IntegraMOD

I like to use the Navigation Block featured in Integramod installs on some of the sites I create that run IMPortal mostly so I can easily control who sees the links in the Navigation Menu. I managed to get it to work some time ago but every time I have to add it to a site I have to go through the whole process of digging through the Integramod files to complete it. I decided to write a mod to make things easier for me the next time and I thought that people might find it useful. I haven't seen any other postings regarding this so I hope I am not stepping on anyones toes. <img>

Code: Select all

You must follow the instructions## below for editing the file "includespage_header.php" carefully. Basically we are moving the edits for## Mod_Qbars above the edits for IMPortal. The data gathered by the section for Qbars must fall first so## it can be passed on to IMPortal. If not your Nav Menu block will be displayed blank.#### This mod assumes that IMPortal and Mod_Qbars were installed properly and are fully functional prior to## installing this mod.#### Post Install:#### Enter the ACP as Admin and navigate to "IM Portal> Blocks Management". Select your Home or Portal page## to edit. Add a new block with the Block position as "header" and select the block file "menu" then click## "Submit" to comit your changes. Your Navigation Block should now be present. If you do not see anything## in the block double check the edits to "includespage_header.php" and def_qbars.php. You can edit the ## contents of this block by navigating to "General Admin> Qbar" in the ACP. Click on "Board Navigation" ## to add, remove or edit the links. You may find further assistance with Qbars at [url=http://rpgnet.clanmckeen.com/]http://rpgnet.clanmckeen.com/[/url] .#### I would also like to note that I really can't take allot of credit for this mod other then writing it## down. I pulled all of the data from Integramod and compared to a fresh IMPortal installation. Credit ## goes to the fine people at [url=http://integrmod.com/]http://integrmod.com/[/url]. I am no coder, I can only install others work and## occasionaly pass it on. I hope this helps some people.#### Rob...################################################################## MOD History:####   2006-07-05 - Version 1.0.1##      - Removed unecessary code from edits to def_qbar.php to avoid linking to non-existant pages on some sites.##      Only common pages are now included.####   2006-07-04 - Version 1.0.0##      - Corrected edits to functions_qbars.php.

Mod update to version 1.0.1
A minor update to the mod to remove some information added by the edits to includes/def_qbar.php. The original added information created links in the navigation menu that may not exist on a given site depending on the other mods that may have also been installed. The install will now only create links that would be found in a standard install of phpBB2 and IMPortal. This should hopefully aviod any unnecessary confusion.

Far from stepping on anyone's toes you are giving opening a positive way forward. Well done [flash=,:15d6m42y]http://integramod.com/forum/images/icon/icon14.gif[/flash:15d6m42y]

I am sure this will be useful to many.

hi

I wished you had found the answer 6 months ago...lol

A real nice job it has stumped alot of us for a long time to get this to work right....

Thanks found.

I did make a small update to the mod. As written it created some links that may not exist on some sites depending on the mods that they had already installed. I removed all of these links so only common pages remain. I hope I avoided some confusion there. <img>
