I want to place a "Forum Jump" link in the navigation bar as the one on Digital Point right before the "User CP" link. I searched at vbulletin.com and vbulletin.org but couldn't find anything. Has anyone any suggestion?
Coding something like this might get a little complicated, but if you're a coder, I could tell you where to look and how to get started. I honestly would not recommend attempting this unless you're familiar with the vBulletin template system and are a proficient coder in HTML/CSS and Javascript. If you're using the default vBulletin style, go to the style manager in the administration area, and there, go to the customize templates area. Look for a template in the list called "forumjump" There you'll find the default code for the forum drop menu. That shows you the default forum jump menu, which is a drop-down list using an HTML form. You can copy links, etc from this code, but you will not use the code directly. To find the navigation bar code, go to the Navigation/Breadcrumbs templates section and select the navbar template. There you will find the code for the navigation bar. You can simply copy and customize the AJAX implemented code for other drop down links in the default menu, such as the search bar and use the links from the original forum jump to achieve these results.
thx for the reply... I am pretty good with html/css but I am new to the vbulletin template. I guess that I will play around a bit. I am sure that a search box ajax code combined with the forum jump links can be achieved but as I said I am not very familiar with the vb template... that's way I was hopping to find the code already done by someone. I'm sure SP is not the only one that has that (since they don't want to divulge it)...
Ah no sorry, I haven't heard of any quick fix code or modifications that would do this sort of thing, off hand. I'm sure though that if you modify some of the existing code in the default template, you'll be able to achieve the desired results. (In other words, all of the functionality is there, you just have to customize it a bit to make it work the way you want.)
