Post subject: (Suggestion) Tab Menus And Upi2db (Unread Posts) Problem

I've noted that Unread Posts when active creates a menu problem particularly if one is trying to change the layout to "Expanding Tabs"

I found the only way is to move "Unread Posts" and put it in the breadcrumbs_main.tpl - So you may find these code changes useful if you are using "Expandable Tabs".

Spoiler: [ Show ]

Code: [Hide] [Select]

overall_header.tpl

Find and remove:

		<!-- BEGIN switch_upi2db_off -->

		<a href="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{U_SEARCH_NEW}">{L_NEW2}</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{IMG_MENU_SEP}" alt="" />&nbsp;

		<!-- END switch_upi2db_off -->

		<!-- BEGIN switch_upi2db_on -->

		<span style="vertical-align: top;">{L_POSTS}:&nbsp;</span><a href="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{U_SEARCH_NEW}">{L_NEW2}</a><span style="vertical-align: top;">&nbsp;•&nbsp;</span>{L_DISPLAY_U}<span style="vertical-align: top;">&nbsp;•&nbsp;</span>{L_DISPLAY_M}<span style="vertical-align: top;">&nbsp;•&nbsp;</span>{L_DISPLAY_P}&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{IMG_MENU_SEP}" alt="" />&nbsp;

		<!-- END switch_upi2db_on -->

forum.php

Find:

	$nav_server_url = create_server_url();

	$breadcrumbs_links_right = '<a href="' . $nav_server_url . append_sid(FORUM_MG . '?mark=forums') . '">' . $lang['Mark_all_forums'] . '</a>&nbsp;' . MENU_SEP_CHAR . '&nbsp;<a href="' . $nav_server_url . append_sid(SEARCH_MG . '?search_id=newposts') . '">' . $lang['Search_new'] . '</a>&nbsp;' . MENU_SEP_CHAR . '&nbsp;<a href="' . $nav_server_url . append_sid(SEARCH_MG . '?search_id=egosearch') . '">' . $lang['Search_your_posts'] . '</a>';

}

Replace With:

	$nav_server_url = create_server_url();

	$breadcrumbs_links_right = '<a href="' . $nav_server_url . append_sid(FORUM_MG . '?mark=forums') . '">' . $lang['Mark_all_forums'] . '</a>&nbsp;' . MENU_SEP_CHAR . '&nbsp;<a href="' . $nav_server_url . append_sid(SEARCH_MG . '?search_id=egosearch') . '">' . $lang['Search_your_posts'] . '</a>';

}

breadcrumbs_main.tpl

Delete all:

Replace with:

{IMG_TBL}<div class="forumline nav-div">

	<p class="nav-header">

		<a href="{U_PORTAL}">{L_HOME}</a>{BREADCRUMBS_ADDRESS}

	</p>

	<div class="nav-links">

		<div class="nav-links-left"><!-- IF S_BREADCRUMBS_LINKS_LEFT -->{BREADCRUMBS_LINKS_LEFT}<br /><!-- ENDIF -->{CURRENT_TIME}</div>

		<!-- IF S_LOGGED_IN --><a href="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{U_PRIVATEMSGS}">{PRIVATE_MESSAGE_INFO}</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<!-- ENDIF --><a href="{U_RECENT}" class="gensmall">{L_RECENT}</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="{U_SEARCH_UNANSWERED}">{L_SEARCH_UNANSWERED}</a><br />

		<!-- BEGIN switch_upi2db_off -->

		<a href="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{U_SEARCH_NEW}">{L_NEW2}</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;

		<!-- END switch_upi2db_off -->

		<!-- BEGIN switch_upi2db_on -->

		<span class="gensmall" style="vertical-align: top;"><b>{L_SEARCH_NEW}:</b>&nbsp;</span><a href="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{U_SEARCH_NEW}">{L_NEW2}</a><span style="vertical-align: top;">&nbsp;•&nbsp;</span>{L_DISPLAY_U}<span style="vertical-align: top;">&nbsp;•&nbsp;</span>{L_DISPLAY_M}<span style="vertical-align: top;">&nbsp;•&nbsp;</span>{L_DISPLAY_P}&nbsp;|

		<!-- END switch_upi2db_on -->

		<!-- IF S_BREADCRUMBS_LINKS_RIGHT -->{BREADCRUMBS_LINKS_RIGHT}

<!-- ENDIF -->

	</div>

</div>{IMG_TBR}

The pic shows my preferred location in the breadcrumbs! And the "Default Menu" is visible ONLY because I took the snapshot while I was playing with it.

Unfortunately it is not so easy to solve that.

Suggestion to add the counters on breadcrumbs is good, but there are certain sections or settings which shows you extra content on breadcrumbs and may become sometimes over-populated... we need to make sure it will suit under every condition.

I had thought about that, but decided that if anyone wanted to try adding possibly the menu in the picture (It is "location smart" too) or something similar, then we could always look at that problem in a working environment.
