Post to Your Blog - Easy link · **Released**: 08-17-2009

*This small template modification is for users that have Vblog*

By default, Vbulletin doesn't include a Link in the Blog Dropdown submenu on your navbar.
This template modification will enable your Blog Dropdown submenu to have a "Post to Your Blog" link

Go to the style you wish to have the link on and get to this template:

"Style name"=>Blog Templates=>blog_navbar_link_menu

The template should look something like this:

Code:

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="vbbloglinks_menu" style="display:none" align="$stylevar[left]">
	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
	<tr>
		<td class="thead"><a href="blog.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[blogs]</a></td>
	</tr>
	<if condition="$show['canpostitems']">
	<tr>
		<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[your_blog]</a></td>
	</tr>
	</if>
	<tr>
		<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]do=list">$vbphrase[recent_entries]</a></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]do=list&amp;blogtype=best">$vbphrase[best_blog_entries]</a></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]do=bloglist&amp;blogtype=best">$vbphrase[best_blogs]</a></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]do=bloglist">$vbphrase[blog_list]</a></td>
	</tr>

	<if condition="$show['blog_search']">
	<tr>
		<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog_search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=search">$vbphrase[search_blogs]</a></td>
	</tr>
	</if>
	</table>
</div>

Add this bit of code wherever you want the link to appear:
-------------------------------------------------
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog_post.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newblog">Post to Your Blog</a></td>
</tr>
-------------------------------------------------

My template looks like this with the added part in red:
-------------------------------------------------

Code:

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="vbbloglinks_menu" style="display:none" align="$stylevar[left]">
	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
	<tr>
		<td class="thead"><a href="blog.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[blogs]</a></td>
	</tr>
	<if condition="$show['canpostitems']">
	<tr>
		<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog_post.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newblog">Post to Your Blog</a></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[your_blog]</a></td>
	</tr>
	</if>
	<tr>
		<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]do=list">$vbphrase[recent_entries]</a></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]do=list&amp;blogtype=best">$vbphrase[best_blog_entries]</a></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]do=bloglist&amp;blogtype=best">$vbphrase[best_blogs]</a></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]do=bloglist">$vbphrase[blog_list]</a></td>
	</tr>

	<if condition="$show['blog_search']">
	<tr>
		<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="blog_search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=search">$vbphrase[search_blogs]</a></td>
	</tr>
	</if>
	</table>
</div>

This code is very handy for members if they wish to post a quick blog post saving them a click, plus it's convenient.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
