XF 1.3 'Post new thread' button

[KVMG]

On a forum, the button appears both at the top (to the right of the breadcrumbs) and at the bottom of the thread list as well. Excellent.

On a page listing sub-forums, however (http://hc.kvmgalore.com/index.php?forums/ASK/) the button appears only at the bottom of the list.

How can I have the 'Post new thread' button also appear at the top of this page (to the right of the breadcrumbs)?

Duplicate what is in the forum_view template on the default style on your style (if it's a custom?), specifically the topctrl section?

<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>

My style is not custom - I'm using the Default Style.

This is just a quick test but you could try this:

forum_view

Find:

<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>

Remove the conditional:

<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:topctrl>{xen:raw $newDiscussionButton}</xen:topctrl>
</xen:if>

Then it'll have two buttons(original location and the breadcrumb)

add to extra.css:

.nodeListNewDiscussionButton
{
   display: none;
}

There's probably a better way of doing it, and honestly my way could have an adverse effect however it appears to be working fine.

Thanks! I'll check it out and let you know.

I've implemented this and it appears to do the job.

I haven't come across any adverse effects yet.

Thanks!!!

Thanks @Russ

Why does the button render differently when there are sub-nodes?
