I don't use the XOOPS main menu block and I want the News module submit link to display at the top of the news pages and visible only for each group permitted to submit(just as it functions now in the main menu).

I searched the site for an hour and didn't find any post with a solution. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Personally, I hack most of the modules' templates and put submit buttons on them. News included. For example: I want a button to submit news on the top of my main news page. I would edit: modules/news/templates/news_index.html

Wherever I want the button I would add this:

<FORM METHOD='LINK' ACTION='<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/submit.php'>
<INPUT TYPE='submit' VALUE='Add Your News'>
FORM><br><br><small>[You must be a <a href=<{$xoops_url}>/register.php>registered usera> to post news... It's FREE.]


This shows the button to everyone, but gives the register link and a notice that you must be registered.

Now, I have never tried it, but this should work to show it only to registered users and webmasters:

<{if !$xoops_isuser}>
    
    You must be a <a href="<{$xoops_url}>/register.php">registered usera> to post news.
    <{else}>
    <FORM METHOD='LINK' ACTION='<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/submit.php'>
<INPUT TYPE='submit' VALUE='Add Your News'>FORM>
    
    <{/if}>


I haven't tested it, but it should work.

Correction: it works fine.

Add this lines before the end of index.php:
//start
$groups = is_object($xoopsUser) ? $xoopsUser->getGroups() : XOOPS_GROUP_ANONYMOUS;
$gperm_handler =& xoops_gethandler('groupperm');
if ($gperm_handler->checkRight('news_submit', 0, $groups, $xoopsModule->getVar('mid'))) {
    $perm = 1;
} else {
    $perm = 0;
}
$xoopsTpl->assign('perm', $perm);
//end

include_once XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/footer.php';
?>


Then you could use preachur code with a small change.
(Use the following code in news_index.html and news_by_topic.html)
<{if !$perm}>
    You must be a <a href="<{$xoops_url}>/register.php">registered usera> to post news.
<{else}>
    <FORM METHOD='LINK' ACTION='<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/submit.php'>
<INPUT TYPE='submit' VALUE='Add Your News'>FORM>
<{/if}>


I made this changes because XOOPS user might not have previlege for submit news.

PS: Not tested it but it should work

trabis the method you suggest is exactly what I need however when I apply it I get the following error
Quote:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getVar() on a non-object in /home/icinc/public_html/index.php on line 48


The strange thing is that all subsequent pages work fine.

This is how my index.php file is written
include "mainfile.php";

//check if start page is defined
if ( isset($xoopsConfig['startpage']) && $xoopsConfig['startpage'] != "" && $xoopsConfig['startpage'] != "--" ) {
    header('Location: '.XOOPS_URL.'/modules/'.$xoopsConfig['startpage'].'/');
    exit();
} else {
    $xoopsOption['show_cblock'] =1;
    include "header.php";
    $xoopsTpl->assign( 'is_homepage',true);
    
    $groups = is_object($xoopsUser) ? $xoopsUser->getGroups() : XOOPS_GROUP_ANONYMOUS; 
    $gperm_handler =& xoops_gethandler('groupperm'); 
    if ($gperm_handler->checkRight('news_submit', 0, $groups, $xoopsModule->getVar('mid'))) { 
    $perm = 1; 
    } else { 
    $perm = 0; 
    } 
    $xoopsTpl->assign('perm', $perm);

    include "footer.php";
}
?>

trabis, it works perfectly... thanks. I should have given thought to applying it to the news/index.php.
