XF 1.4 Change text on Post New Thread button?

[DaveL]

Is it possible or is there a modification available that will you allow you to change the next on the 'Post New Thread' button in selected forums?

You may be able to use conditional statements: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/conditional-statements.1604/

Ok,
Ive managed to change the top "Post New Thread" button in a selected forum using a conditional, however im struggling with the bottom one.

This is the code im using to change the top "Post New Thread"

<xen:if is="{$canPostThread}">
    <xen:set var="$newDiscussionButton"><a href="{xen:link 'forums/create-thread', $forum}" class="callToAction"><span>{xen:phrase post_new_thread}</span></a></xen:set>
    <xen:if is="!{$renderedNodes}">
        <xen:topctrl>{xen:raw $newDiscussionButton}</xen:topctrl>
    </xen:if>
</xen:if>
<xen:if is="{$forum.node_id} == 35">
<xen:if is="{$canPostThread}">
    <xen:set var="$newDiscussionButton"><a href="{xen:link 'forums/create-thread', $forum}" class="callToAction"><span>{xen:phrase post_launch_thread}</span></a></xen:set>
    <xen:if is="!{$renderedNodes}">
        <xen:topctrl>{xen:raw $newDiscussionButton}</xen:topctrl>
    </xen:if>
</xen:if>
</xen:if>

Can anyone advise where I would add my conditional into the code below for the bottom button? Ive tried a variety of ways but not having much luck!

<xen:if is="{$canPostThread}">
            <a href="{xen:link 'forums/create-thread', $forum}" class="callToAction"><span>{xen:phrase post_new_thread}</span></a>
           
        <xen:elseif is="{$visitor.user_id}" />
            <span class="element">({xen:phrase no_permission_to_post})</span>
        <xen:else />
            <label for="LoginControl"><a href="{xen:link login}" class="<xen:if is="@xb_login_overlay OR @xb_alt_login">OverlayTrigger </xen:if>concealed element">({xen:phrase log_in_or_sign_up_to_post})</a></label>
        </xen:if>
       
    </div>

We do it on our site, in support tickets it's "Create new ticket" others it's the regular:

template: forum_view
Find:

{xen:phrase post_new_thread}

Replace with:

<xen:if is="{$forum.node_id} == 2">Create new ticket<xen:else />{xen:phrase post_new_thread}</xen:if>

Do it on both instances of the {xenhrase post_new_thread} **

Thanks Russ, that looks a lot easier and tidier!

Hi Russ,

How to make this change for all the forums? Thanks!

Edit the post_new_thread phrase text.

This is now possible with this free add-on: Beta - Change "Post New Thread" Button (per forum)

And I confirm it works brilliantly.

Anyone know how to add this to the submit "Post Thread" line? I'm on XF2 BTW.

Here's what I have and it's not working...

<xf:submitrow submit="<xf:if is='{$forum.node_id} == 116'>Create Ticket<xf:else />{{ phrase('post_thread') }}</xf:if>" icon="write" sticky="true">
