Broken Link in Nav button

[cmb7684]

I had VB 3.0.6 and Vbindex as the homepage running for my private site. I have now upgraded to VB 3.6.8 and VB advabced V3.0 Rc2. Everything is loaded and working good so far with a few minor issues I need to clean up. As for future reader I will post the other issue in its on topic thread. For ease of reading I renamed my cmps_index.php file to vbindex.php just to avoid having to redo links and the like that had already been transferred witht he vbulletin upgrade. Idid however delete the old vbindex file out first.

In this issue I had origianlly modified VB 3.0.6 with Vbindex. The modification was to the buttons at the top of the page where it says Home members list log out search etc. I had added either a home or forum button with the link to the corect page. The reason I say either is I dont remember which one wasnt there to begin with. I also dont remember what I did to add the button or make it work as it was a long time ago.


The issue Im having is now that everything has been upgraded and I have vbadvanced running, the forum button in that bar where the forum, calendar members list home log out etc. is linked to the home page instead of the forum main page. All the other links and buttons on the page work with the exception of that one. what do I need to do to make this forum button go to the forum page instead of the home page. The Home page button to the left of it works fine and just refreshes the home page when clicked. Also the buttons including the forum button in the Site Navigation Module work fine.

(Forum) button Here is an example of where it goes and where I need it to go.

Make sure the link to your forums is pointing to <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]">

Is this code for the butons located in the top bar where the log out and members list buttons are localted? where exactly is that code located or supposed to be placed?

I found the fix ..it was in the navbar code in the breadcrumps menu under style manager.

Here is the code I had first created and then changed in the navbar.

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="index.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[forum]</a></td>


I had actually had a bigger prblem that must have occured when upgrading from vb 3.0.6 to vb 3.6.8 that was all related. I had to set the navbar template back to the default code for VB 3.6.8. and then modify that code all over again. What I did was delete the code for the register button as I run a private site where they cannot enter unless registered so therefore I deleted that button in the navbar and then added a Home Page and Forum button to direct me to the forum home page and site homepage. Whatever problem happened while upgrading caused not only for the buttons in the navbar not to work but also the drop downs in multi page threads to quit working. This was all corrected by setting the code back to the default anf modifying the new code with mnor changes. Here is what the code looked like when I was done and all is working good.
