Note: I did not write this. I had to edit my settings this morning and it took me a bit to find it on vb.com, and it didn't come up in a search here so I'm posting it so that folks can tag it. This is Jake Bunce's (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/member.php?u=2026) tip that he listed here (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=169499).
This mod allows you to exclude breadcrumbs from the navbar by name.
Eg: I have a forum called "Recording Studio" in the category "General Music Discussion". With this, my navbar breadcrumbs show:
Sevenstring.org » Recording Studio
Instead of:
Sevenstring.org » General Music Discussion » Recording Studio
Because this mod excludes by name, you will want to avoid having multiple forums and categories that have the same names, unless you want to exclude both of them.
You need to use a plugin for this, so first make sure your plugin system is enabled:
Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Plugin/Hook System -> Enable Plugin/Hook System
Now create a new plugin for the parse_templates hook location:
Admin CP -> Plugin System -> Add New Plugin
Use this PHP code in the plugin:
Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------
Edit the red list of names to specify the titles of the breadcrumb links you want to exclude. For example, if you have a category named "Open Forums" then you can exclude that link from the breadcrumbs in the navbar by adding 'Open Forums' to the list.
Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates -> navbar_link
Add the red code. Upon saving this template you will get an error about a "wrong datatype for second argument". Ignore the error and click Continue:
