Navbar/Link Issues...

[Jenn262]

I was wondering if you could help me out with a little problem I've run into. First of all, let me just say that I'm about as novice as you can get when it comes to all this...and I apologize in advance if this is a "silly question" , but I'm completely stumped here.....

Here's the situation. Our board is located at www.parentshideout.net (portal page) and www.parentshideout.net/forums (forum page). This has only been in effect since last night lol....prior to that the address for the forum page was: http://www.parentshideout.net/index.php? and our portal page was: http://www.parentshideout.net/portal.php? .

Prior to making the switch everything worked beautifully. Now that the switch was made, the portal link on the navbar over the forums obviously doesn't work.....and the navbar (in total) on the portal page is shot as well as the links in the navigation module. I was told that in the portal prefs, there is a setting for the portal url and the board url...but for the life of me, I can't find it. Is there an easy fix for this? I would immensly appreciate any help/advice that you can offer me!!

Admin CP => vBulletin Options => Site Name / URL / Contact Details

Is your 'Forum URL' option there set correctly?

This is happening for me but only in the Search and Quick Links. All other links properly reference my board that is at /forumapc. When I click search or one of the quick links, it tries to find search.php in the root directory rather than the /forumapc directory. How can I correct this?

Which version of the CMPS are you running? Can you post a link to your site?

I have a similiar issue:

The Nav Bar links on my home/default page are not working correctly. However, they are working from the Forum page. This happened after I upgraded from CMPS v1.0.0 to v1.0.1.

Here is my site: www.angelicasylum.com

same thing here.. search gets a 404 error looking in the wrong place.

[Brian]

Double check that 'search.php' (or whichever filename is not linked correctly) is listed in your 'Navbar Replacements' option in your main vBa CMPS settings. If so, if someone would like to submit a support ticket I'll be glad to have a look and see what the problem is.

[agiacosa]

I have no idea where to check that. There is no option in AdminCP CMPS settings for Navbar Replacements.

[vbusers11]

haha, I fixed it!

I have all the pages listed under navbar replacements, I copied that list to header replacements.. no more problem

[Winterhawke]

Copying them over to the Header Replacements worked for me as well, with one exception; the private messages link found in the login/welcome block of the header (top right) still does not work. Works while viewing the forums though.

[agiacosa]

where is the header replacements?

[vbusers11]

>admin panel > vBa CMPS > Default Settings Then you'll see textareas with the navbar ones, header, and footer categories

I had to have the replacements in both places to make it work correctly. Thanks for the upgrade....upgrade...good! Just like beer!

EDIT: The Private Message link under your username and time and date doesn't work now...any ideas where I change that?

[Brian]

I've found the problem with the private.php link. Looks like vB moved the link from the navbar template to a phrase at some point. For anyone having a problem with this, look in your forum/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php file for this code:

PHP Code:

$templatecache['navbar'] = str_replace($navreplace['find'], $navreplace['replace'], $templatecache['navbar']); 


And add this right below it:

PHP Code:

$vbphrase['private_messages_nav'] = str_replace('"private.php', '"' . $vboptions['bburl'] . '/private.php', $vbphrase['private_messages_nav']); 


I'm not sure why anyone would be having a problem with the other replacements unless the links have been moved to their header. If anyone that's having this problem would like to submit a support ticket though I'll be glad to take a look and see what the problem is.

[MotoUp]

Perfect, thanks.

[Winterhawke]

Thanks, Brian. I've submitted a ticket so you can take a better look at the header issue.

[Chrisedge]

That fixed my "header" problem...PM Link (above navbar) works with the fix above...

[oztrack]

I just fixed my private message link with this fix on the php file.

BUT now my link in the nav bar have dropped off the /forum link.

Most of them are wrong.

Please help.

I just found the problem - i had replaced the original code instead of placing it underneath.
