[EDGE STYLING] Show breadcrumbs before topic titles

@Ange Tuteur,

I was wondering. To make navigating more easily within the topics & posts, is there a way to have the breadcrumbs shown before the topic title in each post?






Or to have at least a hover-over code installed that shows the forum location when hovering over the topic /post title I was thinking.

Because, at the moment, the only way to know where we are is to scroll totally up or down the page to see the exact forum location...

Perhaps you could consider making it a plug-in?


Thanks,

Samantha.

Hi @Samantha NL,

Give the following a try. Go to Admin Panel > Modules > JS codes management and create a new script with the following settings.

Title : Post Crumbs ( optional )
Placement : In the topics

Code:

$(function() {
  for (var crumbs = $('.breadcrumbs')[0], a = $('.post > .title'), i = 0, j = a.length; i < j; i++) {
    a[i].insertBefore(crumbs.cloneNode(true), a[i].firstChild);
  }
});

Save the script and it should add the breadcrumbs to each post title. If you want to remove the background color add this CSS rule to your stylesheet :

Code:

.post > .title > .breadcrumbs {
  background:none;
}

@Ange Tuteur: We haven't been able to set up a forum with Edge yet because the guy I'm trying to help here is quite busy very often. So, if someone else could give it a try, that 'd be great. I was just trying to suggest that for our future site because it could make things a whole lot easier ... :/

Anyway, thanks for your help in advance

No worries, there's no rush. Whenever you get time to test it, just let me know if it's what you wanted.

Alright! Thnx! Looks good, looking at the code anyway. Needless to say anyone is welcome to test and report back on this in the mean time, ofc.

Our first steps creating a test-site will probably be taken coming weekend, if all goes well. We've already made a design on paper for it.

Alright! Thanks for that. We set up a new phpBB3 test forum and installed EDGE. 1st time I installed EDGE, ever, and the whole process doesn't take longer than a minute or 20, real fast and straightforward! Translated it to Dutch after (I noticed the sceditor button hover over texts are still showing in English ). We're done setting up the basics for the site now. Took us an hour in total or so. Soon we'll be installing plug-ins and style it further.

Ah, just 1 remark on the installation process itself. Though very logical because templates are being edited or overwritten when installing EDGE, it says nowhere EDGE can only be installed by the forum founder! I tried to install EDGE as an admin, but now he's the founder I couldn't ofc. I totally forgot about my new role on there now, LOL!

FYI, the script and CSS you gave me in this topic work fine, but we had to add a little CSS to make it look prettier:

Code:

h2.topic-title {font-size:12px!important}
.nav {font-weight:bold}
