Mini navbar at bottom of thread

Version 1.0, 01/27/04 - Written for RC3

My users wanted a navbar at the bottom of each thread, so they don't have to scroll back to the top of a page to navigate the site. Rather than put the large navbar, with all of the buttons and the userinfo box included, I created a stripped-down version of it (see image below of what it looks like on my site).

Just follow the simple instructions in the attached text file. There is 1 file edit, 1 new template, and 1 template edit.

You may PM me or post here for support if something's gone wrong, but it is currently working on my site.

Nice.

I did this myself on vB2, and as soon as I upgrade I will "install" this.

Thanks!

I don't see any point in hacking this in since all you need to do is add the HTML directly to the SHOWTHREAD template.

Ah, you probably could. I'm certainly no expert in hacking, this is just how I did it. It makes my code nice and clean, and much easier to move around if I need it moved somewhere else.

Cool hack! I love it.

no offense but this is easily done by using the nav bar bits alrdy in the templates but cool hack though

[TheEDIGuy]

I take no offense at all. I needed a way to do this, and this was the easiest way I found, and it works well. And now the lower navbit is in a separate template, so I can modify it extremely easily.

I'm sure there are different ways to accomplish the same thing. I'm just helping out those who need a way to do it and want to follow this example.

Thats a very good idea, but it would be better if this will be shown on the forumdisplay.php as well.

I'm actually having a problem. Its probably I did something retarded. I've been trying to do something like this for a while, and it keeps showing up incorrectly.

It will show the forum back link (javascript.history-1 business), then the board title, then nothing is in the next level. I hvae it placed in a templated called navbar2, and copied the code directly from the text file. Any clues?
