Add a forum link... this should be easy...

[bmpwe]

I'm using vBadvanced and would like a link to the forum in the title bar (where, on this site there are links to: User CP, FAQ, Site Rules...

I'm sure this has been answered before... I just didn't know what to search for.

Thanks for your help,
Brandon

in admincp ~ style manager..expand it,

Is this some where in here:
# Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates [? ?]

* navbar [Customize]
* navbar_link [Customize]

?

Thanks for your help... this is new to me.

[nyunyu]

yes, its in navbar

the easiest way to look for it is find "forum" in the search box. then you will have the idea

Ok, I tried this... and got the following error:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@mavsonline.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.mavsonline.com Port 80

Is there somewhere I can edit this in a static file?

Surely this exists somewhere.

Your wanting a link to your homepage? I can do you one better. One that changes to a link to your forums or homepage depending on where youi're at!

In your navbar template find:

<!--<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]">Home</a></td>-->


Replace with


<td class="vbmenu_control"><if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index'"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]?$session[sessionurl]"> Forums <else /> <a href="$vboptions[homeurl]?$session[sessionurl]"> Home </if></a></td>


this will give you a link to the forums on vBa pages

When I try to do this, I get a 500 server error error.

Is there some file I can ftp and edit that way?

[TruthElixirX]

Nope. This mod worked excellent for me.

very first link. Are you sure you're editing the riight template?

Are you sure you're editing the riight template?

Yep, it seems to be a server error.

Could I not have a file chmoded correctly?

I think this could be a permissions error.

This has to be on the server in either a flat file or a DB. Does anyone have an idea?
