vb.org Archive - Additional navbar at bottom of forumdisplay

This is how I do it.

To place a navbar at the bottom of forums:

- Open FORUMDISPLAY template.
- Find:

Code:

<!-- / controls below thread list -->



</form>

<br />

BELOW THAT ADD:

Code:

<!-- bottom breadcrumb navbar -->

<br />

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<tr>

    <td class="alt1" width="100%">

        <if condition="is_array($navbits)">

            <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">

            <tr valign="bottom">

                <td><a href="#" onclick="history.back(1)"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_back]" border="0" /></a></td>

                <td>&nbsp;</td>

                <td width="100%"><span class="navbar"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]" accesskey="1">$vboptions[bbtitle]</a></span> $navbits[breadcrumb]</td>

            </tr>

            <tr>

                <td class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt; padding-top:1px" colspan="3"><a href="$scriptpath"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_finallink.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reload_this_page]" border="0" /></a> <strong>$navbits[lastelement]</strong></td>

            </tr>

            </table>            

        <else />

            <div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]" accesskey="1"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></div>

        </if>

    </td>    

</tr>

</table>

<br /> 

<!-- / bottom breadcrumb navbar -->

Save template.

To place a navbar at the bottom of threads:

- Open SHOWTHREAD template.
- Find:

Code:

BELOW THAT ADD: (Same code as above)

Save template.

There is also a nice little plugin here to do something similar, it creates a new template on import of the product through the control panel, then gives you a choice of inserting a full navbar in its' own table row like this does, or as a mini-navbar between the New Reply button and the Moderation dropdown. That plugin is only written to do navbars at the bottom of a thread, but you could easily insert it at the bottom of a forum at the same location in the FORUMDISPLAY template I use above.

The only thing I don't like about the Mini-navbar plugin is that the navbar stops at the forum level, and does not show the actual thread you are in like the main navbar does. The code I listed above will show the full location including current thread, just like the top navbar does.

Cheers,
