Header Link Problem

[vinod]

I have Element Blue Style installed in my vBulleting 3.5.4. I am having problem with the link with one of the styles selected. The problem is that the Private message link, where the search box is, which are under the navbar is not pointing to http://www.mysite.com/forums/private.php rather its pointing to http://www.mysite.com/private.php

Can anyone here help me?

Thank you

My guess is that something is wrong with the phrases.
To fix this phrase, follow this tutorial I wrote.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Page 1:
1) Go to your Admin Control Panel
2) Expand Languages & Phrases
3) Select Phrase Manager

Page 2:
4) Select GLOBAL from the Phrase Type: drop down menu
5) Insert 99999999 in the Phrases to Show Per Page: input box
6) Select Go

Page 3:
7) Find private_ messages_ nav
8) Select Edit from the column to the right
9) Select Copy Default Text
10) Replace private.php{3} with the full link to the correct page

Page 4:
Go to your forum index and test it out. If it does not work, repeat steps 1-9, but in step 10, replace private.php{3} with another URL that you think might work.

If it works, congratulations! :)

No it still does not work. The link works fine in my forum directory, but I am having this problem in the index page that is with vb advanced cmps. I have tried several alternatives, but none worked.

What could be the problem?

Thank you

But you know what, the link works fine with the default style. Where could be the problem?

DOn't you know we have a help desk and provate forums for this kind of problems ? ^_^

Anyhow......

In admincp go to Languages & Phrases >> Search in Phrases

Searc for:

element_private_messages and tick this option: Phrase Variable Name Only

In the result click on edit next to the
element_private_messages


change:


<a href="private.php{3}">Private Messages</a>: {1}, {2}.
to:


<a href="/forums/private.php{3}">Private Messages</a>: {1}, {2}.


and you are done.

Sorry, the help tutorial I wrote was for the default skin :P I didn't think other skins would use different phrases..

Sorry again :P

Well thank you for your solution. It worked great.

Now I am having a problem with unread posts. I copied these few lines above the private message nav, they are:

<div class="smallfont"><strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />

which shows me these couple of lines:

Welcome, vinod.
You have 480 unread posts (http://www.xenomed.com/search.php?do=getnew)

But when I click on the link, i.e. 480 unread posts it gets to http://www.xenomed.com/search.php?do=getnew which should have pointed to http://www.xenomed.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew

I tried the find this in phrases and texts as well, but could not.

Here is my confusion, if I add the lines I added, it should only show Welcom, vinod. How come it also shows You have 480 unread posts? I do want this text as well but where can I find it in code? Could you please help me solve this.

Thank you
