Show Thread Enhancements - Bring Back "Go" Button for VB4 by BOP5 (Forum Jump/Quick Navigation menu)

Demo Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tLLceMb604

This mod simply brings back the "Go" button that was removed from the "Quick Navigation" AKA "Forum Jump" menu.



VB3 already has the "Go" button but when it was removed from VB4 it has added an extra click for users who want to simply "jump" back to the forum they came from.

There are no settings, just install the mod and it will work.

If you have a heavily customized style, specifically a custom forumjump template there is a manual template edit you can make below. THIS IS ONLY NECESSARY IF THE MOD DOESN'T WORK, TRY IT FIRST.

The "Go" button only appears when viewing a thread or viewing a forum (showthread or forumdisplay) because those are the only places it makes sense to have it.

Full instructions in zip file but it's just 1 product to upload- nothing else to do or set.

This should work on all versions of 4.0.x/4.1.x - it has been tested on 4.0.8.

Please Mark As Installed If You Use This.


Manual Template Edit- Not usually needed:

Edit the forumjump template:

In Admin CP -> Style Manager ->[Choose Your Template] -> Edit Templates -> forumjump

Find the line (or something similar too):

<a href="{vb:raw navpopup.link}" class="popupctrl"><span class="ctrlcontainer">{vb:raw navpopup.title}</span></a>

Below it Add:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT=='showthread' OR THIS_SCRIPT=='forumdisplay'"><a href="forumdisplay.php?f={vb:raw goforum}" class="textcontrol" onclick="document.location='forumdisplay.php?f={vb:raw goforum}';return false;">Go</a></vb:if>

Save Changes... Repeat for all styles you use. (The mod still needs to be installed for this to work.)

Please post this issue in the "Site Feedback" forum. The admins won't see it here.

Looks like it is a known issue.

Installed...working on 4.1.10 Without Manual Template Edit !!!

Worked like a charm on 4.1.12

Maybe I didn't know what I was doing, but manual didn't work. The links took me back to invalid forum id's...but the mod upload was painless.

One of my members has been requesting that the drop down positioning be centered around the selected forum. i.e. the current one. When one clicks on the drop down list it displays from the top position instead of positioning the cursor to the current forum.

I suspect that is pretty difficult since it looks like the whole forumjump has been written to a variable.

I believe that in v3, it worked as my member remembers. When you clicked on forumjump you were looking at the full list but positioned to the current forum.

Works perfectly! Love this. Thanks!

Understood but not something this mod will ever change.

Hi BOP

Put this in my 4.2 works fine but gave me two go buttons

How can I fix please?

[BirdOPrey5]

It looks like you made the manual template edit when you didn't have to. Undo the edit.

Using it on 4.2... Saw it on another 4.2 site working... What am I missing?
