Question On Nav Link and Below Nav Link

[techieanalyst]

How do I get the two links to chat instead of throwing it at the top of the forum?

I'm not sure what links you're referring to, sorry.

Is your shout in a custom location, or on forum home?

Forum Home

Then you just have to scroll to see the shout if you have it Above Footer

i was hoping for a link to it

Only way to do that is enable Detach in Instance management, then you will be able to view the shout on a page by it's self, like this:

h**p://www.mysite.com/vbshout.php?do=detach&instanceid=1

Then once you have that url from your forum, you could add the navbar and navtab in your style by codding the navbar template.

To get the Chat link to show in Navbar and Navtabs do the following:

Open your Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates/Navbar

1. Search for the following code:

{vb:raw template_hook.navbar_end}

2. Right before that code add the following:

<!--Start Shout Navbar-->

<li><a rel="Chat" href="vbshout.php?do=detach&instanceid=1{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="5">[B]Chat[/B]</a></li>

<!--End Shout Navbar-->

3. Now search for the following code:

{vb:raw template_hook.navtab_end}

4. Right before that code add the following:

<!--Start Shout NavTab-->

<li><a class="navtab" href="vbshout.php?do=detach&instanceid=1">[B]Chat[/B]</a></li>

<!--End Shout NavTab-->

5. Click save.

The first edit adds it to your navbar.
The second edit add it to your navtabs.

You can change Chat in those codes to what ever you wish to call it.

Hope that helps.

I tried in Firefox and Chrome. Nowhere its showing me the shoutbox
