The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

About Developer · **Released**: 11-06-2011

ThreadNav(2.1) puts almost all the information in New Posts or Today's Posts in a compact scrolling navigation bar in the thread display page (showthread). The location in showthread depends on the user's thread viewing settings. Buttons on either end scroll the list of new posts right or left and additional information is available in a drop down box when you hover over the lower portion of the post cell. The list automatically refreshes using AJAX once a minute (default).

In Version 2.1 you can now place ThreadNav in any vBulletin page. A simple setting will put it in Forum Home (index) and it can be added to other pages with a simple template edit (See instuctions in ThreadNav settings in your AdminCP for edits).

Updated Version 2.1
I've updated this recently to make it fully compatible with updates to Thread & Forum Ignore System, if it is installed. I also got rid of the text jiggle in some browsers when you hover over a cell to display the drop box.

Features:

General:

Searches for New Posts or Today's Posts
List scrolls right or left with buttons at ends
Automatically refreshes once a minute (default setting)
Cell width adjusts automatically to fit available space
Hovering over lower portion of partially exposed cell
snaps the cell into full view
Automatically integrates with Thread & Forum Ignore System
if installed

In the cell for each thread:

Go to first unread post button (New Posts only)
Thread link goes to either first or last post depending
on user settings for viewing threads
Name of last poster
Last post button

In the drop down box:

Date/time
Forum
Thread starter
Peplies
Views
Links for previewing first and last posts

User settings:

Turn ThreadNav off
Get New Posts
Get Today's Posts

Admin Control Panel:

On/off
Other pages to show ThreadNav
Set refresh interval
Maximum minutes ThreadNav will continue refreshing
Allow or disallow guests to see ThreadNav
Maximum number of posts to show
Minimum width of each post cell.
Excluded forums

Upgrading to version 2.0

Upload the new product xml file in Plugins & Products and overwrite the old file.
Be sure to revert all threadnav templates, including threadnav.css.
Some pages will require simple template edits. See the ThreadNav setting sin the Admin CP for more information.

Bugs Fixed:

Now compatible with vBSEO
All text in phrases
More tips on styling in threadnav.css
Resolved major incompatibilities with some styles
Miscellaneous aesthetic changes
Resolved misalignment of borders of cell and drop box in some styles
Improved closing of drop boxes when you mouse out
Fixed more incompatibility issues with some some styles
Fixed incompatibility issue with IE (GRRRRRRRRRR....)
Overhauled system for opening and closing drop boxes

Style is based on borders, font-color and background-colors of postbits. For styles with darker colors a note at the top of threadnav.css gives helpful styling tips. If you need to add space above or below ThreadNav see top of threadnav.css. Don't use line breaks.

Installation is simple: upload the XML file to Products and you're ready to go -- no external files or edits.

Version 2.0 was developed in vB4.2.2 but should work in any vB4 version.

Okay so all the vbseo problems are resolved (???) I really have to get some other work done but I'll have an improved xml file up soon.

And ellinofatsa, as soon as I get the file fixed I'll address your problem.

Nacho Vidal · #43 11-07-2011, 06:28 PM

Great job nerbert! Things seem sorted here, cheers!

Yes it's working so far haven't found no issues , just a note certain custom styles will not look right thought so maybe a fix on that part but everything else seems to work great job!:up:

I have the new xml file available. I suggest everyone upload the new one and overwrite the old version. If you have changed any templates be sure to revert them.

If you need to add space above or below ThreadNav please see the note at the top of the "threadnav.css" template

Sorry I didn't respond earlier. When you brought up this issue I remembered I hadn't made put all the text into phrases and I wanted to fix the vBSEO problem before modifying the file.

So, first upload the new xml file and set it to overwrite the original. Now go to Search In Phrases.

Search for Text: TN_

Phrase Type: GLOBAL

Search in ... Phrase Variable Name Only

You'll get a list of all the text in ThreadNav. Beyond that I really don't know what to do, I have only English on my site and the only Greek I know is

I η hotdog for lunch.

Erica1977, try this and if it works I'll update the file.

Use this code

PHP Code:


			
                                cells[i].childNodes[1].style.width=''+(width+12)+'px';

                                cells[i].childNodes[3].style.width=''+(width+12)+'px';

to modify the lower part of function setWidth() to look like this:

PHP Code:


			
    function setWidth() {

        for(i=0; i<cells.length; i++) {

            if(is_ie) {

                cells[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].style.width=''+width+'px';

                cells[i].childNodes[0].childNodes[1].style.width=''+width+'px';

                cells[i].childNodes[1].childNodes[1].style.width=''+width+'px'

                cells[i].childNodes[2].style.width=''+(width+47)+'px';

            }

            else {

                 cells[i].childNodes[1].style.width=''+(width+12)+'px';

                 cells[i].childNodes[3].style.width=''+(width+12)+'px';

                //cells[i].childNodes[1].childNodes[1].style.width=''+width+'px';

                //cells[i].childNodes[1].childNodes[3].style.width=''+width+'px';

                //cells[i].childNodes[3].childNodes[1].style.width=''+width+'px'

                cells[i].childNodes[5].style.width=''+(width+47)+'px';

            }

        }

    }

no i use f,f but still doesnt work i just dont get it thanks for trying to help.

nerbert · #49 11-07-2011, 10:26 PM

I'll keep trying. I've never been happy with that complicated method for setting the width. The problem is that for some reason I can't specify the width of table cells, perhaps because the table is about 10 000 px wide.

I do want this to work for everyone.

FReeSTER · #50 11-07-2011, 11:24 PM

I havent installed this but i have to say WoW for the great MOD and for the support you giving to it.

I will try later as all the bugs are fix

venom2124 · #51 11-08-2011, 03:20 AM

Looks like a cool mod. Thanks
