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

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

Thanks in advance!

Open the plugin "Add Lower Breadcrumbs to SHOWTHREAD template" and modify these lines to look like this:

// 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">';

Did you try editing the file at all? I don't know why you would get that error. I would try redownloading it and try uploading it again.

Thank you sooo much! It worked like a charm!

I am very new to this, and your help is greatly appreciated!

Awesome mod!

That's really more of a CSS thing. On my default install, I can just add this to additional.css and it will float right:

.breadcrumbs {float:right;}

If you only want that bottom breadcrumb to float right, you will have to edit the template and add the property inline.

Thank you ... I was looking for the place to enter additional css - I didn't realise earlier that it had moved to a template file
