Changing the New Topic image

I'd like to change the default "New Topic" image to simply be text. What's the best way to do this?

Could you elaborate on what you meant by "simply be text"? Are you replacing the image with text or replacing the image with another image with just text on it?

[edit] first case, it might mess up your story text or something like
Topic
Content text

second case, you will have to create your own image files.

make a .gif to match your text and background and then overwrite "new topic" with new image. upload and update your site through system admin.

I want to switch from having an image that says "New Topic" to text saying "New Topic" (I don't want to create a new image).

The code renders the news by template file news_item.html
<div class="itemBody">
[color=d84848] <{$story.imglink}>[/color]
    <p class="itemText"><{$story.text}></p>
  </div>


If you want to replace <{$story.imglink}>, you would have to modify the index.php file and/or change the aforementioned template codes.

A question for you - the top title already has the topic name, why do you want to add another one in it?

Sorry if I'm not making myself clear:

I want to replace this code:

<a href="newtopic.php?forum=27"><img src="https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/images/post.gif"></a>

with this code:

<a href="newtopic.php?forum=27">New topic</a>

My reasoning being that I want my site to be as lightweight as possible and I don't see a reason why a "New topic" link should be displayed as an image. I'd rather it was a text link...

Now we are going somewhere. Sorry I didn't quite get what you want.

You will have to modify the following file

newbb/viewforum.php
$xoopsTpl->assign("forum_id", $forum);
if ( $can_post == 1 ) {
$xoopsTpl->assign('viewer_can_post', true);
$xoopsTpl->assign('forum_post_or_register', "<a href="newtopic.php?forum=".$forum."">
[color=d84848]<img src="".$bbImage['post']."" alt=""._MD_POSTNEW."" />[/color]</a>");
} else {
$xoopsTpl->assign('viewer_can_post', false);
if ( $show_reg == 1 ) {
$xoopsTpl->assign('forum_post_or_register', '<a href="'.XOOPS_URL.'/user.php?xoops_redirect=
'.htmlspecialchars($xoopsRequestUri).'">'._MD_REGTOPOST.'</a>');
    } else {
$xoopsTpl->assign('forum_post_or_register', "");
    }
}


replace the highlighted code with text New Topic

Backup the file first before you try to modify the file, so you have a file to fall back if something goes wrong.
