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

I have a little problem with the plugin . I set up the breadcrumbs to be shown above the quick edit, when I'm not logged in, it will not show the lower breadcrums. I think this hapens because the editor is not showed for unregistered users. Thaaks . I hope that my english is not so bad.

You could try using this in the "Add Lower Breadcrumbs to SHOWTHREAD template" plugin instead:

$find = '<!-- / next / previous links -->';

That is since 4.1.11 I think. I not fussed as the lower breadcrumbs are now a 'benefit' to real members

When I add it to my 4.1.11 forum it stops the posts in all the forums being clickable. I've disabled the other few mods that I have but it still wont work.

I have it working just fine on my showthread page on a totally default 4.1.11 forum. I have the breadcrumbs located just above quick reply. Where do you have them? And does it work on a totally default style?

[Daisyboo]

They are above the quick reply box and yes they work in the default style. I'm using CinemaPink if you've heard of that?

[Lynne]

If they work in the default style, then this is an issue with your custom style.

I have had this installed since 4.0 and it has been great. I have 4.2.0 patch 2 now. A poster noticed today the when you view a locked thread the lower bread crumbs are missing. When I view it as an admin I see them but when I run a test user with no admin permissions the bread crumbs are missing in locked threads.

I am not sure what is doing this? I installed it per the directions on this page, I can't find any but is there a user permission that controls that?

FYI here is the add request in JIRA for this. Lynn can you add this link to the front page of this add on?

Have you edited the plugin so that it is showing above Quick Reply? If so, quick reply doesn't appear in locked threads so that could be why it doesn't show for normal users

I am not sure it has been so long. It does show above quick reply. I will look in to see what I did. Is there away to keep the code seperate from quick reply? I would like it to show up on closed threads.
