Thanks AnalogPoint that was the problem, the boards were not set to show on the drop downs. And your latest version fixed the other problem.

Mark as Installed!! A++

couldn't get this to work. I've made the edits, import the product and added the link. All I get is "Forum Jump" in header, but it does not show the forum jump menu, all it does is link to forumdisplay.

I've installed this and it works great, but it doesn't appear in my navbar on the root of the site, which is powered by vBadvanced CMPS. I've tweaked my navbar a lot, so I had to insert "$template_hook[navbar_buttons_left]" to get it to show up at all, but that doesn't seem to work on vBa pages.

Any ideas?

Im a complete noob with this stuff, this was my first ever plug in and it worked right outta the box.
Ive got it set up HERE, and while i wish i could customize the sections to not be in sequential order, its still pretty neat.

Is there a way i can have the 3 main sections by themselves, and then all the small sections in one long column at the end?

ok ive been doing some research on my site. Turns out that, out of my four styles running it works on only one. The other three aren't even showing up in the navebar. Iv'e been looking over the code in the one style it is working on and no reference to this add-on at all. Not quit sure where its pulling to start the add-on, mabey in the hook system? I'm pretty unfamiliar with the hook system. Any way still trying to figure it out.

Ok i got it working on 2 styles now. Only problem I have left is that it wont show on CMPS hompage. The add-on only works on forumhome and forum pages. I'm looking into putting it on the CMPS and i'll let you all know.

Ignore this and install version 1.0.4 :)

Make one last change and it should work. I just realized you said all your links are in your header, and you're not using the navbar template. In the plugin code, find And replace it with Also, make sure that you have added $template_hook[navbar_buttons_left] in your header where you want the menu to appear.

For those of you who are installing this on 3.6.4, 3.6.5 etc, I've now made this plugin compatible with 3.6.0 to 3.6.8 Just install the lastest version (1.0.4), and if you running less than vB 3.6.8 insert $template_hook[navbar_buttons_left] in one of your templates, wherever you want them menu to appear.

Try the newest version, I think It'll work for you. (You can ignore post #47 above.)
Try the newest version and be sure to put $template_hook[navbar_buttons_left] in the header or wherever you want the menu to show up and see if it works.
I've added an optional icon in version 1.0.4 that links to the last post in each forum.

Version 1.0.4 not working on my forum. its not showing any popup. im using a fully customized templates. my forum's navbar links is based on icons rather then text links.

So had to stick with version 1.0.3. can you add a templates in the next version where we can customize the navbar link & popup menu..

thx

Is it showing any error message in the HTML source code? (search for navbar_forumjump).

Question....

Is there a reason this only seems to work with the "default" vB skin?
Im running the current version of vB btw.

Ive installed a few free skins ive downloaded, but the Forum Jump link doesnt show up on any of them.

Still, great add on for vB, props to the coder.

I can get the pop-up to work on the default skin only. It will not work on the custom skin. The link shows in the header, but when click for dropdown it doesn't work.

Is there a css class defined in the plugin for this link that perhaps isn't in custom skins?

Are your other skins vb 3.6.8 compliant? do they have $template_hook variables in them? If not, you'll need to put $template_hook[navbar_buttons_left] in your header or navbar template. Also, PM me your URL if you'd like me to take a look.


Could you PM me your URL and I'll see if I can deduce anything from the error messages in the HTML source.

No, there is some CSS included in the output of this plugin, but there isn't anything that would need to be defined elsewhere.

Very useful modification, suggestion if you are willing to take one, an option to limit the number of characters appearing on the name of the section.

Since I'm using a custom skin, i had to manually put a navbar link matching with the skin and they were working fine in older version. But with this new version, the popup wont showing.. and not im not getting any kind of error msg..

I still havent found a template that i like, just installing random free ones.
Here is my site.

The skin is supposed to be 3.6.8... but im a noob at this so dont know much about hte other stuff you said.

you rocks ;)

Make sure you have $template_hook[navbar_buttons_left] in your navbar template.

Could you PM me your URL and I'll see if I can deduce anything from the HTML source.

I am in the same boat. Cannot get it to show on vBadvanced CMPS homepage.

Try adding template_hook to 'Portal Output Global Variables' in vba and let me know if that does the trick.

No one has any ideas on how to fix this?

Did you give that a try? Oh, and also, try the latest version.

That worked. Thanks.
Great add-on, Analogpoint.

Thanks Analogpoint , works fine on vba too :)

Would you mind sharing exactly what you did to get it to work with vBa? I only ask since there were a few others with the same problem. Thanks.

How is this?

Very practical and helpful Mod. Thank you very much.

I'm running vBadvanced and have noticed that I get a no input file specified message when I use the forumjump menu from the advanced page. My vba page lives outside the forum directory so the url does not point to my forum. This happens frequently when I add things to my vBadvanced page and usually adding $vboptions[bburl] at the begining of the links fixes the problem . Can someone help me find where in the code I can add $vboptions[bburl] to correct the links.

Just noticed that I have the same issue.

I tried this and it works:
Open the product-navbar_forumjump_1.0.4.xml file with an editor.
At line 85
Change:To: Note: change "/forums/" to whatever your forums directory is.

Import and overwrite the product.


Update: This was fixed in version 1.0.7

Got this error for 1.0.4.:

XML Error: not well-formed (invalid token) at Line 1

Try re-downloading the zip file, then extract the XML file and import that.

When I log out of my forum the "Forum Jump" is still showing on the login.php?do=logout&logouthash= link, and it is showing forums that should not be viewable by unregistered guests, such as my moderator areas:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

when I go from there to the forum index.php the forumjump is not viewable, but it is on the login page

i did the exact thing that u said in this topic .

still can't this to work on my custom skin.

I took a look at your site and I think I know what's going on. I'll release an update that should fix it on Sunday or Monday. You can go ahead and disable it now and get rid of the extra useless link.

Just did both of what you recommended, it works great now. Thanks!

Installed it again, but nothing shows up.

I searched and found:

$template_hook[navbar_buttons_left]

In my navigation bar. I checked and it is turned on. Any idea?

One more change is needed to get the "Go to Last Post" feature working with vbadvanced CMPS.
Change the first part of line 82 to:
Again, change "/forums/" to whatever your forums directory is.
Import and overwrite.

Update: This was fixed in version 1.0.7
