Full Version: Forum Jump List in the header?

Hi all,

Anyone know if it's possible to put the forum jump list into the header of the site so it shows everywhere and people can easily jump from one place to another?

Doesn't seem to be showing from using its basic tag.

Thanks in advance!
The forum jump isn't generated by the time the header is rendered so it isn't possible. You could request a plugin to do this if you really wanted.
So how IS it rendered? Is it a template change somewhere?
It evaluates the header template before it evaluates what should be in the forum jump so it will fail. The header template and footer template are evaluated before other templates because they are in global.php which gets called before the content in showthread.php, forumdisplay.php,etc.
Ah right, I see. So do you think there's a plugin out there for something like this?
I don't see one on the site, but you can post a thread in Plugin Requests and someone might make it for you.
You could make a quick plugin that either parses global_end or page and then replace it into the header, seems extreme though
Cheers for moving the thread to the requests. Is anyone able to help?
After looking through files there is a function called build_forum_jump in inc/functions.php. In forumdisplay.php it calls it with three arguments:
$forumjump = build_forum_jump("", $fid, 1);
