Vertical site navigation

This hack requires one of the following to be installed:

AmyKhar's Right Column On Every Page
AmyKhar's Left Column On Every Page


Without sounding obvious, what this does is creates a vertical navigation system on your site. It can be used on either the left or right side depending on which of the above hacks are installed.

To install, download the text file and follow the instructions.

Template edits - 2
Phrase edits - 1

Screenshots of logged in and logged out are attached.

Don't forget that install button if you use this!



Just realised, I took the screenshots before changing the bar header. It now has the name of your site there - not block name!

ok, in the right_column (or left column if you are using that)

FIND

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="90%">

It's the second line, right after the opening <'br /'>

REPLACE WITH

<table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder" width="90%">

It gives it a shove to the right so the gap between the forumbits and navigation block is wider and the gap to the edge of the forum is matching with the left.

If you want to widen the block at all change the width setting in the above line. Don't use 100% though as that sticks it to the forumbits and looks awful!

Will there be any support for vBadvanced in the future?

[peterska2]

Possibly. I'll be looking into it once I'm up and running with my new site, so it'll probably be at some point next week.

<a href="http://biblocality.com/forums/" target="_blank">http://biblocality.com/forums/</a> The columns look great now. Thanks!

Is there a way to make the welcome_x phrase remain the same in the one spot, but not two lines in the vertical?

Plus, any recommendations for improvements?

Ok i installed it but the problem is that i was using a fixed size forum (width of 760), should i just change the width to something more? Or is there a better way around this? Thanks

[peterska2]

you will need to increase the width as the navigation bar has a width of 160 (or it could be 170) so it would make your forums tiny otherwise.

add wrap="no wrap" to the in the <td >. i think that should work. however, if someone's name is really long, it may push the box bigger...not sure.

Where's your forums at? Depending on your set up is how you will apply it.

By design this goes on every page replacing the links in the navbar.
