Beautiful. Thanks!

[pushpullba]

for some reason the forum/home link is not available when not logged in but only works when you are logged in

Sounds like you have it inside one of the IF statements that checks to see if a user is logged in. Move it outside that IF.

thanks, i will check

how about this? Trying to make sense of it all

[mholtum]

Looks like that should be fine

[pushpullba]

except i don't know what to do with the <if> business...

<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index'"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$vboptions[forumhome].php $session[sessionurl]"> Forums <else /> <a href="$vboptions[homeurl] $session[sessionurl]"> Front Page </if></a></td>
</if>

do i just get rid of the <if condition="$show['member']"> bits?

[mholtum]

Find:

<!-- nav buttons bar -->
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">
<tr align="center">

Under that place:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'adv_index'">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$vboptions[homeurl]?$session[sessionurl]">Home</a></td>
</if>
<if condition="defined('VBA_SCRIPT')">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]">Forums</a></td>
</if>


That should do it.

[pushpullba]

ok, thanks... i have deleted the <if members> clause and that seems to have worked. I hope in doing so, i haven't stuffed things up.

[mholtum]

ok, thanks... i have deleted the <if members> clause and that seems to have worked. I hope in doing so, i haven't stuffed things up.The <if members> clause is what is restricting it to logged in members, I would assume.

[pushpullba]

ok, for some reason, now that i have that working, i don't have the usercp there anymore.... :(

please take a look

[mholtum]

You probably removed it when you deleted some of that <if members> code. Revert the navbar template back to the original template. (by highlighting it and clicking revert) then try again.

[pushpullba]

thanks a million, all sorted, you guys rock here!
:not worthy:

[mholtum]

Glad to help

I looked at the link that Brian posted; however, I don't know where that file is located. I'm sure its easy to find, but it doens't say anything about the directory.

I looked at the link that Brian posted; however, I don't know where that file is located. I'm sure its easy to find, but it doens't say anything about the directory.

If you mean the link to Zachery's post, it isn't a file, it's a vBulletin template. The navbar template.

[mholtum]

I don't get it.

Which template do I modify? I see three of them, are those slashes like different menu options and further choices within that menu?

Sorry :(
1: log into your admincp
2: On the left side you will see Styles & Templates click Style Manager.
3: You will see a list of your styles in the dropdown choose "Edit Templates"
4: Scroll down to you see Navigation & Breadcrumbs. Double click it
5: You will now see Navbar & Navbar_links
6: Choose navbar

[GamingVidz.com]

Ok, I found that code, but the problem I'm having is that I used a template from this place, so the coding is different in the navbar place.

In other words, where it says find this code:

<!--<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]">Home</a></td>-->

And replace with

<td class="vbmenu_control"><if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index'"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]"> Forums <else /> <a href="$vboptions[homeurl]?$session[sessionurl]"> Home </if></a></td>

I can find two spots where it could be, but the code is different from what is above. Like where the code ends and then the word is defined "Home." I don't have that. The closest thing I have is this:

<td width="100%"><span class="navbar"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]" accesskey="1">$vboptions[bbtitle]</a></span> $navbits[breadcrumb]</td>

And the only other option is this, but I don't think this is the spot:

<div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]" accesskey="1"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></div

Do you think this is because I have images for my links? (at least I think they're images)

Thanks again for the help guys.

Yah I just looked I think that since I have images this code might not work unless I make another image for forum and then use the code above somehow to switch an image for another image. But I don't know code and don't think I know how to do it. All I think I can do is simply add another image :(

Unless someone knows how to fix what I have.

[mholtum]

Post your navbar template here and I will edit it for you if you want..

But shouldn't I post an image for forum? Because aren't you going to make the code replace the image based on where you are at?

[mholtum]

your entire navbar script

[GamingVidz.com]

Heh, I tried to edit post before you saw my reply, but there is the section you'll need I believe let me know if you need something else.

Also, man I think that something is messed up with my install of vBadvanced, as I don't have access to like anything for it. The only way I have access is by knowing the full url to the location. How can I fix that?

[mholtum]

thats your entire navbar template?
It should have much more than that.. Can you make me an admin so I can take a look

[mholtum]

Now I know why, I just looked at your site. The creators of the skin have your links in the header template. You will need to create buttons with the psd files they gave you and insert them into the header template

[GamingVidz.com]

;) What do you mean the creators...

I made it...

Heh, anyway, so should I just screw the alternating images or after I put in the image do you think you'd be able to make it work?

Lemme know, thanks

[mholtum]

sure looks like an extremepixels theme. But whatever. Get the images in there and I am sure we can get it to work

[GamingVidz.com]

Heh, well its hard to make jokes while typing. Yes it is from them. I have the new images and sliced em and all, but which php file should I go to in order to fix them?

[mholtum]

fix them? what do you mean?
You will insert them in the header template.

[GamingVidz.com]

Header template, ok, I'll check that out when I'm off work (on lunch now).
