Link back to forum from thread view

Sorry for the noob question but I just recently started using vb (long time ipb user) and I find it annoying when you reach the end of a thread you have to scroll all they way down to the Forum Jump dropdown menu. I would like to add a link in betwen "Previous Thread" and "Next Thread" that would take you back to the forum view (list of posts in the forum you are currently reading).

Does that make any sense? I don't have any idea where to start.

Thank you in advance.

Hmm,

Do you want the same breadcrumb style of the postbit template?

I'm sorrry but you lost me. Let me try this. Below this post instead of:

? Previous Thread | Next Thread ?

I would like to see:

? Previous Thread | vB3.5 Modification Questions | Next Thread ?

Hello,

There are several modifications on this site that will display a mini navbar in threads, etc. (Giving you the effect you arelooking for.)

We just added the navbits under the previous / next, so you get this effect ;

That would be great. Where could I find that code and where would I put it?

Thank you all for your patience, like I said I am still figuring out the vb templates.

In the SHOWTHREAD template ;

Find ;

HTML Code:

<if condition="$show['quickreply'] OR $show['ajax_js']">

and add above it ;

HTML Code:

<div class="navbar" align="center" >

<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]">$vboptions[bbtitle]</a>

$navbits[breadcrumb]

</div> 

<br />

Job done.

Something else you might want to look at is this...

I've done that at my forums and I don't know what I'd do without it. It makes reading new posts SO much easier

That's not a bad idea either.

Well, I've actually combined that with a breadcrumb (navigation) at the bottom...so it looks like this

Might look a bit messy there since it isn't the real thing, but it works quite well

Nice idea!

Changing it from the the "subforum name" to "New Posts" ... do you have it set to do a search for ALL new posts, or just new posts in that particular subforum?

I'm currently set to search for all new posts, but I'm wondering if it makes more sense to restrict it to just new posts in that subforum...

ie:

<a href="search.php?do=getnew&include=$foruminfo[forumid]">New Posts in $foruminfo[title]</a>

GTAce

No, I have it to search for all new posts...I suppose for an extremely large forum, having it just search for posts in that forum isn't a bad idea...but then again, when I browse most forums, I typically read posts in all different sections.

I've modified my template to add a "go top" bar under each member info (like in phpBB) and, at the bottom of the page display, a small copy of the navbar.
See screen copy below.

Sorry, it's french ;)
"Revenir en haut" means "Go top"
"R?pondre" means "Reply"

If it is of any use, do not hesitate to ask.

I'd like to add « Previous Thread | New Posts | Next Thread » at the bottom of the first post in a thread. Copying and pasting in the postbit template didn't seem to do the work. Could someone help me please?

Zachery

08-23-2006 07:40 PM

Edit the showthread template and add the html?

<a href="search.php?do=getnew">| New Posts </a>

Aunt Clara

I think you misunderstood me (plus I got something wrong). You see this under my post ( « Previous Thread | Next Thread » ) I want to move it inside the first post in the thread (and the first only), but instead I want it to be (« Previous Thread | Forum X | Next Thread ») where forum x is the one that thread came from.

I tried going to the showthread template, copying that bit and pasting it into the postbit but it didn't work. Any idea why?

Anyone have any idea how to do this? Please help.

Copying the link from the showthread template into the postbit template doesn't work, I am sure I am missing something.

Plus, any idea how I can add an "email this page" link into the postbit? Again copying from the showthread template into the postbit template render the link useless.

And while we are at it:

I really, really need help with this, I want to add the following links to the postbit (again, copying from showthread doesn't work): Show Printable Version - Email this Page - Subscribe to this thread
