SP Navigation Block.
« on: February 21, 2009, 07:20:40 AM »
Information:
The attached mod will install the SP Forum Navigation Block.

SimplePortal MUST be installed, you can download it here.

Make sure that you uninstall this mod before uninstalling SimplePortal. If you don't then errors may occur.

SimplePortal block created by LHVWB.

Versions:
1.00:  Created/Tested for SMF 1.1.8/2 RC1 and SP 2.1.1.
1.01:  Created/Tested for SMF 1.1.8/2 RC1 and SP 2.2.

You can easily customize the appearance of this block in two ways.
1) You can add some css to the end of your themes 'style.css' file that uses the 'sp_navigation_block_cat' and 'sp_navigation_block_board' classes.
Code: (Example) [Select]
/* This css code changes the SP Forum Navigation Block styles. */
.sp_navigation_block_cat a
{
font-size: 15px;
color: #00DDDD;
}
.sp_navigation_block_board a
{
font-size: 12px;
color: blue;
}
Attached are examples of how this block looks before and after that css is applied.

2) Do a search for the code below in your 'SPortalX.php' file (it should be very close to the end of the file; replace the 'X' with '2' or '1-1' depending on your forum version).
Code: [Select]
$prefix .= '-';
You can change the '-' value to customize the symbol/image/html that is used to separate categories from boards and boards from their child boards.

For SP 2.2 versions and above, this code will add a random colored 'dot':
Code: [Select]
$prefix .= sp_embed_image('dot');

It might be nice to have an extra break between the last board of a category and the next category title. Where might I go to add that, if possible?

In your example...

New Category
 - New Board
General Category
 - General Discussion

Would be...
New Category
 - New Board

General Category
 - General Discussion

I guess I could adjust it with margin in the CSS?

You should be able to do it with css, but if you want to edit the function itself then ydo a search for the 'sp_forum_navigation' funcion at the very bottom of you 'SPortalX.php' file (replace X with forum version, ie '1-1' or '2').

Replace this code:
Code: [Select]
echo '
', $prefix, '<span class="sp_navigation_block_board"><a href="', $scripturl, '?board=', $boards[$boardid]['id'], '">', $boards[$boardid]['name'], '</a></span><br />';
}

With this code:
Code: [Select]
echo '
', $prefix, '<span class="sp_navigation_block_board"><a href="', $scripturl, '?board=', $boards[$boardid]['id'], '">', $boards[$boardid]['name'], '</a></span><br />';
}
echo '<br />';
}

Any chance you would upgrade this for 2.2? I was surprised that 2.2 used the top navi bar for their menu box instad of this style navi box.

The SP 2.2.2 overwrites some of the files that this block/mod edits. If you uninstall and then reinstall the mod then the issue should go away.

Gotcha. Thanks!

So, next time I upgrade SP:

1) Uninstall this mod
2) Install/upgrade SP
3) Reinstall this mod
