How do I chnage where the breadcrumb link goes ?

flavoflav · January 2nd, 2008, 07:27 PM

Right now the breadcrumb in my VBgallery goes to the root of my web site - I want it to go to my forums instead - how would I chnage that?

Thanks

Same question. I'm running vBulletin 3.7.1 patch 2 and vBGallery 2.4.3. When running previous versions I found instructions somewhere on these forums for changing the base breadcrumb link from HOME to FORUMS. Changed the link title and the URL where the link pointed. May have been a template change, but it has been a long time and I don't remember for sure.

Searched these forums again now and can only find instructions for header replacements and navbar replacements. I don't believe these are the solutions I'm looking for.

Help will be appreciated. Thank you.

I found the solution on my own. Edited a couple things in gallery_global.php

Quote:

$navreplace['replace'] = array(
'"' . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/clientscript',
'\'' . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/misc.php',
iif($ppg_options['gallery_navbarhomelink'], '$GLOBALS[\'vbulletin\']->options[\'bbtitle\']', '$GLOBALS[\'ppg_options\'][\'gallery_title\']'),
iif($ppg_options['gallery_navbarhomelink'], '$GLOBALS[\'vbulletin\']->options[\'bburl\'] . "', '$GLOBALS[\'ppg_options\'][\'gallery_url\'] . "/index.php')
);

However, in the process I discovered other links from my gallery don't work. Examples include link to blogs and social groups. vBGallery is installed in a directory called Gallery in root, not in Forum directory. Where do I go to change the relative URL?

Figured this one out, too.

Added: group.php and album.php to the NavBar Replacements list to fix the links from vBGallery to Social Groups and Profile Albums.

Fixing link from vBGallery to Blogs required changing to full URL in Blog Templates >> blog_navbar_link (http://www.domain.com/forums/blog.php)

The blog and project tools needs a plugin to change the URL's as they load before the gallery can use the AdminCP replacements. I'll get the code for that.

VB Blog navbar link, search
Project tools navbar link, search

/includes/vbgallery/global_setup_complete.php

After:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Add for Blog:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Add for Project Tools:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

-----------------------------

We also need to change the Execution Order of a plugin.

AdminCP => Plugins & Products => Plugin Manager
- Product : PhotoPost vBGallery
-- Navbar Integration [edit]
--- Execution Order: 4
[save]

Do I need to add the code you provided for blog and undo the absolute URL that I added to the blog_navbar_link template? Or add the code and leave the absolute URL?

Zachariah · June 19th, 2008, 10:52 AM

No need to edit the template with that code. You can undo the edit.

Sorry, I'm confused. If I don't edit the template with the code you provided and go back and undo my URL edit, won't I be reverting back to the problem I was having with the blog link?

No problem.

To fix VB Blog navbar link, search.

VB Blog navbar link, search

Use FTP:
Edit: /forums/includes/vbgallery/global_setup_complete.php

After:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Add for Blog:

============================

This will auto add the forums URL.
You can revert the template change you did.

I will include this in the next version of the gallery.

Hmmm ...

I inserted your lines of code to ../global_setup_complete.php, then undid my edit to the blog_navbar_link template. As a result, mouseover "Blogs" when in the gallery went back to showing ../gallery/blog.php instead of ../forums/blog.php. Plus, It caused error messages to flash temporarily across the top of the page.

If either solution should work, I think I'll stick with my absolute URL in the template.
