Nav Bar Buttons

-heidi- · February 14th, 2009, 04:38 PM

Hi

I'm new here, and i have installed PP Pro yesterday.
But i want to ad nav bar (nav button bar), how do i do that?

Do i need enable vb? When i try to enable vB2 INTEGRATION i got this error on my gallery:

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home6/myphotos/public_html/header-inc.php on line 296

Warning: require(global.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home6/myphotos/public_html/header-inc.php on line 297

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home6/myphotos/public_html/header-inc.php on line 297

What do i have to do?
Have i do somthing wrong in the installation?

Thx

Are you integrating with vbulletin 2? I do not really know anyone who uses vbulletin 2 anymore since that product is very outdated.

That site is integrated with Vb3 enhanced, thus his layout is integrated into the style.

You could manually add a header to your site or edit your menubar.tmpl file in your templates folder to add your links.. but if you want the functions as your example, you will have to integrate with vb3

here is an example of menubar.tmpl. The links added are in bold. I have my site integrated with SMF - but considering VB3 in the future, for another site.. unless PP provides header integration for SMF ;-)

vbulletin forum software has to be purchased ;-)

You can not enable vb when you dont have vb.

You would have to create some sort of navbar in your header under edit header in admin.

Yes you can, if you purchase it first.. install it then reinstall PP to integrate with VB3 - I would make a decision before you start adding users - as it will effect the ownership of photos if you reinstall to integrate - users will loose their ownership on photos..

Yes a forum must exist before the gallery if you wish to integrate with a forum. Otherwise your gallery is a standalone. So really where you go with this idea will depend what way you go with things on your site.

and like I stated Heidi, you should try to make that decision before you decided to allow uploads for registered users - later integration requires some more things to be done.. it is easier to start with, than without,,,

Way more easier

There are quite a few threads on SWITCH INTEGRATION which show how detailed things can get if you dont do things correct from the start.
