Lower Breadcrumbs

[Lynne]

This just adds the breadcrumbs to the bottom of the showthread page. I saw this thread over (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?326003-Lower-Breadcrumbs) at vb.com and then decided to share it as I wrote it for myself.


https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=107044&stc=1&d=1259714330



Version History:
1.0 2009-12-01: initial release by Lynne at vbulletin.org (pre Beta 5)
1.1 2009-12-04: fixed the issue regarding a single apostrophe in a thread or forum title (Thanks go to BBR-APBT for the fix!) (Beta 5)
1.2 2009-12-12: small template change for new release, RC2 (RC2)
1.3 2009-05-10: added lower breadcrumbs to forumdisplay page (up to 4.0.7)
1.4 2009-10-21: fixed for use in 4.0.8 (4.0.8)


To install:

1. Import product-lynne_lower_breadcrumbs.xml


To uninstall:

1. Uninstall "Lower Breadcrumbs"


Optional:

Added in 1.1: in the plugin, Add Lower Breadcrumbs to SHOWTHREAD template, you will see the following lines:

// to put it above the Quick Reply box
//$find = '<!-- scripts for quick reply and quick edit -->';
// to put it above the Thread Information box
$find = '<div id="thread_info" class="thread_info block">'; If you wish to have the Breadcrumbs above the Quick Reply box, then uncomment that line and comment out the one to put it above the Thread Information box, like this:


// to put it above the Quick Reply box
$find = '<!-- scripts for quick reply and quick edit -->';
// to put it above the Thread Information box
//$find = '<div id="thread_info" class="thread_info block">';


Also, I added one more location to put lower breadcrumb in, just below posts (above inline moderation, above reply button...).

Thanks to Alan for instructions to add to that location, see this post - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2527214&postcount=230

And again thanks to Alan, if you use microdata on your site and want the breadcrumbs to only show for logged in users, see this post - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2527433&postcount=234

[AzzidReign]

I've thought about installing this on my site a while ago...as I hate scrolling up lol

Thanks

[Zaiaku]

Very nice. But will this have any effect on ads that would b placed either below naver or above footer?

[nomoreturn]

installed and wroking great thanks

[Darkimmortal]

Works perfectly, thanks :)

[Lynne]

I have no idea as I have no ads on my site. You can see from the image exactly where this is located. It is the div for the thread_info (contains current users, similar thread, tag box, etc.) that it is located off of - it is directly above that.

[SonicGT]

Great, check another mod for 4.0 off my list that I'm waiting for :)

[ChopSuey]

Thanks again Lynne, installed nominated.

[abdobasha2004]

simple and nice

[cyclical]

Anyway to add this right above the quick reply box and right below the "post reply" button?

(like on this one)
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=202377

It makes it even easier for quick navigation, most users don't scroll much lower than the quick reply box.

[Lynne]

You can probably change this line in the plugin "Add Lower Breadcrumbs to SHOWTHREAD template":
Is currently:
$find = '<div id="thread_info">';Change to:
$find = '<!-- scripts for quick reply and quick edit -->';

[VonDoom]

Thanks Lynne, Installed life is already getting easier. ;)

[Lynne]

Just a warning guys, this will 'break' in the next release, I will be posting version 1.1 as soon as the next release it up.

[cyclical]

Also, just noticed with this enabled in Beta 4 I am getting Parse errors when trying to access certain threads. It is not happening to all threads, just a few.

i.e.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/XXXXX/public_html/forums/includes/class_core.php(3805) : eval()'d code on line 670

As soon as I disabled the pluging, it will allow me to enter the thread.

[Lynne]

That is the one that renders the template code. Have you tried disabling other modifications to see if it still happens? I wonder if this one is interferring with another mod you have that modifies the same template. Or, have you tried making the change in post 12 to see if it still happens?

I'd love a link to one of the threads you have problems with so I could take a look at the source code (you can PM me a link with a test username/password if you like).

I disabled all mods except the blog/cms thing. The only time it ever worked was when this mod was off.

I haven't tried making that change you suggested yet.

I'll pm you a test account in a minute or so, along with a link to a thread.

[SİMAR]

thanks

[BBR-APBT]

Well I installed this to help with the code error and I like it so I am keeping it installed.

It didn't interest me till I installed it.

Very nice idea.

You get the apostrophe thing fixed?

[Lynne]

You get the apostrophe thing fixed?
Yes, and the next version will have the fix in place. If you want it in place right now, open up the plugin "Add Lower Breadcrumbs to SHOWTHREAD template", and find this line:
$breadcrumbs = $newTemplate->render();
And add this below (don't copy/paste, see my note below this!!!):
$breadcrumbs = str_replace("'", "**", $breadcrumbs);

Replace the ** with & #039 only with no space between the & and the #. I know this is funky, but it gets parsed and turned into an apostrophe if I don't put a space in there.

I will really like to have this mod on my site.

Is this good for 4.0 Gold already?

[barcena]

Thanks Lynne, works great on Gold Release.

Will you recommend me to install it on my 4.0 Gold site?.

[BreezeDK]

I cant find the place where you put the breadcrumb above the QUICK REPLY?

$find = '<!-- scripts for quick reply and quick edit -->'; <-- isnt anywhere?

edit: Ok i missed the part where you had to change the actual plugin file and not somewhere in the template..

[fayax]

Excellent! I had a user ask me to do this, but what do I know. Tagged for later use as I am waiting to get a different issue fixed before I add something else. :)

[consolegaming]

Installed, did this with a style edit on previous versions but a plugin does make things a bit easier.

[mrsbuzzy]

Would you be able to so the same hack except for the forum display so that it shows under the post new thread button. I can't seem to get it to do that.

[Lynne]

Just create a plugin using forumdisplay_complete with the following:
$newTemplate = vB_Template::create('navbar_breadcrumbs');
$newTemplate->register('navbits', $navbits);
$breadcrumbs = $newTemplate->render();
$breadcrumbs = str_replace("'", "'", $breadcrumbs);

// to put it above the Forum Information box
$find = '<div id="forum_info_options" class="forum_info">';

$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY'] = str_replace($find,$breadcrumbs.$find, $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY']);

That should do it. I'll put it in my next version.

[TosHaNYC]

Awesome... Installed... Thank you!

[TosHaNYC]

I ended up redoing my vbulletin from scratch after it crashed... and i downloaded this mod again.... I honestly don't understand why its only 4 stars..... 5 stars in my book!

Can someone please help me understand in more detail how to make the breadcrumbs above the Quick Reply box?

Thanks in advance!

Did you try editing the file at all? I don't know why you would get that error. I would try redownloading it and try uploading it again.

Thank you for this.

Can you show me how to align this to the right of the page instead of the left please?

[Lynne]

Thank you for this.

Can you show me how to align this to the right of the page instead of the left please?
That's really more of a CSS thing. On my default install, I can just add this to additional.css and it will float right:
.breadcrumbs {float:right;}
If you only want that bottom breadcrumb to float right, you will have to edit the template and add the property inline.

[moonclamp]

Thank you ... I was looking for the place to enter additional css - I didn't realise earlier that it had moved to a template file :)

[moonclamp]

The only thing with that is the right floating (lower) navbar is stacked rather than in a line. I've got the principle though :)

[whelck]

Ah this is perfect!

One question about the alignment. How easy would it be to have the Breadcrumbs and the quick navigation on one line? Right now there's a break so it creates more whitespace than is probably necessary.

[Lynne]

You would probably have to manually edit the template to make them both be on one line.

$newTemplate = vB_Template::create('navbar_breadcrumbs');

For forumdisplay this method work but there is a little problem with subforum of subforum where doesn't work.
Examples: Home >> Videogames (work)
Examples 2: Home >> Videogames >> Nintendo (doesn't work)
Examples 3: Home >> Videogames >> Nintendo >> Wii (doesn't work)

How to fix it? Any ideas?

It works just fine on my 4.0.2 test site using a default style. I'm not sure why it isn't working for yours.

Very nice work, young lady. Thank you. I'm curious, though, where do you have your breadcrumb? On top of the Quick reply?
On my test forum, I have it just above the Thread Information. When I get around to upgrading my other mods and go live with my site, I'll put it wherever my Mods want it. :)

[Boofo]

I like it above the thread info. It looks like it should be there by default. Good job. ;)

[Boofo]

Lynne, the "Version check for hacks" mod keeps flagging your mod here. The version you have for download says 1.1 in it and the version check is seeing 1.2. Just though you might want to know.

[Lynne]

Updated to 1.3.

[Boofo]

OK, in the new version with the forumdisplay option, it seems to sit a little above where it is supposed to. There is a small space between the breadcrumb and the who's viewing box, compared to the showthread one.

[Lynne]

OK, in the new version with the forumdisplay option, it seems to sit a little above where it is supposed to. There is a small space between the breadcrumb and the who's viewing box, compared to the showthread one.
Unfortunately, that is because of some CSS that vBulletin applies to the "thread_info" class, but not the "forum_info_options" class.

Try adding this to additional.css:
#forum_info_options {top:-10px;}

[Boofo]

Why don't you add a StyleVar for that, now that I know how they work. ;)

I'm sure someone else will say something about it sooner or later.

[Lynne]

Style Manager > Edit Templates > double-click on CSS Templates > additional.css is where you would add it. Just one line, no need for a stylevar or anything like that. Some people will probably not even notice that they are off by 10px between the two pages.

[Boofo]

Yes, I found it. I am still thinking vb3 where you had an area for that and not a template.

But isn't there a way to add a stylevar for that like that other guy did with his hack, that I have so much trouble with deleting? It should work the same way his did, shouldn't it? I'm just trying to lean the new css stuff is all.

[Lynne]

Believe me, you don't want a stylevar for it. You don't need it. You'd still have to then create some CSS and enter it into a template and use the stylevar. It would just be a lot more 'junk' if a stylevar was created.

A word of caution .... ;)

I'm using 4.0.4pl1 and have been using this mod for some time, as well as the Thank You mod going back years.

The moment I made this "cache" change manually to the plugin, I started getting reports from members that the Thank You function was crashing causing what appears to be XML code to spill to their screens.

I reverted the change above to the original state and the complaints stopped ... :confused:

The moral? If you make the change above and use the Thank You mod as well, I'd suggest some thorough testing be done. I have no idea why such a simple change would affect another mod in this way, but it's too coincidental.

How do I make it so that there is one ABOVE Quick Reply and one BELOW too?
I would guess you would have to do the find/replace line twice - once for each place - or make it into any array and do the find/replace. I've never tried that though.

[DISLEX]

Lynne, how come <center><div id="thread_info" class="thread_info"></center> wont work? Why can't I center it?

[Lynne]

<center> is a deprecated tag. You should be using text-align:center if you are trying to center text.

Hi,

I have a wee bit of a prblem with the css on te forum pages such as this in the browsers.. see here.. http://www.tacklebox.com.au/forums/freebies-special-offers/ what do I have to do??

[Lynne]

It looks like things go wonky when Page Navigation is off. There is some CSS with the page navigation that helps define the div above the breadcrumbs and when it's off, the breadcrumbs don't respect that space. So, add to additional.css:

#breadcrumb_two {
clear: both;
display: block;
float: left;

I just looked and you did not apply it to that style. It isn't in your CSS at all.

Ahh Haaa... looks like the forum does not read additional.css ata ll. I've added to code to vbulletin.css and all is good. Thx Lynne.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE in /home/mmo-champion/public_html/includes/class_core.php(4444) : eval()'d code on line 4

After using the 1.4 breadcrumbs upload, I'm getting this error. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. And changed the portions to reflex the template changes as mentioned earlier in the topic.

[Lynne]

The error is from a template. So exactly what have you put into the template and which template?

[Telshin]

The template is the exact code from my development server with no change upon the import. I've checked both Forumdisplay and showthread and the spots have not changed either. It's just rather odd.

[Lynne]

Well, the problem is on line 4 of whatever template is causing the issue. That is what the error is saying.

[Telshin]

Aye, it was a silly little import from the XML issue. Thanks Lynne.

Since i upgraded to vB 4.1.3 the breadcrumbs don't show up anymore. I have installed version 1.4 and use the standard vB Style. I have tried deactivate and reactivate the plugin - but the breadcrumbs still don't show up.

Don't show up on what page using what options? They show up just fine on my default 4.1.4 site.

[nocte]

strange. I have downloaded the hack again and overwritten the plugin. Now it works again..

[zelnik]

Hi Lynne hoping you can help.

I've been happily using this 'hack' for ages but I'm installing a custom style and I just can't get it to display above the quick reply box. I assume the showthread for the custom style is set up different even though it has "<!-- scripts for quick reply and quick edit -->" in the showthread template.

The custom style is this one: http://www.completevb.com/demovb4/forum.php?styleid=65 if this is any help?

Thanks Lynne much appreciated as this little hack is the most popular one on my site!

Running vb4.1.3 if thats any help... 4.1.4 soon

[Lynne]

You could just replace this line in the plugin:
$vbulletin->templatecache['SHOWTHREAD'] = str_replace($find,$breadcrumbs.$find, $vbulletin->templatecache['SHOWTHREAD']);
with this:
vB_Template::preRegister('SHOWTHREAD', array('breadcrumbs' => $breadcrumbs));
And then just manual put {vb:raw breadcrumbs} into the SHOWTHREAD template.

[zelnik]

Thank you very much Lynne I'll give that a try in the morning, much appreciated!

[Dirt Bike Addict]

Thanks Lynne, that was just what I was looking for. :up:

Try it on your test site and see.

Hi Lynne,
I love your work with this modification. And, I just think about more than what you provided in it. And, that it. I need your permission to complete my build about "Footer Breadcrumbs". Of course, it will more than "FORUMDISPLAY" and "SHOWTHREAD".

I will reuse your template (if it work with all vB version) and a little of PHP codes in plugin.

I hope will have fully your permission to do that !

Thanks,
Getamped 1404.

[Lynne]

Sure. I do have the code marked as Re-Usable Code.

[BCP Hung]

Thank you ! I want to make sure that you allow me !

[DontWannaName]

I cant seem to get my lower breadcrumb to look exactly like the top. I tried doing it the way on page 10 and it kept adding that image from my style. I need that for the top but not the bottom. Unless I can get it to work with that.

That code for the image is:

<li class="navbithome"><a href="index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" ><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase home}" /></a></li>

[Lynne]

Your top and bottom breadcrumbs look pretty much the same to me. You have a custom style and they modified the breadcrumb code. If you want them to be exactly the same, you will need to modify this modification template code the same way that your custom style breadcrumb code was modified. That is not something I can help with.

I have a little problem with the plugin . I set up the breadcrumbs to be shown above the quick edit, when I'm not logged in, it will not show the lower breadcrums. I think this hapens because the editor is not showed for unregistered users. Thaaks . I hope that my english is not so bad.

[Lynne]

You could try using this in the "Add Lower Breadcrumbs to SHOWTHREAD template" plugin instead:

$find = '<!-- / next / previous links -->';

I have it working just fine on my showthread page on a totally default 4.1.11 forum. I have the breadcrumbs located just above quick reply. Where do you have them? And does it work on a totally default style?

[Daisyboo]

They are above the quick reply box and yes they work in the default style. I'm using CinemaPink if you've heard of that?

[Lynne]

If they work in the default style, then this is an issue with your custom style.

I have had this installed since 4.0 and it has been great. I have 4.2.0 patch 2 now. A poster noticed today the when you view a locked thread the lower bread crumbs are missing. When I view it as an admin I see them but when I run a test user with no admin permissions the bread crumbs are missing in locked threads.

I am not sure what is doing this? I installed it per the directions on this page, I can't find any but is there a user permission that controls that?

FYI here is the add request in JIRA for this. Lynn can you add this link to the front page of this add on?

I have 4.2.0 patch 2

While we are at it will this plug in still work in VB 5?

[Lynne]

That code simply means that it would put the breadcrumbs above this line:
<div id="thread_info" class="thread_info block">

As for vB5, no, this will definitely not work in vB5 since there is no plugin system like this one in vB5.

Hi Lynne thank you. I have installed it above the qR box any chance it can be visible for guests as well please?
You could modify the SHOWTHREAD template and just add {vb:raw breadcrumbs} where you want (and not within the condition it is currently within) and then remove the find/replace code from the "Add Lower Breadcrumbs to SHOWTHREAD template" plugin.

[Footman]

// to put it above the Quick Reply box
//$find = '<!-- scripts for quick reply and quick edit -->';
// to put it above the Thread Information box
$find = '<div id="thread_info" class="thread_info block">';

Her code is in the XML file, not the showtread template. That's where you make the changes to where you want the breadcrumbs placed.

[Footman]

Lynne,

Is it possible to place the breadcrumbs between the "Reply to Thread" button and the last post?

[Lynne]

Lynne,

If you edit the SHOWTHREAD template directly, as I talked about above, then I am sure you can. But it isn't an option I provided an automatic template change for.

[Footman]

Thanks Lynne, I'll poke around with it and see if I can do it.

Installed on a new install of 4.2.0, the breadcrumb is visible and where I want it, and it works but...

in threaddisplay, thread links are unclickable, you cna see them but you hover over them and cant click.

I disable it and everything is back to normal.

I realize it may be another hack I have installed, but...

O well, I'll figure it out eventually

In PHP, "//" comments out a line so that it is not parsed. So, if you want to uncomment it, you would remove the "//" at the front. And, conversely, to comment out a line, you would add a "//" to the beginning of the line and then that line is ignored by php.

[DemOnstar]

Thank you once again... Always there....:up:

Sorry about this but I still don't get it.

To save confusion, this is currently what the script in question looks like.

<script type="text/javascript">

[Lynne]

You don't do anything to the template. You do something to the plugin. (And I do say exactly what to do in the original post in this thread.)

If you wish to have the Breadcrumbs above the Quick Reply box, then uncomment that line and comment out the one to put it above the Thread Information box, like this:

// to put it above the Quick Reply box
$find = '<!-- scripts for quick reply and quick edit -->';
// to put it above the Thread Information box
//$find = '<div id="thread_info" class="thread_info block">';

Try this on a totally default style - create a new style with no parent:

Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
Parent Style: No Parent Style
Title: Default vBulletin
Allow User Selection: Yes
Save

Then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem? If so, disable ALL other products from the Manage Products page and see if you still have the same problem.

That isn't a default style. And did you set it to show above the Quick Reply (which I can't see on that thread since I'm unregistered) or the Thread Information box?

I've tried both above Thread Information and Quick Reply Box. Perhaps one of my other mods is stopping it working. Changing to 'bare' style is selectable at the bottom of the page, this is the VB default look.

[Alan_SP]

Thank you Lynne for excellent mod, it's very useful, it really makes easier to know where someone is. One of my users just asked for lower breadcrumb, I immediately remembered your mod.

Also, I added one more location to put lower breadcrumb in, just below posts (above inline moderation, above reply button...).

To add this location add this code in plugin Add Lower Breadcrumbs to SHOWTHREAD template:

// to put it just below posts
$find = '<div class="postlistfoot">';

Or use attached modified Lynne's mod, where it is enabled by default.

[Alan_SP]

Lynne, can your mod be made compatible with this template edit: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=277570

Now, when we use your mod and this template edit have double information in Google microdata as we have two breadcrumbs.

Is there a way that your mod doesn't use changed template with microdata, but retain functionality of breadcrumb? Or otherwise, that your mod (i.e. breadcrumb created with your mod) uses microdata and upper breadcrumb use original template?

It would be great to use microdata and your mod, but I'm worrying that doubling of this information would hurt SEO and it also looks puzzling in Google results page.

[Lynne]

I am not familiar with that modification at all. But, you can always disable the plugin called "Add Lower Breadcrumbs to FORUMDISPLAY template" or "Add Lower Breadcrumbs to SHOWTHREAD template" and just add {vb:raw breadcrumbs} into the template manually.

[Alan_SP]

That would probably create the same problem, but I just got idea that breadcrumb could be hidden from guests.

It would make it hidden from Google (and other search engines) also. And thus it would look like there's only one breadcrumb. Guests probably wouldn't use it as much as registered users who participate more actively.

And thanks for that info about {vb:raw breadcrumbs}, but for some reason it doesn't work.

So I further modified your great mod and added conditional in your template, that lower breadcrumb is shown only to members:

<vb:if condition="$show['member']">Show this to members only</vb:if>

Now only members see lower breadcrumb and Google sees microdata just as it should. If anyone want to use microdata information, I attached modified version (or of course, anyone can add conditional by themselves)

[Lynne]

Thanks again, Alan!

[Alan_SP]

No problem. :up:

And, I can't like your posts at the moment...

[CarpCharacin]

will it work on vbulletin 4.2.2 and will it work with BOP5's xenforo style breadcrumb mod?

[Alan_SP]

On BOP's mod, I think it will work, but it probably would generate double microdata. Also, lower breadcrumb wouldn't be in xenforo style, you'd need to change template to achieve xenforo look.

[Lynne]

will it work on vbulletin 4.2.2 and will it work with BOP5's xenforo style breadcrumb mod?
I don't know if it will work with it, but if you want the breadcrumbs to look like those in BOPs mod, then you most likely need to modify the navbar_breadcrumbs template to be like the one BOP uses.

This runs fine with 4.2.5 and PHP 7.

It just alters a template.
