I need help modifying the nav bar guys.

[Colon33]

I am trying to edit the NAV BAR for hosted subforums so it begins with THEIR forum name not the default forum home link. IE:

Gamer-pit > Hosted Forums > Black Ice

I want to change that too Just Start out with

Black Ice

When they are on there forum... anyway i can do this that im not seeing... i must be blind if there is.. lol

[Xenon]

you have to edit function makenavbar ind admin/functions.php

[Colon33]

Exactly which part? I only want to do it for specific Forums. Or is this not Possible?

[Xenon]

this part:
eval("\$navbar = \"".gettemplate("navbar")."\";");

change it to:
if($idtype="forum" and $id!=xx) {
eval("\$navbar = \"".gettemplate("navbar")."\";");
} else {
eval("\$navbar = \"".gettemplate("subnavbar")."\";");
}

then copy template navbar to subnavbar and cut out the $bbtitle parts..

[Colon33]

But wont this still display the category Before the final FORUM NAME?

GAmer-pit > Hosted Forums > Black Ice

changed to just

Black Ice

[Xenon]

yes, that's the problem of the recursive function used for building the navbar..

You can also make it a bit more hardcoded:
if($idtype=="forum" and $id!=xx) {
eval("\$navbar = \"".gettemplate("navbar")."\";");
} else {
$foruminfo=getforuminfo($id);
eval("\$navbar = \"".gettemplate("subnavbar")."\";");
}
then use $foruminfo[title] in subnavbar instead of the buildet navbar

Xenon...

With your first code, to add more than one forum would be this code?

if($idtype="forum" and $id!=xx and $id!=yy) {
eval("\$navbar = \"".gettemplate("navbar")."\";");
} else {
eval("\$navbar = \"".gettemplate("subnavbar")."\";");
}
yy = the second forumid;)

Hmmm, Ill try this out guys' Thx. Ill see what it does. You guys are talking about forum ID there as xx and yy should i put the forum ID's in there?

[Chris M]

If you want to use Xenon's code, xx stands for the forumid...

If you have more than one forum, yy would be the other forumid;)

Satan

[Colon33]

Excuse me for being troublesome but does that mean i have to replace the xx
and yy or not? heh.

[Xenon]

Satan yes this is the way to do ^^

@colon: it depends on how much forums you want to have the alternate navbar.
just one? replace the xx with the forumid
more add some and clauses to the if clause

[Colon33]

Its only gonna be like 2 or 3. So i replace xx and yy and whatever other forums i want to add it to with the FORUM ID# of the forum correct?

[Xenon]

correct

[Colon33]

ok, i finally got around to adding this after my comp went to hell. Thx alot for helping me on this. I use the $foruminfo[title] but nothing appears. How can i get it to still display the same following subforums and thread information?

[Xenon]

do you have the line $foruminfo=getforuminfo($id); before the eval code?
you should be able to use $foruminfo[title] then...

[Colon33]

yup i added that code just like you said in the coding above. Still got nothing. Any ideas. I have added the code exactly like you said. Still wondering

[Colon33]

bumping incase of possibility of fixing..
