View Full Version : Forum Home Enhancements - Nexia's Forum Channels, a different way to see your forums


05-10-2009, 10:00 PM
Have you ever seen a commercial site with a ton of links in the bottom of their pages?.. like a list of their forums, or a complete navigation on a plain listing.

This place: BabyCenter | Homepage - Pregnancy, Baby, Toddler, Kids (http://www.babycenter.com/) is a good example of the usage the Channels can give... go in the bottom of the page, you see the entire navigation of the site.. (ok, it's a parenting site, so?!)

Here is what we have in store for that kind of navigation:

1- we have a "whole page version", where you navigate in one shot instead of going thru the whole forum sub-forums... other screenshots available in the attached thumbnails!

2- a "bottom of page" navigation, a list of all the channels, without any detail. As you can see, in the real bottom, you have the RSS links provided by vbSEO for guests/web crawlers. Our engine is way more attractive, and will tease the readers who are in the bottom of a page!

(you can see this in the bottom of this place too!)

Permissions to view forums is applied, so you do not see a forum you have no right to see.

No query is displayed on a vBulletin default page, as the forumcache is stored everywhere!

There's a problem with the hack..When opening a new thread, it fills the tags automatically with the product..When deactivated the hach the problem was solved..

ok, that's strange, because the hack is not related to tags whatsoever...

Bit new to VB

How to install this just within one style, also to show just within some forums, excluding main page or....?
Is it possible to change colour of present location, lets say if Iam in 'sex' forums that link should stick out in some way !?

Awesome hack,nominated, rated....
Thanks

hum goxy, it can not be awesome with all these questions you have?... lol

all your questions would be answered by editing the product itself from the inside... it's completely out of the principal goal of this small product, so i can only suggest you request a free/paid service for your requests, so someone would do the job for you.

@Nexialys
It is awesome as even without these changes I will use it (probably) :D
Or maybe I was just polite, kiss ars thing....roflmao (thinking oh maybe he will do these edits and spare me of thrashing these VB walls in a dark)

Will try to do some edits with my poor knowledge first and than...

Thanks once more for pile of great mods from you these days, is there more of them !? :D
Cheers

How is this installed. I unziped it and have two folders

"_macosx" folder which has the xml doc

"nex channel" folder which seems to have the same xml doc, but also a folder that say "upload this"

Where do i put the upload this? and which xml doc do I use?

Thanks
