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

Instructions could be clearer but still, works well enough. Marked as installed.

Thanks...

In PHP, "//" comments out a line so that it is not parsed. So, if you want to uncomment it, you would remove the "//" at the front. And, conversely, to comment out a line, you would add a "//" to the beginning of the line and then that line is ignored by php.

Thank you once again... Always there....:up:

Sorry about this but I still don't get it.

To save confusion, this is currently what the script in question looks like.

<!-- scripts for quick reply and quick edit -->
{vb:raw vBeditTemplate.clientscript}
<vb:if condition="$show['quickedit']">
	<script type="text/javascript">
	<!--
	vB_AJAX_QuickEdit_Init('posts');
	//-->
	</script>
	<vb:if condition="!$show['quickreply']">
		{vb:raw editor_clientscript}
		{vb:raw editor_js}
	</vb:if>
</vb:if>
<!-- / scripts for quick reply and quick edit -->
</vb:if>

Could you possibly post the correct code to get it to show above the quick reply box.

Thank you...

You don't do anything to the template. You do something to the plugin. (And I do say exactly what to do in the original post in this thread.)

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">';

Well obviously and by all evidence, I am totally stupid and utterly incompetent....

Thank you for your time!

Well it works for me... Does the job but I am not as nerdy as some and therefore struggle with terms like 'un comment a line'.

Simple install and working...Although it is still not in the place I want it to be but eventually I will get it there.....

Very useful...
