Edit the options available to select on each post (Edit, Announce, Sink...)

kirkpa31

How can I edit the options available to select on each post on that options drop down button providing me with the current options of Edit, Announce, Sink, Close, or Delete. For example, I am interested in removing some of these and adding an "Answered" button.

I ask this because I see the word "Answered" along the bottom of many posts on the community forum page. Please let me know what I need to do to make this happen! Thanks!

they use the Q&A plugin I believe

Worked perfectly, but I do have a follow up question: is it possible to now eliminate the option to "start a new discussion" and only have "ask a question" available?

you can add this to the config.php

$Configuration['Garden']['Vanilla.DefaultNewButton'] = "post/question";

you can style the buttons later.

You can hide the New discussion button with CSS so it is not shown. Or you can change the name of the New Discussion Button to Questions in the locale

ad this

$Definition['Start a New Discussion']="Ask a new Question';

Thank you vrijvlinder. this is my first website if you were unable to tell so far and I'm having trouble figuring out how to edit the CSS of the site. I've located the config.php file within my File Manager public_html and added the code you've posted in the previous post, but I do not know where or how to edit the style of the pages.

I'm sure it is simple and I am just looking in the wrong place, hopefully you are able to point me in the right direction.

your theme / design / add a new file called custom.css

edit custom.css and save.

The forum automatically picks up your new css file.

You are welcome !

You should download a few themes and try them out. That way you can see what can be done with them. Don't be afraid, CSS is the best and it is very friendly. Stick to changing colors before you attempt changing the layouts.
