#1 Forum & Sub-forum navigation

Post by rhoenix »

LibArc has sub-forums, which are a very nice addition to phpBB. However, when browsing sub-forums, the forum navigation links at the top only show a link to the main forum index, and the sub-forum.

As an example - when browsing Kitchen Stadium, it shows links for "Librium Arcana Forum Index -> Kitchen Stadium," and omits the parent of the sub-forum, in this case the Great Hall.

Is there a way this can be modified, so that the location at the top displays the full forum path?

It's dependant on the theme...I think mostly....

it's fixed in the newest version phpbb3, as subforums in that version are native to the program, and not a mod....but I have no clue how to make themes for phpbb3 (I barely know how to do it for phpbb2)

Maybe Adam can answer better on the links at the top...

It's theme-dependent. subBlack doesn't link to the parent forum, but some others do, and as I recall there's one or two that just go completely bonkers when you're in a subforum and don't link to anything at all.

I'm not so sure. Unless Mike W. edited every last forum theme installed on SD.net, I'm fairly certain it was simply a hack he installed.

I grant that I could be mistaken, though - I'll go look in amongst the phpbb hacks site, and see if that one listed there.
