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

Indeed, but very easy to fix:
Find

PHP Code:

$find = '<div id="forum_info_options" class="forum_info">'; 


Replace with

PHP Code:

$find = '<div id="forum_info_options" class="forum_info block">'; 


Find

PHP Code:

$find = '<div id="thread_info" class="thread_info">'; 


Replace with

PHP Code:

$find = '<div id="thread_info" class="thread_info block">';

I fixed it before coming back to the thread to see your reminder. Luckily, I saw the reminder and immediately went back and added that. So, thank you very much for reminding me!!!!

Anyway, 1.4 is now uploaded.

Thanks, Lynne! This mod is a big hit on our forum. I had done it manually under 3.8, but not thirty minutes after updating our forum to 4.0, I was getting e-mails to add back the feature! Thanks for putting that together.
