[Block] Footer Menu

[Mick]

Name of Snippet: Footer Menu
SMF/TP versions tested: SMF2/TP1 beta 5-1
Block Type:: html & javascript
Author: BlueDevil
Other Requirements: SMF RC3 Installation
Demo: (look at footer) http://www.chevyavalancheclub.com/index.php

Description:
Don't like the "go to top" scripts?  Hate scrolling back to the top after reading a long thread?

If you use SMF RC2 or SMF RC3, this little code will add a quick menu of your choice in the footer of your website.  It would make it easier for you and your forum members to navigate.

-Create an HTML block in "Bottom Panel Blocks" section and position it.
-Do not use title/frame styles
-Do not allow block to collapse
-Check All membergroups
-Check All actions and articles
-Display on all boards

Code Select Expand

<div class="buttonlist align_right">
<ul>
    <li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.chevyavalancheclub.com" class="button_strip_reply active"><span>Home</span></a></li>
    <li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.chevyavalancheclub.com/index.php?action=forum" class="button_strip_add_poll"><span>Community</span></a></li>

</ul>
</div>

Simply replace the menu names and links.   You can add as many as want.

That's it.  Have fun.

Mick,

Nice. Why don't you consider adding this to our new Block Code Snippets Board --> http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?board=216.0

You'll need to check out the Posting Guidelines for that board first as snippets added there must be approved first --> http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=31641.0

Im off limits on both links.

[ZarPrime]

Really?  Hmmm, could be.  That was setup by Ichbin and freddy as I recall.  Maybe one of them will put it in there for you or something.

The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you.

Must be the Alpha-Tester tag.

[ZarPrime]

No, I doubt that.  It may just not have been open to the public by Ichbin since there isn't too much in there yet.  Maybe Ichbin or Freddy will comment.

Try again, you should be able to access now.

[Mick]

Thank you, i see them now.

I edited my first post.  Is this being moved?  If so, do you mind cleaning these posts?

Thanx.

[IchBin]

No moving. This can be a topic for support. Topics in that board are moderated by the team and should not show up until we have approved them. You post it, I'll approve it. (if it's working the way we intend it too) lol.

Very cool snippet Mick!  I did something similar on AVS.  I edited the 'Go Up' and 'Go Down' links to make it look like this:

Go Down | Forum  | Unread Posts | 24 Hours | Last 100

In the Default theme edit the Display.template.php

Find

Code Select Expand

<strong>' . $txt['go_down'] . '</strong></a>

Add immediately after

Code Select Expand

| <a href="http://www.avalanchestyle.com/forum/index.php?action=forum"><b>Forum</b></a> | <a href="http://www.avalanchestyle.com/forum/index.php?action=unread"><b>Unread Posts</b></a> | <a href="http://www.avalanchestyle.com/forum/index.php?page=64;type=hours;count=24"><b>24 Hours</b></a> | <a href="http://www.avalanchestyle.com/forum/index.php?page=64;count=100"><b>Last 100</b></a>

This will show up on the top of the page.  Repeat the same thing for the bottom link.

<strong>' . $txt['go_up'] . '</strong></a>

It will look something like this.

Works nice. :up:

Had to make my links relative before they would work correctly, kept going to the home page when the full link was used.

Simple but effective

[othg_weasel]

Is there a way that you could make all the buttons come out one color?

see attached

[Mick]

I have not tried this but if you want them all 'blue'...

try replacing...

Code Select Expand

class="button_strip_add_poll">
for...

Code Select Expand

class="button_strip_reply active">

If that doesnt work, im afraid you'd have to add a new image and edit the CSS file.

Cool that worked great...
