Hi everybody,

Here how to add a button to create a new thread from index page, please see screenshot:



1- Appearance > Styles > (YourStyle) > Templates

2- Search for Template: node_forum_level_2

3- Search for : <div class="nodeControls">

4- Add after:

<xen:if is="{xen:helper ismemberof, $visitor, X, Y, Z}">
            <a href="{xen:link forums/create-thread, $forum}" class="postnTopic" title="{xen:phrase post_new_thread}"></a>
</xen:if>

Note: X, Y, Z... are the number of users categories with permission to create new thread.

5- Go to EXTRA.css

Add at the begining:

.node .postnTopic {
background: transparent url('@imagePath/xenforo/xenforo-ui-sprite.png') no-repeat -64px -16px;
padding: 2px;
opacity: 0;
float: left;
width: 13px;
height: 13px;
margin-right: 9px;
display: block;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.node .nodeInfo:hover .postnTopic[href], .Touch .node .postnTopic{
    opacity: 1;
