way home

[tony adams]

in vb 3 i did a small code mod, just duplicated something really, that allowed a quick way home after a post - see picture

i did this by making a new template from part of the navbar template and calling the new template in the SHOWTHREAD template

i hoped to do this in 3.5, but try as i will i cannot get it to work

if i call the navbar template later in SHOWTHREAD that is fine but anything else for example navbar_bottom will not work even if it is the same code as the original navbar template

i realise vb do not support code modification which is fine but can somebody at least tell me if i am wasting my time trying

as i said it worked fine in 3

thanks

tony

You would need to evaluate your new template someway, probably through a plugin. You can get support for this at vBulletin.org.

thanks for the reply Wayne - so are you saying it wil not work in 3.5 as it did in 3

plugins i have not got into yet, so i do not understand

It will work. However, just creating a template does not make it available to a page. You need to pull it out of the database so it can be inserted into the page via PHP.

A plugin is just a snippet of PHP code that allows you to extend vBulletin without modifying its core code.

There are tutorials and support for this at vBulletin.org.
