I set the permissions so that normal registered users can't post in a certain forum. However, the new thread button is still there even though they can't post. How do I make it so the button is hidden?

Thats not possible without php file editing, if i'm not mistaken

Can't post in a certain forum ? That's the New Reply button ?

Open showthread.php
Find

		else
		{
			eval("\$newreply = \"".$templates->get("showthread_newreply")."\";");
		}

Replace by

		else if($forumpermissions['canpostreplys'] != "no")
		{
			eval("\$newreply = \"".$templates->get("showthread_newreply")."\";");
		}
		else
		{
			$newreply = "";
		}

That's what I want to do except with the new thread button.

Then add

$newthread = "";

into the code.

Thanks, it works

But I want to make it so the new thread button is hidden when they can't make new threads.

Sorry about all the questions, but I would also like to do this in the forumdisplay.php, too

-sighs-

First can't make new posts, hide new thread button =/ , then can't make new threads, hide new thread button ...

change that canpostsreplys to canpostthreads

Open forumdisplay.php
Find

if($foruminfo['type'] == "f" && $foruminfo['open'] != "no")
{
	eval("\$newthread = \"".$templates->get("forumdisplay_newthread")."\";");
}

Change into

if($foruminfo['type'] == "f" && $foruminfo['open'] != "no" && $fpermissions['canpostthreads'] != "no" )
{
	eval("\$newthread = \"".$templates->get("forumdisplay_newthread")."\";");
}

Yeah, I tried that before and it didn't work. It makes both buttons disappear.

Probably because you have

$newthread = "";
$newreply = "";

Remove that $newreply = "";

I tried

		else if($forumpermissions['canpostthreads'] != "no")
		{
			eval("\$newreply = \"".$templates->get("showthread_newreply")."\";");
		}
		else
		{
			$newthread = "";
		}

and

		else if($forumpermissions['canpostthreads'] != "no")
		{
			eval("\$newthread = \"".$templates->get("showthread_newthread")."\";");
		}
		else
		{
			$newthread = "";
		}

They both make both buttons disappear. Changing canpostreplys to canpostthreads makes the new reply button disappear no matter what the permissions are set. I don't want the new reply button to disappear, just the new threads button
