SMF 2.0.7 New Topic Link

[vbbanks]

I don't know if this is a strange request or not but here it goes ..
how can i edit the link to the " new topic " button?

I don't need to know why i want to do this .. i just want to know how i can do this

It's in /Themes/default/languages/index.english.php.

I don't want to change the name " New Topic " I want to change the link it goes to when you click the " New Topic " button

Ok, misread the question.  Will have to poke around a bit for that ........

It's in MessageIndex.template.php -

Code Select Expand



// Create the button set...
$normal_buttons = array(
'new_topic' => array('test' => 'can_post_new', 'text' => 'new_topic', 'image' => 'new_topic.gif', 'lang' => true, 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=post;board=' . $context['current_board'] . '.0', 'active' => true),



Simplest way is to substitute a direct url, like this -

Code Select Expand



// Create the button set...
$normal_buttons = array(
'new_topic' => array('test' => 'can_post_new', 'text' => 'new_topic', 'image' => 'new_topic.gif', 'lang' => true, 'url' => "http://www.simplemachines.org", 'active' => true),

This seems like the right place to make the change i want but i keep getting a :

Template Parse Error!
There was a problem loading the /Themes/default/MessageIndex.template.php template or language file. Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\). To see more specific error information from PHP, try accessing the file directly.

What's the exact code you're using there?

[Sir Osis of Liver]
