Link back to forum from thread view

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

AdminFusion > Front Desk > News and Information

? Previous Thread | New Posts | Next Thread ?

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

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

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>

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.

Hmm. I'm now currently set to "New Posts from <forum name>" but based on your comments I think I'll change it back to "New Posts" (all) to encourage folks to check out all the forums.

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?

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?

[Aunt Clara]

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
