Adding "Forum" and "Home" to the Navbar

[toejam]

Is there a way or a link that shows how to change navigation items. I want to delete USER CP and faq and put in Home and Forums. Heres my template;

Thanks for any help.

<!-- / breadcrumb, login, pm info -->

<!-- nav buttons bar -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">
<tr align="center">
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>
</if>
<if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[register]</a></td>
</if>
$template_hook[navbar_buttons_left]
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[faq]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>
<if condition="$show['popups']">
<if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>

If you search the hacks forum here, there are at least a few different threads with instructions for this.

I looked at every one, and i couldn't make any sense on what to do.

Thats a hack that isnt what Iam looking to do.

Thank you, thats what I needed. I got the forum button on there, it took some time but I got it. Now I need to delete usercp and add home. VB should have more options with the navigation bar.

I got it, in case anybody needs the code

<!-- / breadcrumb, login, pm info -->

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

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href=""http://www.dentallabnetwork.com?"> Home </a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="forums.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[forums]</a></td>


<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>
</if>
<if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[register]</a></td>
</if>
$template_hook[navbar_buttons_left]

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

<if condition="$show['popups']">
<if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>
<else />

Suggestion: Instead of having both Home & Forums on the navbar at the same time use a conditional to switch between the two dynamically.

I will try that. I love your site coolscifi. Do you know how to find different background colors, I am looking for a darker blue like the vbulletin.org or CinVin.com

I took a look at your site... a nice clean look to it. What part of it do want to make a different color?

[toejam]

The blue that I have for the background. It was a vb style color that had a url attached to it. I think a little darker would look better or a color that fades. Your SinVin background looks awesome. Plus I need a header that has a professional look to it. I made whats there with paint in windows. I thought about asking in paid services for a little help.

This mod is good also...but what i did to my site is also the other way...coz' i said to myself..why do i need two word on my navbar? like Home and Forums...so i did like this...if i or the members are on Portal Page which is my Homepage...they can see/click only the Forums to my navbar (left) which a direct link to my forum...the other way also...if they are on my Forum Page...they can see/click only to my navbar the word Home which is the direct link to my portal...meaning auto-change...

No Image

<td class="vbmenu_control"><if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index'"><a href="http://yoursite.com/index.php"> Forums <else /> <a href="http://yoursite.com/"> Home </if></a></td>

With Image

<td align="left" valign="top" width="90" height="55"><if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index'"><a href="http://yoursite.com/index.php"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/nav_forums.gif" border="0" alt="" /><else /><a href="http://yoursite.com/"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/nav_home.gif"  border="0" alt="" /></if></a></td>

best regards to all....

I love this thing. Question though.

I have it running on my site and wanted to make it so my photopost page says "forum" when you are looking at it up there.

the THIS_SCRIPT for Photopost is ppindex

Is there a way to add that conditional to the code above?

[KW802]

Towermatt,

PhotoPost Pro or PhotoPost vBGallery?

[towermatt]

Ooops--sorry about that. It is the PhotoPost Pro--and I have not upgraded to the new version yet.

Thanks KW802

You should be able to use something like this:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'ppindex'">

[towermatt]

WOOHOO!! That worked!

Thanks so much as usual Brian.
