vB 3.6.2 - Navbar Question

[smokn28]

I've added a link to PhotoPost from my vB navbar which works great however, when a user is in PhotoPost and clicks on another link that is another hack on the site, I get an error opening the page. The problem is the path...

For instance, I have added a hack called Donate. When a member is in the PhotoPost and then clicks to the Donate hack, here's the path it gives as an error:

http://www.f-bodyhideout.com/forums/...llspaypal.php?

The correct url should be: http://www.f-bodyhideout.com/forums/billspaypal.php?

It's doing this for all my hacks....it wants to put the hacks main page file as if it's a subdirectory off of PhotoPost.

I'm sure it's an easy fix....but I'm lost on it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

just change the urls from relative to absolute in the navbar, so instead of ./whatever.php its http://www.yoursite/folder/whatever.php

For instance.....the Donate hack link in my navbar is coded as such:

<!-- PayPal Donations -->
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="billspaypal.php?">$vbphrase[billspp_donate]</a></td>
<!-- /PayPal Donations -->

I'm worried if I change this....it may not show up where that user is in the Who's Online. I don't know much about .php....so I may be totally off here.

If it won't throw my Who's Online location off....what exactly should I change this to?

Thanks

You must make sure any relative links in your vbulletin navbar are full url's. We autorewrite the vbulletin normal links but links you add need to be full url so the files can be found.

I understand that.....but in my previous post I am concerned about breaking something in the code.

who's online is something totally different for some custom page to show up in vb's whos online and them to know the location you need to write a hack
