MyBB Community Forums

Hello,

I am currently trying to customize my forum, one of the functions I need is the ability to create new topic from the board index page. Create New Topic button will be on the Idex page.
*The New topic creation will do like
*Show create New Topic button ( just like the one in forumdisplay)
It will be shown to both guest and user, the guests will be asked to log in if they click on it.
* The users will chose topic category ( in drop down menu)before they will be redirected to new topic form.

I have thoroughly searched and there is no mod or resources for it here.
Help will be appreciated.
Thanks

I have seen this for sure but it's not what I am looking for, this will just add create topic button under the forums in the board index which is like the same thing the default is doing except it adds the button in the index page as well.
I am looking for the ability to add create topic button in the index page and then the users can select the thread category from the drop down men. Similar to what Vanilla is doing.
Thanks

Bump!

Anybody willing to do this even for a fee should send me pm.

^ you can try using new-thread plugin (assuming that you are not using Xthreads plugin)

It depends what you are looking for exactly; if all you want is to have the user select the category (aka forum) and then be taken to the new thread form it is just template edits. If you want the user to actually write the thread on the index page and then post it - then go with the new thread suggestion from .m

Thanks M and Leefish
Xthreads plugin is not what I am looking for, the nearest is the new-thread plugin but I want it to do something like this

* User click on Create New Thread
* It will load and tell the user to chose Thread Category ( which are valid created forums) in drop down list
* User will now be redirected to New Topic form.
Thanks.

Where do you want this create new thread button? If you want it all to work automatically you need a plugin; however, you can make it with template edits. Adding a button that on click opens a div with a dropdown list is possible. As it is template edits the select list would have to be hard-coded in the index template, so that is a pain if you have a lot of forums, but all very doable.

You add the href to the appropriate forum in the select list
