W13 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 This is so easy to do, I don't even mind if it's a feature or not. (you don't even need to touch your keyboard, 2 mouse-clicks!) Only problem is, since I have this feature on my own forums, I'm so used to it that I always get a little annoyed at other forums (like this one!) that don't have that feature.I'm talking about the bread-crumb navigation:> Invision Power Services > Invision Power Services, Inc. > IPS Company Feedback > IP.BoardIt's at the top, but not at the bottom. I use it extensively to navigate around - and mostly, from the bottom (after I've read a topic, obviously!)You can see a demo on my forum http://www.zybez.net/communityIt's pretty easy to do it yourself (just copy-paste the <% NAVIGATION %> after <% BOARD %> in header-footer-wrapper)... but I'd still like it as a standard feature. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I agree, the nav shouldn't be moved though, duplicated.Think about it, after reading the topic, what do you do? Scroll right up to the top of the page and go somewhere via the nav bar :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyF Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 There is an article over at IPSB about this somewhere, was quite a simple thing to add. II cant seem to find it at the moment... (The article i mean , not IPSB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digi Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Open the skin editor and edit the board header/footer wrapper. Find the <%NAVIGATION%> macro and position it on the site how you like. You can even use it within actual skin templates should you only want it to appear is certain locations.Anyway, this seems more a personal preference to me rather than a needed adjustment to the default skin. I'd rather not have it listed more than once. So -- from me on this ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Yeah, I personally don't see much point in adding/duplicating it to the bottom of the page myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W13 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Yeah, I personally don't see much point in adding/duplicating it to the bottom of the page myself.When I added it, I didn't think I'd use it - but after trying it for a while, I use the bottom bread-crumb-nav maybe twice as much as I use the top one.

Quillz Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I really don't think this needs to be added as a standard feature, but if you do want a navigation bar on the bottom, then go for it! It's very simple to add one yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon C Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 When I added it, I didn't think I'd use it - but after trying it for a while, I use the bottom bread-crumb-nav maybe twice as much as I use the top one.I would use the bottom breadcrumb navigation if it was available as a standard feature, and feel it would be fairly useful, as sometimes I find myself looking for a breadcrumb navigation at the bottom after I've finished reading a topic, but alas, to no avail.

W13 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Yeah, I know how to add it myself- but I can only add it to the forums where I am an admin. What about other forums I visit- such as this?! :-) If it's a standard feature, then I can actually use it everywhere. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBERHOST.NET Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hack to use this feature everywhere: when you reach the bottom of the page, tap the "Home" key once to reveal the bread-crumb nav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nils Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Is the id="navbar" used somewhere other than css (eg. Javascript) or can we safely remove it? how can we edit the links in the navigation bar?[I want to add rel="nofollow" to all the links]Why would you want to do that?!

rct2·com Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hack to use this feature everywhere: when you reach the bottom of the page, tap the "Home" key once to reveal the bread-crumb nav. Or just click on the button in the last post on the page.Having said that, I also add the navigation bar at the bottom too by editing the skin's board wrapper.
