vB, vBa, links integration

[Giray]

Hi.
Running vB 3.0.3.
Installed CMPS.
Bought Links Directory.

All installed fine. All seem to be working fine.

How do I link them all together?

Found, on the forum, how to install the Home << >> Forum combo in the navbar.

Have not found how to:

Incorporate the Links (as a module) into CMPS.
Place a link from Links back to the Forum
Place a link from the Forum to Links


But so far, I love what I see.

Me again.

What would actually be great, I think, is if we could replace this section of the navbar:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index'"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]?$session[sessionurl]"> Forums <else /> <a href="$vboptions[homeurl]?$session[sessionurl]"> Home </if></a></td> ...with a pull down menu like "Quick Links". In that menu, one would find a link, in my case, to:

Home (the portal)
Forums
Links

Is this an easy write? I'll try, while waiting for a response. If you hear someone sobbing, it's me. :eek:

Replace the code you just posted above with this:
<td id="navbar_mainlinks" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#top">Site Links</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_mainlinks"); </script></td>


Then look for:
<!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->

And right below that, add this:
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_mainlinks_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">

<tr><td class="thead">Site Links</td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[homeurl]">Home</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]">Forum</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="/links/">Links</a></td></tr>
</table>
</div>


And that should do the trick. :)

Brian,
Very elegant solution, thank you.
Quick question. Considering you author both links and advanced, why is there no evident integration between the two (or the three with vB)? Or did I miss it somewhere?

Also, how difficult is it to include top links (as with forums) into advanced as a module?

Thanks
Giray

Check the hacks sub-forum under the Links Directory forums. ;)

Replace the code you just posted above with this ...
And that should do the trick. :)
:cool: I think I have a use for that also (not necessarily the same links, but the concept at least).

Thanks

Brian.
Which is the right procedure?

Thanks.

The first will integrate the CMPS with your links directory (see http://edmplanet.com/links for an example). The second will add a module to your CMPS pages.

Thanks. Trying it now.

Done, thanks.
Any idea why I have the space above the first link? Tried to look at the code but could not see an extra <br> or anything?

Thanks Brian and the rest of you...
