remove the mod and am interested in producing mods of my own.

Any guidance gratefully received.

I'll need to see a link to your site as well as a link to the mod, this way I can give you the necessary code changes to check if a topic is locked before displaying the reply button.

OK. Here is a Public access board on my test and development forum. I've created some posts and locked the topic so you can see the reply button is there on each post.

The other button I wanted to remove was the PRINT button though really just to learn how these buttons are created and displayed.

Thanks

Many thanks for that [n3rve]. It worked fine when editing the display.template.php. I have learned something today.
