Mini Navbar: Breadcrumb at the bottom of a thread

[randominity]

Description
There's no quick way to jump back to a forum when you've reached the bottom of a thread, so this adds a breadcrumb to the bottom of a thread.

Install / Upgrade
Download the attached XML file, and import it at
Admin Control Panel > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > Add/Import Product

v1.0.4
After snooping around for a little bit on these forums, I found a neat way to avoid template edits. Big thanks to PaulM and his method of doing this ^^.
Now this mod no longer requires a template modification!
I have removed the non-inline display method, so now it will only be "inline"
v1.0.3
Initial vB 3.6.x version

Please click "Install" if you have installed this mod! Thanks!

You might want to cache the template. ;)

[randominity]

Doh, how would I go about that using plugins?

Would I add something like $globaltemplates[] = 'navbar_mini';
at showthread_start?

[Snake]

Not a bad hack, thanks. :)

[Sooner95]

you know, this is a good idea... Nice job. I like hacks that make sense.

[Sooner95]

imported it, but it didnt do anything...I'm no coder, so can't really help you with what your missing tho...

I installed the product and I don't see any new navbar down at the bottom, either.

same problem

[randominity]

Oops forgot there needs to be another template edit!

----------------
open SHOWTHREAD:
----------------

+------
| FIND:
+------
<if condition="$show['pagenav'] OR $show['inlinemod']">
<td align="$stylevar[right]">$pagenav
+-----------
| ABOVE ADD:
+-----------
<td style="align: $stylevar[left]; vertical-align: top;">$navbar_mini</td>

-------------------
end template edits
-------------------

Btw for those who have already installed you should reinstall this new .xml because it *should* cache the added template.

Hook: cache_templates


if(THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread')
{
$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('navbar_mini'));
}

[randominity]

Oops ok, thanks Boofo! :)

[karrerax]

Ok Installed!

(Sorry for English) :(
Its posible put the mini navbar in all Forum Indexs? you can view this feature in a PhpBB forum.

Thanks

[SnowBot]

OK Installed but nothing :(

In your instructions is says

Hooks: Yes
Edit: 1 template (SHOWTHREAD)
Add: 1 template (navbar_mini)

Now what do we add in the NEW navbar_mini Template?

[moonclamp]

This is something I've been looking for for ages ...

Suggestion on the template edit though ... works better for me doing it this way :)

In SHOWTHREAD TEMPLATE;

find:

</table>
<!-- / controls below postbits -->

Above add:


<tr valign="bottom">
<td colspan="4" class="smallfont"><div align="right">$navbar_mini</div></td>
</tr>

I'm looking for this also.

But one question...why not just use the ForumJump menu?

[michaelbenson]

Add: 1 template (navbar_mini)

Now what do we add in the NEW navbar_mini Template?
I'd like to know this also ... :ermm:

[southernlady]

Have you ever used this at TAZ? It's like that one...MUCH easier and THANK YOU!

Is there a way to make the code bolder and thicker? I love it but the font is hard to read. Maybe if you could bold it and use a larger font? Liz

Nothing, the .xml file adds the navbar_mini template for you.

As for displaying this on forum indexes, yes it can/will be done.

And making the font bigger/bold can/will be done as well.

(Sorry I have a lot of work to do tonight and it's already 3am T_T)

Oh and forum jump menu requires another step to open the dropdown and look for what forum, where as the breadcrumb already as the hierarchy laid out in text immediately after you're done reading a thread.

[michaelbenson]

I prefer mine below the Previous Thread - Next Thread area.
Nice idea :)

[karrerax]

I'm looking for this also.

I used ... are my users LOL

[Sal Collaziano]

I'm looking for this to be more uniform in appearance with the top breadcrumbs/links.. The screenshot doesn't look to be this way.. Has it been updated since?

[southernlady]

And making the font bigger/bold can/will be done as well.

Let me know when you do, okay? I love it but it dissappears cause it's so thin. If I knew where to adjust it myself, I would. Liz

[Telegon80]

what does 'above add' mean?

[Tulsa]

It means when you find the what they are pointing you at, you add what they are referring to above it.

[Telegon80]

thank you sir. just wanted to ask before i fubar the board. :D

[Telegon80]

okey its installed works great!

[carrie31]

very nice hack ！ it works the same as the screenshot :P thanks !

[mindfrost82]

Anyone figure out how to get this to show on the Forumdisplay page under the threadlist?

[descds]

This is exactly what my members wanted after upgraded from phpbb to vbulletin.

Many thanks, excellent hack.

**INSTALLED **

[descds]

I would like to display this inline in the Thread list also. That other hack opens a new box which is under the display options.

How can i get this hack to display 'inline' on the thread view just after the newthread icon ?

[GrimJack]

Thanks for this, saves me the work of adding it myself. Simple, easy to install, and it works - what else could you ask for? :)

[randominity]

Updated to include a theme edit for an "Inline" version (check out the screenshot).

Enjoy! ^.^

Just download the xml file and import it through the ACP.

Erm the xml seems to be missing :) Or i could be half asleep and not seeing it (which is highly likely) ...

Dude, where is the xml? :D

Thank you!

[randominity]

oops! I guess I had a late night last night too!

I deleted my zip with the readme file I had, so here's the XML, just follow the template edits up top.

[CuriousGeorge]

Thank you for this - look great.

[Clayton]

doh, I don't have a 3.5.x board to test this on, but it _should_ work for 3.5.x now.

[JGNYC]

Thanks for the hack.
Unfortunately the bar is only text with no frame around it.
Is there a way to fix this?

I'm running 3.5.4, and I just installed it recently with no hassles whatsoever. Works fantastic.

[browie]

This works Awesome, my favorite hack.

[Evoklub]

We liked it very much, but now we've upgraded to vB4.

Is it available for 4.1.1?
