Dynamic Forum Navigation Module (basic)

[phlogiston]

This module provides a very basic dynamic forum menu.

• Each CMPS page can display either a list of subforums or a list of thread topics.
• A maximum number of menu links can be set for each page
• The parent forum id can be set for each CMPS page.
• First and last menu options can be set in static templates.

New templates under the vBadvanced CMPS section include adv_portal_navmenu_high and adv_portal_navmenu_low which contain the links above and below the dynamic portion, both of these can be emptied or set to whatever suits your site best.


*** IMPORTANT ***
The install script included here runs queries, simple though they are to just add extra settings, templates & phrases, I strongly advise you to BACKUP your database before installing (unless you really, really trust me. fools...)






I'm not good at posting these things as I never know what extra info folk might want/need, so just ask!

This looks interesting.

When you say this:
"5. Update Individual Pages if Needed." What does that mean? Does it mean that the orum pages still need to be integrated something along the lines of this?

[phlogiston]

hah! yes, That should read "Update individual CMPS Pages if needed to show the module with the settings you want".

& this simply provides a module for the vba CMPS pages, if you want it to show on the forum pages then you will still have to integrate the CMPS as explained in the link you posted.

I've installed it according to the instructions but the module seems to pull every board and thread in the forums. It is also not displaying the name of the block at the top. (Should be "Navigation" but it is blank)

The site is here: http://www.pcgnetworks.com/index.php

How can I tell the module to only pull the names of each category and add some custom links?

Thanks!

[phlogiston]

The block name I used should be stored as $vbphrase[site_navigation], you can check through the Language & Phrase manager if it's there and then check the adv_portal_navmenu template for it as well :S

As for showing all the forums I didn't figure out how to get it to do that for me... :|
- the Navigation Options at the bottom of the CMPS page settings should limit where the module gets the threads or forums to display (eg on your forum setting the Navigation Menu Parent Forum ID to 37 should limit the subforums displayed to those on your forumhome between News & Contests, if it doesn't then I've misunderstood the function I pasted from vBulletin and apologise profusely.

Setting the Navigation Menu Maximum Links will limit the number of threads displayed if that option is checked.

Can i make the additions manually ? and how ?

For those of you who can't get the installer to work I've attached a fixed copy. I've removed the css function which was causing IE to struggle viewing the page. Maybe phlogiston will look into fixing the cpheader function for IE users. I like the module btw gj.

[phlogiston]

brilliant - cheers for that +buG, I've not had anywhere near the time to keep an eye on this site recently so thanks for fixing that!

[nvnix]

I am getting the Following error, Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getrowcolor() in /path/to/public_html/forums/modules/navigation.php on line 94

[phlogiston]

ack!

I'd forgotten all about this being up here - ermm, it most likely won't work at all with vBa CMPS v1.0.1 due to function renaming and the like - I'd have to get time to have a look at it and not certain at all when that would be - sorry folks

Please its not working in 1.0.1

[dsboyce8624]

Anybody out there who can fix this? I might be willing to make it worth your while. A little anyway.

[runes911]

Well this worked for me:

In the navagation.php file

find:

PHP Code:

$getbgrow = getrowcolor(); 


comment it out like so:

PHP Code:

//$getbgrow = getrowcolor(); 


I am using CMPS 2.x
