Forum Home Enhancements - Home in Navbar

I haven't seen this posted on here before, and I have done it myself, so I thought I would share it with you all incase you ever wondered how to do it or wanted to do it.

Basically, this adds your homepage (http://www.yourdomain.com) to your navbar as 'Home'.

I don't think their is any need of a screenshot but if you want one, I'll post one.

This is especially good if you have a homepage full of activities or a templated professional homepage... This will give your users a very easy quick click to take them to your homepage.

In your navbar template, find:

PHP Code:

     <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td> 


Add above or below, whichever order you would prefer (mines above):

PHP Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$vboptions[homeurl]$session[sessionurl_q]">Home</a></td> 


Done.... Very simple but can be very handy to some people especially with very good homepages. Please click install! Thanks:up:

Create new profile field, it is your choice what you write in and the options you give. Make not of the field number.

Replace:

PHP Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$vboptions[homeurl]$session[sessionurl_q]">Home</a></td> 


Or if you haven't added home into your navbar yet...

Find:

PHP Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td> 


Add above or replace the Home you added:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['fieldXX']"><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$bbuserinfo[fieldXX]$session[sessionurl_q]">Home</a></td></if> 


Change the XX's to your field number.

Enjoy!

There should be a way to check if it is a valid url.

I know there is a way but im not sure how to make the Home button change to Forum and link to the forum when on the home page and vice-versa.

Can someone help?

Very simple, download a template. Design the PSD in Photoshop how you would like it, then slice the areas you want links, add the forum URL to the forums link... Then do this code for your navbar template, and you're all set up.

This is a simple hack, but VERY USEFUL when you use vbAdvanced!

Thank you so very much! :up:
