File Name: Bottom Bar 1.0.1

File Submitter: Nuclear General

File Submitted: 09 Mar 2010

File Category: Integration



This application will add a bar across the bottom of your forum that will give your members quick access to specific areas of IP.Board. The application is only available for logged in users (not for guests).

Along the left side of the bar you will have links to the forum index, editing your profile, viewing your profile, your blog (if installed), your downloads (if installed), and your gallery (if installed).

Along the right hand side are pop-out menus that provide enhanced access to a couple areas of your board.

  • Messenger: a pop-out menu gives your users quick access to their messenger inbox, listing all unread messages and a link to the inbox.
  • Friends: a pop-out menu displays all of your friends with an online/offline indicator, allowing your users to quickly browse their friends list and see who is presently online.
  • Favorites: a new feature included with Bottom Bar allows your users to add any page they are viewing to their "favorites". The pop-out displays all of your current favorites, allowing you to quickly return to a page you've added (or remove it from your favorites list).

Additionally, with IP.Board 3.1, I plan to update bottom bar to allow you quick access to your unread notifications (tying into the new IPB 3.1 notification system). Stay tuned for updates as IPB 3.1 reaches alpha/beta stages.


Please report any bugs in the feedback topic for Bottom Bar.

Nice work on this project.

One question I want to do

Be able to make chat with people we have in our profile, like facebook for example;

There is such a case, to you think about for after!!!!

( And in my opinion always will be good if there were an option to disable the bar, I saw no such option, do wrong!! )


Thanks in advance and good continuation :)

Suggestion: you could add something to IP.Downloads as well:

 	<if test="IPSLib::appIsInstalled( 'downloads' )">

 		<li><a href="{parse url="app=core&module=search&do=user_posts&search_filter_app[downloads]=1&view_by_title=1&mid={$this->memberData['member_id']}" base="public"}" class="blog">{$this->lang->words['bb_tab_yb']} <small>{$this->lang->words['bb_tab_yb']}</small></a></li>

 	</if>

Very nice mod,


is there any way to adjust the length of the bottom bar?



Like I want to stretch it to fit perfectly depending on the resolution

like no gap in between the sides




Of course - you modify the CSS. There's a new bottombar.css file that has all the definitions.

No, I don't know what specifically you'd need to change off the top of my head.


Hey Brandon, there seems to be an issue with the App. I can't seem to go to the app's ACP page. It just takes me back to the System Tab.




There is no ACP management page. IPB automatically creates the link however, so there's nothing I can do about that. I thought about adding a page that allows you to manage the links on the left side of Bottom Bar, but I don't feel it's truly needed.

You're not missing anything however. There is no ACP page which is why IPB sends you back to the index when you try to reach it.

Sorry, I'm not adding any chatting functionality into this anytime in the immediate future.

 	<if test="IPSLib::appIsInstalled( 'downloads' )">




Thought about this, though it's not really as "clean" as gallery/blog because they store whether you've used it or not. Still, might as well I suppose.


Brandon, one error:


[img=%3Ca%20href=%22http://pl.tinypic.com%22%20target=%22_blank%22%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://i44.tinypic.com/flcx14.png%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22Image%20and%20video%20hosting%20by%20TinyPic%22%3E%3C/a%3E]



Wareczek isn't online, but on tab is. :)




Was he potentially signed in anonymous? IPB actually determines if the user is online, not me, so there's not a whole lot I can do about that.... :unsure: Next time you see that, click the user's little green popup icon to get the profile popup and see if the user is shown online there.

I'd recommend adding an ACP page so people don't assume there's a bug. Also, be nice to choose which groups can (can't) access it. Like banned/suspended members. Letting the admin change the default links (or at least be able to add a couple of more links) would be nice.

Just installed it and waiting to see what others think of it.

Could an "apps" menu be added that would act like a 'start' menu? :D

I've edited mine somewhat drastically because I've edited some of the CSS and added some new links and created some new language bits. What do you think of it (I think it looks great though [img]

You have to know some HTML and CSS to accomplish it in a professional way like mine! :D But I can post the CSS and HTML changes here for you. Gimme a few though, as I am working on new product! ^_^
Also, if you want, if you can let me know what you want on the bar, I can do the changes for you on my localhost and then just post the changes that reflect your needs. Just lemme know! :)

Thanks a lot!

If anyone wants to know I just changed original to this,
#footpanel {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0; left: 0;
z-index: 9999;
background: #e3e2e2;
border: 1px solid #c3c3c3;
border-bottom: none;
width: 100%;
margin: 0 0%;
}

Great mod, so many cool things can be done to it, and I'm really hoping someone takes on the task of creating a friend chat modification for it
