New thread button at bottom of post?

[beyond]

How do I do that? Can I?

Also how can I make it so that at the bottom of a post there is a link to the forum it's self rather than having to scroll back up to the top?

Check out my board and see if what I did is what you want.

[beyond]

yep dennis that'd be what I'm looking for. Is there any way to just put the link to the forum they're in instead of the jump menu though? lol my members are easily confused :P

[Dennis Olson]

If I understand correctly, you want to place a new breadcrumb entry on the footer that, when clicked, will take thde user back to the specific forum in which the thread they just read lives.

Right?

[beyond]

Yep I didn't know the technical terms.

[Dennis Olson]

A breadcrumb is a link that doesn't leave you "stranded" on a page, and having to hit the BACK button to get out. (You know, follow the trail of breadcrumbs, right...?)

I don't know the specific syntax you'd use (since I just have a single link), but it'd go in the FOOTER template I believe. Perhaps someone can provide you with the correct link syntax. (I might just employ it myself... heh)

OK in showthread.php I *think* I found the code that puts it in the navbar... Any one know how to edit this to make it show at the bottom of threads and where to place it?
[QUOTE]
get some vars from the referring page in order
// to put a nice back-to-forum link in the navbar
/*
unset($back);
if (strpos( [QUOTE]%4$s[*/QUOTE] SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], 'forumdisplay') !== false)
{
if ($vars = strchr(

%4$s[*/QUOTE] SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], '&'))
{
$pairs = explode('&', $vars);
foreach ($pairs AS $v)
{
$var = explode('=', $v);
if ($var[1] != '' and $var[0] != 'forumid')
{
$back["$var[0]"] = $var[1];
}
}
}
}

lol some of the coding showed up wrong sop I added * to the [*/quote]s

[Dennis Olson]

Is what you want what you saw on my forum? I can find that code for you if you like.

[beyond]

lol Dennis I'll take your code. I don't think that code was what I thought it was any how.

[Dennis Olson]

In the SHOWTHREAD template, find:

<td class="smallfont"><a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$LASTPOSTID"><if condition="$show['closethread']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /><else /><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadclosed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[closed_thread]" border="0" /></if></a>

Add (before the associated </td>)

<a href="newthread.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newthread&amp;f=$foruminfo[forumid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/newthread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_new_thread]" border="0" /></a>

[Dennis Olson]
