How to: Nice Footer Archive Links

Hello

Want your archive links look like this:




First you need to enable your Footer Archive Links,
you can do this by going to your:

vBSEO Control Panel (vbseocp.php) ---> Footer Archive Links ---> Add Links to ALL Archive Pages (your choice) ---> Save Settings

Now go back to your forums, if everything is correct you will see Archive Links right under your copyright, but it is very ugly right? So we are gonna make some changes to that.

Go to your: AdminCP ---> Styles & Templates ---> Style Manager ---> Edit Templates ---> Footer

FIND:

PHP Code:

<br />
<div class="smallfont" align="center">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]</div>
<br /> 


ADD BELOW:

PHP Code:

<br />
<div class="tborder">
  <div id="collapseobj_MyELEMENT" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_MyELEMENT]">
    <div class="alt1" style="padding:8px">$vbphrase[archive]: <!--VBSEO_ARCHIVE_LINKS--></div>
  </div>
</div>
<br />
<br /> 


Thats it!
This is my first tutorial!
Sry for my poor English

Ciao!

Thank-you for submitting your tutorial.

I have read so many things about this, to disable or enable.

Currently I do not have it enabled, should I do so?

Thanks for making it idiot proof to implement though

Cheers for this.

At the beginning of 2009 ... what are the opinions about that?

Thanks a lot!

what are the opinions about that?

I still have it disabled. I have no real way of measuring for or against.

I would examine the traffic you are seeing in the Archive pages and if it is not significant, then these two articles will pretty much explain the how and why to eliminate the Archive altogether.

Why the vBulletin archive is useless and counterproductive

Read all of it and will disable archiv now. Thanks!
