You Are Here mod

There is a short description in the function (source code) I provided earlier in this thread. Since it is just a function and no complete module (not even a php file), you have to add it to an existing module / create one.

When hooked properly, the function stores the Path in a global Variable, which can be used in your Templates.

I am sorry that I can not build a module for you right now.

Finally I created a working module around the above mentioned forumpath function.

The module creates an Array which represents the current position in the forum tree. The Array should be used within the desired Templates via a LOOP section. An example code is given in the module php file.

Feel free to use and modify it, if you have any suggestions please give feedback :)

PS: Tnx to D. Alan Stewart again ;)

Hi soeren,

with Phorum 5.1.x I get an error when the template is cached the first time: "Template warning: Missing argument for /loop statement".

For the template you propose:

{LOOP FPNAVFORUM}
  {IF FPNAVFORUM->forum_id}&gt;&nbsp;{/IF}<a href="{FPNAVFORUM->url}"><b>{FPNAVFORUM->name}</b></a>
{/LOOP}

I think it should be

{/LOOP FPNAVFORUM}

Bye
Oliver

Using Phorum since 7/2000: forum.langzeittest.de (actual version 5.2.23)
Modules "Made in Germany" for version 5.2: Author_as_Sender, CarCost, Close_Topic, Conceal_Message_Timestamp,
Format_Email, Index_Structure, Mailing_List, Pervasive_Forum, Spritmonitor, Terms_of_Service and German_Language_Files_Package.

Just installed the You Are Here dated 05/09/2004 on my 5.1.11 install and it works great! Exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks!

Hi soeren,

Thanks for the advice, I had not tested 5.1.x when I created the module.

Either this module does not work with PHP 5.1.15, or i do not know how to install it. I have downloaded tarball, unpacked it into mods folder, enabled forum path module but still nothing. Do i have to edit some .tpl files perhaps?

I have similar problem with poll module which i simply cannot install... :(

Any help will be apriciated! \o/

Yes, you have to extend header.tpl. See inline documentation in forumpath.php.

I recommend to add the following code add the fin of header.tpl:

        {IF FPNAVFORUM}
          {LOOP FPNAVFORUM}
            {IF FPNAVFORUM->forum_id}&gt;&nbsp;{/IF}<a href="{FPNAVFORUM->url}"><b>{FPNAVFORUM->name}</b></a>
          {/LOOP FPNAVFORUM}<br /><br />
        {/IF}

Regards
Oliver

I have installed the mod and it works fine except:

When I'm at the forum home page I see: "You are here: "
If I click on the phorum name (above general issues / gossip) I see : "You are here: Forum name"

Is it something to do with my path set up (the latter is index.php4) or should I tweak the setting in this mod? I suppose the best resolution would be for index.php?4 to be the forum home page.

Sorry, but I've slightly confused myself with this
