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 a problem, not having this installed kills me.

I will really like to have this mod on my site.

Is this good for 4.0 Gold already?

Will you recommend me to install it on my 4.0 Gold site?.

I cant find the place where you put the breadcrumb above the QUICK REPLY?

$find = '<!-- scripts for quick reply and quick edit -->';

<-- isnt anywhere?

edit: Ok i missed the part where you had to change the actual plugin file and not somewhere in the template..

Excellent! I had a user ask me to do this, but what do I know. Tagged for later use as I am waiting to get a different issue fixed before I add something else.

Installed, did this with a style edit on previous versions but a plugin does make things a bit easier.

Would you be able to so the same hack except for the forum display so that it shows under the post new thread button. I can't seem to get it to do that.

[Lynne]

Just create a plugin using forumdisplay_complete with the following:

PHP Code:

$newTemplate = vB_Template::create('navbar_breadcrumbs');
    $newTemplate->register('navbits', $navbits);
$breadcrumbs = $newTemplate->render();  
$breadcrumbs = str_replace("'", "'", $breadcrumbs);

// to put it above the Forum Information box
$find = '<div id="forum_info_options" class="forum_info">';

$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY'] = str_replace($find,$breadcrumbs.$find, $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY']); 


That should do it. I'll put it in my next version.

Awesome... Installed... Thank you!

I ended up redoing my vbulletin from scratch after it crashed... and i downloaded this mod again.... I honestly don't understand why its only 4 stars..... 5 stars in my book!

Can someone please help me understand in more detail how to make the breadcrumbs above the Quick Reply box?

Thanks in advance!
