How Do I link users back to the forums?

tcb · December 14th, 2004, 02:55 AM

Currently when people are on the (vbadvanced) homepage there's a link in the navbar to the forums (www.site.com/forum.php, named 'forums'). As soon as they're on the forum, that link is changed automatically to 'home' (directing people back to the mainpage www.site.com/index.php).

But now with the gallery, the link in the original navbar is 'home' and directing people to the home of the gallery (www.site.com/gallery/index.php). But the link on the new gallery navbar is also named 'home' and is directing people also to the mainpage of the gallery (www.site.com/gallery/index.php).

So how can I change the main navbar so that when you're in the gallery the link says 'forums' and direct people to www.site.com/forum.php?

I added a Gallery and Forums link in the forum Nav bar, like above your post.

This simply allows users to travel to whichever part of the site they want. My original alternative was a category with the url direct feature pointing to the gallery index.php. The category was simply labelled 'Gallery'.

Gallery Categories dont support this, so I then looked into editing the Forum Nav bar which is simple enough. Just go to your forum template in AdminCP and edit the header where your nav bar links are...

[Edit:] After reading through your question again, I dont think I completely answered your problem, but it may help.

You need to make sure the link is /index.php if you want it to always take you back to your homepage.

I can get it to link back to the homepage by the breadcrumb option in acp but how can i change that you go too the forum instead? Kinda like how it would display if you viewed the calender?

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

How can I make that go back to the forums instead of the homepage of the site basically

It's been moved to the gallery_global.php file.

Brian followed the code above and I get this.

Try making the change again. There's no way you would get a parse error if you found/replaced the exact code.

Those codes arent showin up in there either. You perhaps change the wording or anything?

Hi,

Im having the same problem and cant seem to find that code anywhere, just did a search of all the files and nothing.

Delw · February 10th, 2005, 12:15 PM

in the gallery rc3 its in gallery_global

I found that one or 2 of the words isnt exact so a search of the whole phrase wont work, do bits and piece till you find it.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.
