CES vbWiki Pro Navbits Extension
 

CES vbWiki Pro Navbits Extension
Version: 1.0.0
Requires vbWiki Pro 0.9.7 RC1 or later

*** This extension is no longer supported. My other hack CES Custom Navbits on Any Pages now includes these features without using the convoluted code this does. ***

vbWiki Pro is a commercial product available at http://www.NuHit.com. vbWiki Pro integrates MediaWiki 1.6.8+ and vBulletin 3.6.x. NuHit also offers a free version of vbWiki with only User/Login Integration.

Now back to this hack...

What It Does:
Allows an editor to specify a breadcrumb path for the vBulletin navbar that's more specific than simply: Wiki > Article

Since Articles can be contained in multiple categories on the same level, an automated system did not seem to be the best route. This system also enables a breadcrumb to link to other pages on your site other than a Wiki Category or another Article.

Features in Version 1.0.0:
- Use <nav>...</nav> wikispeak to add navbits between Wiki and Article
- Use <> to add even more custom bits
- Supports relative and absolute links
- Breadcrumb can use any custom text
- Supports HTML in Breadcrumb-text
- Wiki level uses $wgSitename (it will say the wiki's title, rather than 'Wiki')
- Navbits immediately updated
Well, you can't really have too many features in a navbits extension. :knockedout:

Syntax:

Code:

---

<nav>
URL1 BREADCRUMB-TEXT1<>
URL2 BREADCRUMB-TEXT2<>
URL3 BREADCRUMB-TEXT3
</nav>

---

Limitations:
- No spaces in URLs (use _ or %20).
- No wiki mark-up inside <nav> tags.

Ideas for Future Versions:
Discuss.

Other Releases I'm Working On:
- Custom Navbits for vB Custom Pages
- Auto Wiki-links in Posts for vbWiki Pro

- before & after

Picture please. :)

Thanks for this, i've just purchased vBWiki Pro to intergrate what I already have. Thanks for releasing this, once my order gets processed i'll download your mod and check it out. :D

Screenshots added.

As stated above, I now recommend waiting for version 1.1.0. Unless you were a beta-tester for vbWiki Pro -- then you should install now because the next update won't support any unpaid versions before vbWiki Pro 1.0.2.

Also, this is basically a Lite Version of my "Custom Navbits in All Pages" mod, which allows modifications to navbits on ANY vBulletin page - also being released later today. If you don't mind the 1 extra query, you can accomplish the same effect as this by using the conditionals feature.
