Mini Navbar: Breadcrumb at the bottom of a thread · **Released**: 10-14-2005

Description
There's no quick way to jump back to a forum when you've reached the bottom of a thread, so this adds a breadcrumb to the bottom of a thread.

v1.0.4
After snooping around for a little bit on these forums, I found a neat way to avoid template edits. Big thanks to PaulM and his method of doing this ^^.
Now this mod no longer requires a template modification!
I have removed the non-inline display method, so now it will only be "inline"
v1.0.3
Initial vB 3.6.x version

Please click "Install" if you have installed this mod! Thanks!

Ok Installed!

(Sorry for English)

Its posible put the mini navbar in all Forum Indexs? you can view this feature in a PhpBB forum.

Thanks

OK Installed but nothing

In your instructions is says

Hooks: Yes
Edit: 1 template (SHOWTHREAD)
Add: 1 template (navbar_mini)

Now what do we add in the NEW navbar_mini Template?

This is something I've been looking for for ages ...

Suggestion on the template edit though ... works better for me doing it this way

In SHOWTHREAD TEMPLATE;

find:

HTML Code:

</table>
<!-- / controls below postbits -->

Above add:

HTML Code:

<tr valign="bottom">
<td colspan="4" class="smallfont"><div align="right">$navbar_mini</div></td>
</tr>

I'm looking for this also.

But one question...why not just use the ForumJump menu?

I'd like to know this also ... :ermm:

Have you ever used this at TAZ? It's like that one...MUCH easier and THANK YOU!

Is there a way to make the code bolder and thicker? I love it but the font is hard to read. Maybe if you could bold it and use a larger font? Liz

Nothing, the .xml file adds the navbar_mini template for you.

As for displaying this on forum indexes, yes it can/will be done.

And making the font bigger/bold can/will be done as well.

(Sorry I have a lot of work to do tonight and it's already 3am T_T)

Oh and forum jump menu requires another step to open the dropdown and look for what forum, where as the breadcrumb already as the hierarchy laid out in text immediately after you're done reading a thread.

I prefer mine below the Previous Thread - Next Thread area.
Nice idea
