About Developer · **Released**: 11-06-2011

ThreadNav(2.1) puts almost all the information in New Posts or Today's Posts in a compact scrolling navigation bar in the thread display page (showthread). The location in showthread depends on the user's thread viewing settings. Buttons on either end scroll the list of new posts right or left and additional information is available in a drop down box when you hover over the lower portion of the post cell. The list automatically refreshes using AJAX once a minute (default).

In Version 2.1 you can now place ThreadNav in any vBulletin page. A simple setting will put it in Forum Home (index) and it can be added to other pages with a simple template edit (See instuctions in ThreadNav settings in your AdminCP for edits).

Updated Version 2.1
I've updated this recently to make it fully compatible with updates to Thread & Forum Ignore System, if it is installed. I also got rid of the text jiggle in some browsers when you hover over a cell to display the drop box.

Features:

General:

Searches for New Posts or Today's Posts
List scrolls right or left with buttons at ends
Automatically refreshes once a minute (default setting)
Cell width adjusts automatically to fit available space
Hovering over lower portion of partially exposed cell
snaps the cell into full view
Automatically integrates with Thread & Forum Ignore System
if installed

In the cell for each thread:

Go to first unread post button (New Posts only)
Thread link goes to either first or last post depending
on user settings for viewing threads
Name of last poster
Last post button

In the drop down box:

Date/time
Forum
Thread starter
Peplies
Views
Links for previewing first and last posts

User settings:

Turn ThreadNav off
Get New Posts
Get Today's Posts

Admin Control Panel:

On/off
Other pages to show ThreadNav
Set refresh interval
Maximum minutes ThreadNav will continue refreshing
Allow or disallow guests to see ThreadNav
Maximum number of posts to show
Minimum width of each post cell.
Excluded forums

Upgrading to version 2.0

Upload the new product xml file in Plugins & Products and overwrite the old file.
Be sure to revert all threadnav templates, including threadnav.css.
Some pages will require simple template edits. See the ThreadNav setting sin the Admin CP for more information.

Bugs Fixed:

Now compatible with vBSEO
All text in phrases
More tips on styling in threadnav.css
Resolved major incompatibilities with some styles
Miscellaneous aesthetic changes
Resolved misalignment of borders of cell and drop box in some styles
Improved closing of drop boxes when you mouse out
Fixed more incompatibility issues with some some styles
Fixed incompatibility issue with IE (GRRRRRRRRRR....)
Overhauled system for opening and closing drop boxes

Style is based on borders, font-color and background-colors of postbits. For styles with darker colors a note at the top of threadnav.css gives helpful styling tips. If you need to add space above or below ThreadNav see top of threadnav.css. Don't use line breaks.

Installation is simple: upload the XML file to Products and you're ready to go -- no external files or edits.

Version 2.0 was developed in vB4.2.2 but should work in any vB4 version.

The links work apart from the small button buy the side of the link to take you to the first post.

However, a bigger issues has appeard in that pasted text from other sources now has black diamonds with ? in the middle?

See the attached screenshot!

The diamonds go when the mod is disabled!

Sorry for giving you a headache!

This is a shot in the dark, but try this:

In "threadnav" template scroll near the bottom and find function setWidth()

find

Code:

			if(cells[i].childNodes.length<5) {

and change it to this

Code:

			if(is_ie) {

Erica1977 · #34 11-07-2011, 05:24 PM

For your "bigger issue" try going to the "ThreadNav Search" plug in and comment out the second line like this:

PHP Code:


			
//header('Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');

That line was suggested to me by another programmer to fix a bug in Internet Explorer (Damned IE!)

As soon as I get all these bugs fixed I'll update the xml file

Erica1977 · #37 11-07-2011, 05:37 PM

another bug if you click the icon arrow by the text link takes you to invalid page.

Erica1977 · #38 11-07-2011, 05:39 PM

the arrow that says go to unread thread will take you to invalid page.

Just curious as the Coder states thanks to those of you that have tested it "NOTE: This product is not compatible with vBSEO
I'll work on it and see what I can do."

Have you all tried to temporarily disable VBSEO and see if the mod works without it? If it does would it not make sense to allow this coder the time needed to fully work on a solution to the issue instead of constantly pointing out more errors associated with the use of VBSEO?.
