Forum Jump on portal

[Chris Blount]

Sorry if this is a stupid question (and yes, I did do a search) but I have been having a heck of a time trying to add a forum jump on my VBAdvanced portal. I tried placing $forumjump in various places in the main template with no success. Am I missing a step?

Thanks for the help.

[Drago912]

place this code in your navbar template:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="YOUR SITE URL/forum/index.php?$session[sessionurl]">Forum</a></td>

This will add a forum link at the top in your navbar.

Thanks for the response but that's not what I'm asking. I would like to place an actual forum jump on the portal. It's the dropdown list that shows all forums and gives the user the ability to select which forum to go to directly. I tried the forum list module but we have too many forums to use that.

[Drago912]

oh crap....sorry bout that I misread your post.........IM not sure how to do that....sorry.

Look in your includes/vba_cmps_inlcude_bottom.php file for this code:
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('adv_portal') . '");');

Add this right above it:
construct_forum_jump();

And then you should be able to add the variable $forumjump somewhere in your adv_portal template.

Thanks for the help. That didn't seem to work. Any ideas?

[CheapyD]

I'm looking for this too...

[G3MM4]

Yes, I'm looking for this as well, if anyone can provide a solution.

[Zachery]

Did anyone try brians suggestion?

[G3MM4]

Someone did, and they said it didn't work. Will try it on mine anyway to see for myself.

[G3MM4]

Nope. It doesn't work for some reason. I followed Brian's suggestion (for some reason the code he put didn't match but I did a partial Find and Replace search).

Here's my file content, hopefully I put the code in the right place:

I know this is an older post - but did anyone ever come up with a solution?

[utw-Mephisto]

I wish .. I was also looking for a forumjump ..

Maybe I'll ask on vb.com how to move it .. once I know this we might be able to get it on vba too ..

[utw-Mephisto]

ok, found it ..

I installed this plugin :

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=118994

And changed the hook to global_start

The you can use $forumstart anywhere on the forum, also in the portal ..

[chrisj8221]

thanks - will try that tonight!
