Show Thread Enhancements - Navbar At Bottom of Threads

Hello all,

I thought I would post this quick edit since it seems to work for me. This basically adds the navbar below the post button. I havent tested this a lot and cant guarantee it will work for everyone but its worth a shot.

1. Go to styles and templates > styles manager

On your current theme, go to the drop down menu on the right and scroll down to edit template.

2. On the left side there should be a single column that is a giant scrollbar. Scroll down to Show Thread Template and double click, then SHOWTHREAD should appear and double click that.

3. Now you should be in the editor area. Scroll down about 1/3, you are looking for

<!-- / controls below postbits -->

Above that should be a </table> tag.

4. After the table tag, add this code:

<tr>
        <td class="alt1">
            <!-- breadcrumb -->
            <table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%">
            <tr>
                <td>
                    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
                    <tr valign="bottom">
                        <td width="100%"><span class="navbar"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]" accesskey="1">$vboptions[bbtitle]</a></span> $navbits[breadcrumb]</td>
                    </tr>
                    </table>            
                </td>    
            </tr>
            </table>
            <!-- / breadcrumb -->
        </td>
</tr>

5. Click save and you should now see the navbar below the post reply icon.

If you would like it somewhere else, just play around with moving that code around in SHOWTHREAD. You can add it after post reply too by finding the post reply code and adding it after.

Im no coder so please dont expect much from me as far as support. I couldn't find anything like this exactly, all I saw was navbits that made a new table which were ugly. To see mine please visit my forums at http://topnotchclan.com/forums/index.php and click any of the available threads.

Also, if your navbar gets really long, I cant guarantee that it will look good still but it should just make another line.

Update 3/14/09 - Updated Code with valdet's

By having this on my forums I can now do away with the same thing as is in the area around the navbar. Correct? Ok, how can I accomplish that?

[DontWannaName]

Do away with what area around the navbar? The old plugin from 3.6 adds this in a table that looks bad, is that what you are talking about? or another variation of this?

[K4GAP]

Never mind I figured it out.

Thanks for my mention.

Mine is like this:

<tr>
        <td class="alt1">
            <!-- breadcrumb -->
            <table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%">
            <tr>
                <td>
<fieldset class="fieldset"><legend>British Expats Breadcrumbs</legend>
                    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
                    <tr valign="bottom">
                        <td width="100%"><span class="navbar"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]" accesskey="1">$vboptions[bbtitle]</a></span> $navbits[breadcrumb]</td>
                    </tr>
                    </table> </fieldset>           
                </td>    
            </tr>
            </table>
            <!-- / breadcrumb -->
        </td>
</tr>

Works GREAT ! :up:

Would love to see this mod for vb 4.0

What I would like to see is a COPY of the NAVBAR at the top including the gifs and inside a Category box ... at the bottom.

Any chance for that?
