Follow us links in line with breadbrumb · **Released**: 08-15-2014

I had been looking to place follow us links on the forum. Tried using advertisements, and sidebar but nothing seemed to much helpful, and also they don't show up on every page, as the follow us links should. Finally, I made this little modification in templates to place the Follow Us links in line with breadcrumb.
Snapshot:

I am going to share with you how I did it. it requires a little code editing in the admin section of your board, so if you're not comfortable doing that please don't try on a live board, or ask someone who can do it for you.

1. Go to the Styles and temples > Style manager > Choose "edit templates" for the style you want to edit

2. Click on CSS templates and a list will open up. Click on Additional.css and go to the end of the template.

3. Paste the following code there.

Code:

/* New Crumb */
#breadcrumbx {
    margin-bottom: 5px;
    width: auto;
}
#breadcrumbR {
    float: right;
}
#breadcrumbR li {
    display: inline;
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
#breadcrumbR ul {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

#breadcrumbL {
    float: left;
}

/* End New crumb */

4. We have prepared CSS for the modification, now we need to place the actual code in the templates.

5. Go to the "Navigation/breadcrumb templates" and click on it to open templates under it. Click on template named "navbar"

6. Find :

Code:

<div class="body_wrapper">

7. Below that code

Find:

Code:

<div id="breadcrumb" class="breadcrumb">
	<ul class="floatcontainer">
		<li class="navbithome"><a href="index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="1"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase home}" /></a></li>
		{vb:raw navbits.breadcrumb}
		{vb:raw navbits.lastelement}
	</ul>
	<hr />
</div>

8. Replace this code with the following code:

Code:

<div id="breadcrumbX">
<div id="breadcrumbL">
<div id="breadcrumb" class="breadcrumb">
<ul class="floatcontainer">
		<li class="navbithome"><a href="index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="1"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase home}" /></a></li>
		{vb:raw navbits.breadcrumb}
		{vb:raw navbits.lastelement}
	</ul><hr>
</div>
</div>

[Note: Change the links according to your own profiles.]

11. Open your forum and you should see the Follow Us! links in the right side of your breacrumb.

I like this mod but it's altered the layout of the forum house icon and split it over a couple of lines... Can anyone suggest how to realign it? Many thanks.

Flipfloptrader · #13 04-05-2017, 10:57 AM

It seems to have altered the way the structure is shown? Anyone any ideas please?

Hello AutoFx,
It seems you've not correctly placed the code. After going through your code I found and unnecessary </div> here:

Code:

<ul class="floatcontainer">
</div>

Once you remove it, half the job is done. It appears you might have made some other alternation outside of this hack too. I am not able to pin point exactly where. It would be best if you reset the changes to default and do it anew, the right way this time.

Thanks, I tried redoing it and it still left the structure as is unfortunately?

Because the code you used is still the same old wrong one. Please use the exact code that I've provided only replacing the social profile links.

Flipfloptrader · #17 04-06-2017, 06:12 AM

If I remove this mod it goes back to normal so would that suggest something within the code?

I copied your exact code and got this; I'm aware the icons are blank, I'm just doing this for exercise purposes:

Code:

<div id="navbar" class="navbar">
	<ul id="navtabs" class="navtabs floatcontainer<vb:if condition="$show['member'] AND $notifications_total"> notify</vb:if>">

	</ul>
	<vb:if condition="$vboptions['enablesearches']">

			<form action="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=process" method="post" id="navbar_search" class="navbar_search">

Please remove the code of this mod entirely, from html and css both. Let me see if I am able to replicate the problem at my end. Inform me as soon as you've done that.

Done, thanks.

Alright, try this. In the additional.css add the following code:

Code:

/* New Crumb */
#breadcrumbx {
    margin-bottom: 5px;
    width: auto;
}
#breadcrumbR {
    float: right;
}
#breadcrumbR li {
    display: inline;
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
#breadcrumbR ul {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

/* End New crumb */

While in the breadcrumb template replace the following code

Code:

<div id="breadcrumb" class="breadcrumb">
	<ul class="floatcontainer">
		<li class="navbithome"><a href="index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="1"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase home}" /></a></li>
		{vb:raw navbits.breadcrumb}
		{vb:raw navbits.lastelement}
	</ul>
	<hr />
</div>

With:

Code:

<div id="breadcrumbX">
<div id="breadcrumbL">
<div id="breadcrumb" class="breadcrumb">
<ul class="floatcontainer">
		<li class="navbithome"><a href="index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="1"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase home}" /></a></li>
		{vb:raw navbits.breadcrumb}
		{vb:raw navbits.lastelement}
	</ul><hr>
</div>
</div>

<div id="breadcrumbR">
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDdkrXiyRU57k7HulZCyA5g">
<img src="/social/youtube.png">
</a>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.instagram.com/flipfloptrader/">
<img src="/social/instagram.png">
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<br clear="all">

</div>

Follow the exact steps and you should be fine.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
