Lower Breadcrumbs
Mod Version: 1.4, by Lynne

This just adds the breadcrumbs to the bottom of the showthread page. I saw this http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?326003-Lower-Breadcrumbs at vb.com and then decided to share it as I wrote it for myself.



Version History:
1.0 2009-12-01: initial release by Lynne at vbulletin.org (pre Beta 5)
1.1 2009-12-04: fixed the issue regarding a single apostrophe in a thread or forum title (Thanks go to BBR-APBT for the fix!) (Beta 5)
1.2 2009-12-12: small template change for new release, RC2 (RC2)
1.3 2009-05-10: added lower breadcrumbs to forumdisplay page (up to 4.0.7)
1.4 2009-10-21: fixed for use in 4.0.8 (4.0.8)

To install:

1. Import product-lynne_lower_breadcrumbs.xml


To uninstall:

1. Uninstall "Lower Breadcrumbs"

Optional:

Added in 1.1: in the plugin, Add Lower Breadcrumbs to SHOWTHREAD template, you will see the following lines:

If you wish to have the Breadcrumbs above the Quick Reply box, then uncomment that line and comment out the one to put it above the Thread Information box, like this:

Thanks to Alan for instructions to add to that location, see this post -

Thank you Lynne for excellent mod, it's very useful, it really makes easier to know where someone is. One of my users just asked for lower breadcrumb, I immediately remembered your mod.

Also, I added one more location to put lower breadcrumb in, just below posts (above inline moderation, above reply button...).

To add this location add this code in plugin Add Lower Breadcrumbs to SHOWTHREAD template:

Code:

// to put it just below posts
$find = '<div class="postlistfoot">';

Or use attached modified Lynne's mod, where it is enabled by default.

And again thanks to Alan, if you use microdata on your site and want the breadcrumbs to only show for logged in users, see this post -

That would probably create the same problem, but I just got idea that breadcrumb could be hidden from guests.

It would make it hidden from Google (and other search engines) also. And thus it would look like there's only one breadcrumb. Guests probably wouldn't use it as much as registered users who participate more actively.

And thanks for that info about {vb:raw breadcrumbs}, but for some reason it doesn't work.

So I further modified your great mod and added conditional in your template, that lower breadcrumb is shown only to members:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['member']">Show this to members only</vb:if>

Now only members see lower breadcrumb and Google sees microdata just as it should. If anyone want to use microdata information, I attached modified version (or of course, anyone can add conditional by themselves)
