Enforcing linktree layout

[Alexandre P.]

Hi all,

Is there a way, in the template file, to enforce the way the linktree is displayed?

The goal is to show a linktree in a tree form above a topic and the same linktree, but in an inline form, under the topic.

Thanks for any suggestion

Is there also a way to separate the ¨post Reply in a line after </br>

It could be done if the link_tree function can take a parameter, and from that parameter decide if it should render it inline.  Like this:

Code Select Expand

// Show a linktree.  This is that thing that shows "My Community | General Category | General Discussion"..
function theme_linktree($use_inline = false)
{
        global $context, $settings, $options;

        // Folder style or inline?  Inline has a smaller font.
        echo '<span class="nav"', $use_inline ? ' style="font-size: smaller;"' : '', '>';

        // Each tree item has a URL and name.  Some may have extra_before and extra_after.
        foreach ($context['linktree'] as $link_num => $tree)
        {
                // Show the | | |-[] Folders.
                if (!$use_inline)
                {
                        if ($link_num > 0)
                                echo str_repeat('<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/linktree_main.gif" alt="| " border="0" />', $link_num - 1), '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/linktree_side.gif" alt="|-" border="0" />';
                        echo '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/folder_open.gif" alt="+" border="0" />&nbsp; ';
                }

                // Show something before the link?
                if (isset($tree['extra_before']))
                        echo $tree['extra_before'];

                // Show the link, including a URL if it should have one.
                echo '<b>', $settings['linktree_link'] && isset($tree['url']) ? '<a href="' . $tree['url'] . '" class="nav">' . $tree['name'] . '</a>' : $tree['name'], '</b>';

                // Show something after the link...?
                if (isset($tree['extra_after']))
                        echo $tree['extra_after'];

                // Don't show a separator for the last one.
                if ($link_num != count($context['linktree']) - 1)
                        echo $use_inline ? ' &nbsp;|&nbsp; ' : '<br />';
        }

        echo '</span>';
}


Then all calls that goes like theme_linktree(); will render treeform ( all the usual ones), and a call like theme_linktree(true) will render it inline regardless.

A bit difficult perhaps..if you are in calendar for example, what should you reply to...? Putting it down under the copyright means it will show on all pages, whereas this should maybe only show on the actual showing of posts?

                        echo '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/icons/folder_open.gif" alt="+" border="0" />&nbsp; ';
                }

                // Show something before the link?
                if (isset($tree['extra_before']))
                        echo $tree['extra_before'];

                // Show the link, including a URL if it should have one.
                echo '<b>', $settings['linktree_link'] && isset($tree['url']) ? '<a href="' . $tree['url'] . '" class="nav">' . $tree['name'] . '</a>' : $tree['name'], '</b>';

                // Show something after the link...?
                if (isset($tree['extra_after']))
                        echo $tree['extra_after'];

                // Don't show a separator for the last one.
                if ($link_num != count($context['linktree']) - 1)
                        echo $use_inline ? ' &nbsp;|&nbsp; ' : '<br />';
        }

        echo '</span>';
}

I've been searching where I should edit the function theme_linktree() 'cause it already exists), but did not find in which file it is located

I suppose he means having something like

Code Select Expand

My forum | My board <br />
Post reply (Re: my topic)not putting the Post reply (...) under the copyright

[bloc]

eh...how did I get that wrong.. ( might have something to do with a certain copyright thread )

The link_tree function? Thats in index.template.php.

[Alexandre P.]

yeah, you're right   Thanks 

For the <br /> before Post reply, I guess it would be too complicated because of the way the link tree is rendered as an unique variable...

Edit: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=30772.0 this theme might have something interesting to reveal

You can manipulate the linktree function pretty much to your liking..the effect of that theme is not hard to do. I did the same for a VB-lookalike theme once. But the "post reply" bit is a harder. Not the actual link..but the fact that a reply link needs a topic number - and where is that when you are in the calendar - or on frontpage for example?

You could check partly where you are....but its still just possible to reply in the posts area.

But back to the break like that..this can be done like this:

Code Select Expand

// Show a linktree.  This is that thing that shows "My Community | General Category | General Discussion"..
function theme_linktree()
{
        global $context, $settings, $options;

        // Folder style or inline?  Inline has a smaller font.
        echo '<span class="nav">';

        // Each tree item has a URL and name.  Some may have extra_before and extra_after.
        foreach ($context['linktree'] as $link_num => $tree)
        {
                // Show something before the link?
                if (isset($tree['extra_before']))
                        echo $tree['extra_before'];

                if (($link_num == count($context['linktree']) - 1) && count($context['linktree'])>1)
                        echo '<br />  - ';

                // Show the link, including a URL if it should have one.
                echo '<b>', $settings['linktree_link'] && isset($tree['url']) ? '<a href="' . $tree['url'] . '" class="nav">' . $tree['name'] . '</a>' : $tree['name'], '</b>';

                // Show something after the link...?
                if (isset($tree['extra_after']))
                        echo $tree['extra_after'];

                // Don't show a separator for the last one.
                if ($link_num < count($context['linktree']) - 1)
                        echo ' &nbsp;>&nbsp; ';

        }

        echo '</span>';
}


this would show:

I have just used a "-" but anything can be used, a image like the Aquasoft theme or a symbol, text etc.

Waw, thanks a lot for all those informations !
