"Forum Link URL in Navbar" rather than "Homepage URL in Navbar"

[OtAkU]

If you enabled the "Homepage Link in Navbar", it will link back to the your "Homepage URL" defined in the vboptions. But i would recommend that the navbar would link back to the "Forum URL" instead of your "Homepage URL" since this is much better (because what if the forum has a subdomain that shows the real forum and the regular domain shows a portal). By doing this I think this method will be exactly the same way the forum navbar link shows on its pages. This is for peeps who prefer first link in the navbar area to link back to their forum url rather than their homepage url

in gallery_global.php

find:

Content visible to verified customers only.

replace with:

Content visible to verified customers only.

i think most people prefer the links in the nav area to be similar to the way the forums itself works. I was wondering if u can make this to be default

i decided to bring this code back up after i had trouble finding it.... thanks to oblivian_knight

FEEDBACK!! please

This is exactly what I was looking for. Our users are most likely to enter the gallery through the forums, so it is most intuitive for them to use the breadcrumbs to return to the forums.

Thank you.

Well I think this depends on the pages...
For me the forums are just a secondary product.. I even modified the breadcrumbs so that "forum" only shows up IF you are actually browsing the forums..

The MAIN thing for me are the profiles.. http://username.domain.com
IF a user goes to gallery its http://domain.com/gallery
Forums is http://domain.com/forums

The structure of the site is
Home
------ News
------ Profiles ------ User Control Panel
------ Gallery
------ Blogs
------ Forums
------ Chat

(havent finished the blog .htaccess to remove the "forum" in the url so the blog url will be http://domain.com/blogs/index.php instead of http://domain.com/forums/blog.php)

It took me quite some work to remove the word "forum" in the breadcrumbs from the Usercontrol Panel And from the vbulletin error messages!!!!!

The breadcrumbs on system and errormessages depend on THIS_SCRIPT where the error was generated...

Home --> Profiles --> Error or system message
or
Home --> Profiles --> UCP --> Error or system message
or
Home --> Forums --> Error or system message
or
Home --> Gallery --> Error or system message
or
Home --> Blog --> Error or system message
(still todo the contactus link.. that alway jumps back to forums-->contact us in the breadcrumbs IT should be.. if invoked from gallery: Home--> Gallery --Contact us AND then redirect to the last page where you were that worked°°)

So if a user goes "Home" he should go to http://domain.com
because from there he can go anywhere..


So please DONT make it default..

IF a user wants to jump from gallery to forums.. he can use a navbar link!!!

But i agree it can depend on the type of site.. so if you do it.. make it an option...
