vBadvanced CMPS Navigation v1.11 · **Released**: 09-10-2006

vBadvanced CMPS
Navigation v1.11

What does this hack do ?

This module allows a better integration of the navbar in vBadvanced CMPS portal. It changes the root of your forums to CMPS index page instead of your forumhome.

Case number 1 : you're on your portal page
The navbar will display the short welcome message with the name your website.

Case number 2 : you're on forumhome
The navbar will display the name of your site with the "forum" suffix.

You didn't catch a word of what i said. So just look at pictures

Install

To install this module, you have the choice between the automatic or the manual install. The second is to use when you have heavily made changes in your navbar template.

Automatic Install
Just import the xml product file. That's all.

Manual install
Edit the navbar template as follow.

Search :

Code:

                <td width="100%"><span class="navbar"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1">$vboptions[bbtitle]</a></span> $navbits[breadcrumb]</td>

Replace with :

Code:

<td width="100%"><span class="navbar"><a href="$vboptions[homeurl]$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="0">$vboptions[bbtitle]</a></span>
<if condition="defined('VB_AREA') AND in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('ajax','announcement','attachment','calendar','cron','editpost','faq','external','forumdisplay','image','index','infraction','inlinemod','login','joinrequests','member','memberlist','misc','moderation','moderator','newattachment','newreply','newthread','online','payment_gateway','payments','poll','postings','printthread','private','profile','register','report','reputation','search','sendmessage','showgroups','showpost','showthread','subscription','threadrate','usercp','usernote'))">
<span class="navbar"> > </span>
<span class="navbar"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1">$vbphrase[forum]</a></span></if> $navbits[breadcrumb]</td>

Search :

Code:

		<else />
			<div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></div>
		</if>

Replace with :

Code:

        <else />
<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" />
<span class="navbar">
    <if condition="defined('VB_AREA') AND in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('ajax','announcement','attachment','calendar','cron','editpost','faq','external','forumdisplay','image','index','infraction','inlinemod','login','joinrequests','member','memberlist','misc','moderation','moderator','newattachment','newreply','newthread','online','payment_gateway','payments','poll','postings','printthread','private','profile','register','report','reputation','search','sendmessage','showgroups','showpost','showthread','subscription','threadrate','usercp','usernote'))"><a href="$vboptions[homeurl]$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="0"></if>
    <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index'"><span style="font-size:10pt; padding-top:1px"><strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></span>
    <else />$vboptions[bbtitle]</a></if></span>
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'adv_index'">
<br /><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_finallink.gif" alt="" border="0" />
<span class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt; padding-top:1px"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1"></a><strong>$vbphrase[forum]</strong></span>
</if>
        </if>

N.B :

This hack can't be redistributed without my agreement.
I do not allow french "vb-ressources" forum to use it. For french forum, please go here.

What he means is to replace $vbphrase[forum] with the word home

not $vbphrase[home] but just ---> home <---

BSchrader · #63 02-14-2007, 05:58 PM

I understand now. Replacing $vbphrase[forum] with the word home does make a difference. It changes the name of the current location in the navbar.

That is not at all what I want to do. The current location default in the navbar is correct; but I need the displayed text mysite.com Forum changed to mysite.com Home.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway. I'm open to any others you might have.

Kiint · #64 02-14-2007, 09:28 PM

I suppose you could do something similar to what you originally did, but create a new phrase in Phrase Manager called Home with the description as "Home", with the phrase type set as Global.

And then change the code from $vbphrase[forum] to $vbphrase[home]

edit: ignore that, if i guess correctly you wish for the link to display as mysite.com Home > Forum not mysite.com Forum > Forum

Just edit the code from:

Code:

$replace[] = '<span class=\"navbar\"><a href=\"" . $GLOBALS[\'vbulletin\']->options[\'homeurl\'] . "" . $GLOBALS[\'vbulletin\']->session->vars[\'sessionurl_q\'] . "\" accesskey=\"0\">" . $GLOBALS[\'vbulletin\']->options[\'bbtitle\'] . "</a></span

>

to

Code:

$replace[] = '<span class=\"navbar\"><a href=\"" . $GLOBALS[\'vbulletin\']->options[\'homeurl\'] . "" . $GLOBALS[\'vbulletin\']->session->vars[\'sessionurl_q\'] . "\" accesskey=\"0\">" . $GLOBALS[\'vbulletin\']->options[\'bbtitle\'] . " Home" . "</a></span>

Notice the extra " Home" text added.

And also change your site name in the vBulletin Options, Site Name / URL / Contact Details from mysite.com Forums to mysite.com

I'm sorry, but I cannot find that code. It doesn't show up when I use Search in Templates or when I look through the navbar template. Could you clarify where it is or how to find it? Thanks.

Kiint · #67 02-18-2007, 07:18 PM

sure, simple steps.

go to your admin panel,
open up Plugins and Products
Click on Plugin Manager
Scroll down to CMPS naviguation module, click on [Edit]

Find

Code:

$replace[] = '<span class=\"navbar\"><a href=\"" . $GLOBALS[\'vbulletin\']->options[\'homeurl\'] . "" . $GLOBALS[\'vbulletin\']->session->vars[\'sessionurl_q\'] . "\" accesskey=\"0\">" . $GLOBALS[\'vbulletin\']->options[\'bbtitle\'] . "</a></span

(There is no search option for this, you will have to manually look into the code and find it)

Change it to:

Code:

$replace[] = '<span class=\"navbar\"><a href=\"" . $GLOBALS[\'vbulletin\']->options[\'homeurl\'] . "" . $GLOBALS[\'vbulletin\']->session->vars[\'sessionurl_q\'] . "\" accesskey=\"0\">" . $GLOBALS[\'vbulletin\']->options[\'bbtitle\'] . " Home" . "</a></span>

Notice the extra " Home" text added.

Now go to vBulletin Options in your admin control panel
Select Site Name / URL / Contact Details from the list
remove the word "Forums" from your Forum Name so that it appears as "mysite.com" and not "mysite.com Forums"

If this doesn't work then I'd suggest you spend some time looking at the code and figure it out as I'm no expert on this, I just tested and played with the code until I got the results you wanted, then changed it back once I knew it worked

BSchrader · #68 02-18-2007, 08:01 PM

Great Kiint, you nailed it! Now it works perfectly. Thanks for your help.

Masked Crusader · #69 02-21-2007, 02:23 PM

Works great! Clicked install.

Yup. Very nice.

Is it possible to change 'Forum' to something else? If so, where do I do that?
