Show Thread Enhancements - Lower Breadcrumbs

This just adds the breadcrumbs to the bottom of the showthread page. I saw this thread over at vb.com and then decided to share it as I wrote it for myself.






Version History:
1.0 2009-12-01: initial release by Lynne at vbulletin.org (pre Beta 5)
1.1 2009-12-04: fixed the issue regarding a single apostrophe in a thread or forum title (Thanks go to BBR-APBT for the fix!) (Beta 5)
1.2 2009-12-12: small template change for new release, RC2 (RC2)
1.3 2009-05-10: added lower breadcrumbs to forumdisplay page (up to 4.0.7)
1.4 2009-10-21: fixed for use in 4.0.8 (4.0.8)


To install:

1. Import product-lynne_lower_breadcrumbs.xml


To uninstall:

1. Uninstall "Lower Breadcrumbs"


Optional:

Added in 1.1: in the plugin, Add Lower Breadcrumbs to SHOWTHREAD template, you will see the following lines:

PHP Code:

// to put it above the Quick Reply box
//$find = '<!-- scripts for quick reply and quick edit -->'; 
// to put it above the Thread Information box
$find = '<div id="thread_info" class="thread_info block">'; 


If you wish to have the Breadcrumbs above the Quick Reply box, then uncomment that line and comment out the one to put it above the Thread Information box, like this:

PHP Code:

// to put it above the Quick Reply box
$find = '<!-- scripts for quick reply and quick edit -->'; 
// to put it above the Thread Information box
//$find = '<div id="thread_info" class="thread_info block">';

Thanks to Alan for instructions to add to that location, see this post - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=230

And again thanks to Alan, if you use microdata on your site and want the breadcrumbs to only show for logged in users, see this post - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=234

A small issue with your latest update to this mod: the forumdisplay page now has an uncached template.

Replace

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread') 


with

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay') 


in the cache_templates plugin.

I was just coming to post this 'bug'. Thanks!

A word of caution ....

I'm using 4.0.4pl1 and have been using this mod for some time, as well as the Thank You mod going back years.

The moment I made this "cache" change manually to the plugin, I started getting reports from members that the Thank You function was crashing causing what appears to be XML code to spill to their screens.

I reverted the change above to the original state and the complaints stopped ...

The moral? If you make the change above and use the Thank You mod as well, I'd suggest some thorough testing be done. I have no idea why such a simple change would affect another mod in this way, but it's too coincidental.

Regards,
Badger

This works well in Firefox but doesn't seem to work for me in IE if I use the // to put it above the Quick Reply box option for SHOWTHREAD view - works ok with it above the thread information box in IE but not above quick reply

EDIT: Found out this is only a problem if you DO NOT use the Quick Reply functionality

Feeling dumb here...but what's a "breadcrumb"?

Also, comparing the image to what I see on my board...I'm not noticing a difference.

Obviously, I'm missing something here.

Installed, thank you!

Thanks for the mod.

I think I found a bug, wuich could be related to this:

http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-8211

On forumdisplay if you do not have quick forum jump enabled the breadcrumb will have the post new thread button on top of it

[Xencored]

Awesome looks MUCH! better thanks Lynne

You already have the row of links at the "bottom" of the threads? That's what this does and that's what the image is showing.
