Show Thread Enhancements - Lower Breadcrumbs

The Idea:
A lot of the time I get to the bottom of reading threads and then find myself scrolling all the way back up to use the breadcrumbs in the Navbar.

I had noticed a mod for this vB3.5 vB3.6 so though I'd have a bash at making my own for vB3.7.x



Description:
This modification adds a secondary breadcrumbs to the bottom of Forum Display & Showthread.




Installation Instructions:
Goto -> AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Products]

• Import the product "product-lowerbreadcrumbs.xml"

If upgrading remember to set 'Allow Overwrite' to YES.

DONE!


AdminCP Settings:
Goto -> AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> Lower Breadcrumbs -> FORUMDISPLAY (on/off) & SHOWTHREAD (on/off)

Changelog:

Version 1.0.0 - Initial release.
Version 1.1.0 - Added collapsible border and incorporated title.
Version 1.1.1 - Added Forum Display function too. (thanks to inciarco)
Version 1.1.2 - Added separate AdminCP options to enable/disable FORUMDISPLAY & SHOWTHREAD.


Please MARK AS INSTALLED & NOMINATE FOR MOTM

Enjoy.

Great Mod. Very Useful. :up:

I'd like to share a Complement that perhaps you can include on your Next Update, and is the Creation of another optional Plugin for ForumDisplay:

In Plugins & Products -> Add New Plugin

Product: Select Lower Breadcrumbs
Hook Location: forumdisplay_start
Title: Lower Breadcrumbs: Show Lower Breadcrumbs - ForumDisplay
Execution Order: 5

Plugin PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->options['lwrbrdcms'])
{
	$search_text = '<!-- / controls below thread list -->';
	$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY'] = str_replace($search_text,$search_text . fetch_template('lower_breadcrumbs'),$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY']);
}

Plugin is Active: Select Yes

And then Click Save

After this the New Plugin will be listed among the other Two Plugins of this Mod, and is will use the "lower_breadcrumbs" Template to Display it under the Code "<!-- / controls below thread list -->" in the ForumDisplay Template, (below the Thread List), which is the one you access every time you enter a Forum and Sub-Forum in your Community.

My Best Regards.

*UPDATE*

Excellent idea inciaro!

Why I didn't think of that i'll never know?

I've implemented this into the product. (version 1.1.1)

Regards, Howell :up:

I got it to work with 3.8.0 and works fine! Thanks.

Had to change one tiny bit in the xml file is all.

Change:

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.7.0" maxversion="3.7.999" />

to

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.7.0" maxversion="3.8.001" />

I was going to release the version for 3.8.0 this week.

This version will work fine (has done on my test board) as all you need to do is change the minimum version in the product XML.

sweet.

I will. It is a wonderful mod.

When you release it I will mark it as installed under the 3.8 version and MOTM nominate it as well.

Thanks for the work.
