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

Not working for me, Installed on VB4.2.2 patch level 1

I search for '"thread_info" class="thread_info block"' it find it in SHOWTHREAD

This is the code below. The XML file is installed.

<div id="thread_info" class="thread_info block">
<vb:if condition="$show['activeusers']">
<h4 class="threadinfohead blockhead">{vb:rawphrase thread_information}</h4>
<div id="thread_onlineusers" class="thread_info_block blockbody formcontrols">
<div class="inner_block">
<h5>{vb:rawphrase users_browsing_this_thread}</h5>
<div>
<p>{vb:rawphrase users_currently_browsing_x_y_z, {vb:raw totalonline}, {vb:raw numberregistered}, {vb:raw numberguest}}</p>
<ol class="commalist">
<vb:each from="activeusers" value="row">
<li><a class="username" href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw row}}">{vb:raw row.musername}</a>{vb:raw row.invisiblemark}{vb:raw row.buddymark}{vb:raw row.comma}</li>
</vb:each>
</ol>
</div>
</div>
</div>

How about a link to a showthread page with the default style?

Thanks for the fast reply.

The website is http://www.solent-renegades.co.uk/forum.php
An example thread, with breadcrumbs at the top, none at the bottom http://www.solent-renegades.co.uk/ge...tre-beast.html

Its like I haven't installed the XML install file at all. Although I can see it listed as an Installed Product in the Admin CP/ Plugins & Products / Manage Products page.

[Lynne]

That isn't a default style. And did you set it to show above the Quick Reply (which I can't see on that thread since I'm unregistered) or the Thread Information box?

[TransAmDan]

I've tried both above Thread Information and Quick Reply Box. Perhaps one of my other mods is stopping it working. Changing to 'bare' style is selectable at the bottom of the page, this is the VB default look.

There is no default style selectable on the bottom for me. There is no style chooser on the bottom for a logged out user.

Is there a way of limiting the number of tags which are shown using this mod? I would like to use a different number of tags to the full tags cloud. Thanks.

[Lynne]

There are no tags in the breadcrumbs, so I really don't know what you are asking about.

[kevius]

i have the same problem TranAmDan.

I found the other mod stopping working good is : vBFoster Lite mod.

When i disabled vBfoster all is OK !

[Alan_SP]

Thank you Lynne for excellent mod, it's very useful, it really makes easier to know where someone is. One of my users just asked for lower breadcrumb, I immediately remembered your mod.

Also, I added one more location to put lower breadcrumb in, just below posts (above inline moderation, above reply button...).

To add this location add this code in plugin Add Lower Breadcrumbs to SHOWTHREAD template:

// to put it just below posts
$find = '<div class="postlistfoot">';

Or use attached modified Lynne's mod, where it is enabled by default.
