Discussion Threads Requested Here
Estimated Time: ~5 minutes [Any questions? This thread only please
]
What is it: Adds a button in the new thread creation that will auto-create a discussion thread. Useful for posting in a forum that is locked to normal users and gives them a place to discuss it.
Options: Global ON/OFF, Start Forum, End Forum, Allow Discussion Thread creation by usergroup or user, text to addon to the original thread, text to add before or after Discussion Thread title, and starting text in the new Discussion Thread. (SEE IMAGES)
Images:
Possible Changes: using the vboptions instead of a seperate (kinda sloppy) page to set the values. I dislike vboptions, but anyone can feel free to do this!
Also, multiple usergroups and users instead of just a single (not too hard) ANYONE IS FREE TO CHANGE THIS OR MAKE IT BETTER!
// ###### INSTALLATION ######
Currently, I'm storing the data in a row on the adminutil table (it's kinda empty).
You can run the attached file (discussion_maker_install.php) from your admin directory, or just run this vB query for initial setup:
OR this SQL query (not tested)
// ###### SETUP ######
Place the attached file (discussion_maker.php) into your admin directory.

OPTIONAL: If you want a link to it from your admin panel; in your admin index.php find:
Add AFTER:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
In your newthread template, add "$discussion_maker" (without quotes) wherever you want it to show up in the template. (as long as it's inside the <form> tags)

In newthread.php, find:
Add AFTER:
// =======================
DONE! Make sure you configure the setup in discussion_maker.php. Tell me if there's any problems; it's possible I missed something in the instructions. This hack has been tested and does work~ Use at your own risk! (I'm not responsible, etc etc)
