XF 1.3 Hiding "Post New thread" button for selected forums

[sinful]

What is the best way to the "Post New thread" button for selected forums?

Thanks!

I used Usergroup permissions .

You can also do it with a template conditional.

Edit the forum_view template

find

<a href="{xen:link 'forums/create-thread', $forum}" class="callToAction"><span>{xen:phrase post_new_thread}</span></a>

replace the above

<xen:if is="!in_array({$forum.node_id}, array(5,7,16))">
<a href="{xen:link 'forums/create-thread', $forum}" class="callToAction"><span>{xen:phrase post_new_thread}</span></a>
</xen:if>

Change the node IDs to the forums you do not want to see the button

array(5,7,16)

I used Usergroup permissions .

only issue with this is the "(You have insufficient privileges to post here.)" text gonna be appearing at the bottom of that forum.

Surely that is desirable?
Otherwise members are going to wonder why the post new thread button doesn't appear.

If I visited a site which hid the button using a conditional statement, I would report it as a bug.

i created several forms that which has that forum as a destination, and added my own buttons to the forms on that forum.

i prefer users to use the forms instead of the default new thread template.
