Dynamic Forum / Home Link in Navbar

[zooki]

Hi guys, anyone having trouble with incorrect links just need to have a look at the code and change it a bit. Maybe you need to take out an extra "/" or you need to make sure your paths correlate with the variables.

[DaleBrown]

Ok this is all a little all run together ;0 Let me try and explain what I'm looking for in detail and see if there is an option. when you are on the below sections of the site this is how I want the breadcrumb to look.

"Home" always refers to the root (VBadvanced CMPS)

"Forums" Always refers to the Forums Root

1. When on Main Home Page Breadcrumb looks like this:

Home

2. When on the Forums Main page:

Home > Forums

3. When anywhere in the forums the breadcrumb looks like this:

Home > Forums > bla bla bla

4. When in Gallery (Photopost) breadcrumb looks like this:

Home > Gallery > etc.....

I always want HOME to be the first link in breadcrumb and send you to main page

Hope this is clear.

did this change for 3.6 beta ?

any help is appreciated :-)

[mholtum]

should still work

[DarkSoul]

I cannot get this to work, Whenever i add said code in said place, my menu "Quick Links" show up above my shoutbox. and totally displace the entire page.

what am i doing wrong?

[Jimbo]

I have this installed, and working fine.

The only [slight] problem I have is in gallery. I do not get a forum link i.e.

CMPS
Forum Gallery Links Usercp etc.

Forum
Home Gallery Links Usercp etc.

Gallery
Home Gallery Links Usercp etc.

Links
Home Forum Gallery Links Usercp etc.

Note that in gallery and links, I also get a link to the same page.

Does anyone know the fix to this? - I have searched the topic and cannot see the answer.

Code used is :-

<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="$vboptions[bburl]?$session[sessionurl]">Forums</a></td>
</if>
<if condition="VBA_SCRIPT != 'gallery'">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$vboptions[homeurl]/gallery/?$session[sessionurl]">Gallery</a></td>
</if> 
<if condition="VBA_SCRIPT != 'links'">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$vboptions[homeurl]/links/?$session[sessionurl]">Links</a></td>
</if>

Cheers,
Jimbo

and in the Forums page (index.php)
-Home- -User Cp- -FAQ- -Members List- -Calendar- -Search- -Log Out-

This works great, but I am now trying to add "Chat" to my nav menu...

Here's what I did

created a new page in VBa (identified as "chat") in which I integrated (flashchat) into a template which is on that custom page (chat).

then in my navbar I added this line

<if condition="defined('chat')">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/chat/flashchat.php">
Chat</a></td>
</if>

It's not working??? Any ideas out there?

I upgraded to 3.6.1.
On forums page, the link back to the main works wonderfully.
But, the link on the main page to the forums page, does this:

http://www.yourdomainname.com/forum//index.php. Why the second line is added?

You have to hit the "find" button twice or it will be put in the wrong place. When you find it, insert above it:

and you should be good.

Thank you this works GREAT!!

One thing I discovered about this fix, is that while it may be more aesthetically pleasing to see your yoursite.com/ than yoursite.com/?, the latter is preferable because it works for people who can not use cookies or have them blocked. Otherwise the session link will fail because it will be yoursite.com/index.phps=sesssionhash instead of yoursite.com/index.php?s=sessionhash. So those two question marks before $session in the added template modification serve a practical though aesthetically unpleasing purpose.

This doesn't work for the gallery 2.1

[mholtum]

You might have to change the code a bit. I have it working on my site. http://www.ravensrealm.net Cant remember if I had to change anything.

[Skavenger]

Hi guys,

I used the code as specified in my navbar template and it seems to work fine other than one small problem.

The 'home' link takes me to my root, but the 'forum' link takes me to /forums/cmps_index.php instead of /forums/index.php.

For the life of me I can not work out what is wrong here.

Thanks,

John

[JohnnyBGood]

I found a solution. Basically I removed some of the code, so the URL I get for 'Forum' is now:

a href="$vboptions[bburl]"

If someone would have a moment to help it would be appreciated.

My cmps portal is index.php and my forums portal is forums.php. I have my forums installed in my root directory and I have tried everything in this thread and still can't get the forums navbar link in cmps to go to my forums. Could any body spell it out in simple terms?

Thanks

[StuntFactoryX]

im taking a shot in the dark.. but did you try going to

admincp > cmps > default settings and make sure you changed cmps_index to index

then

admincp > vboptions > forum homepage options and rename index to forums

im not sure if its the solution.. just a idea?

[The dman]

Yes this is set up correct.

Allthough

admincp > cmps > default settings,cmps_index is set to forums.php

that could be the problem.. that setting is calling for what u remamed your vbadvanced to if you changed on set up.. by default it should be cmps_index.php.. many renamed this to index.php so when yo go to yoursite.com it comes up.

the second setting is calling for what you renamed your original vbulletin index.php too if you changed it to make vbadvanced/vbulletin work together in the root. and i think its set to index by default.

im assuming that you renamed your cmps_index.php to index.php and your origional vbulletin index.php to forums.php
