ish, ok maybe I'm going about this the wrong way by looking at generic_wrapper.
I'm just trying to move the occaisonal link that shows up above the table cells that says "hello user" or login/register on the left and bread crumbs on the right. And stick whatever shows up above there, to show just below those same table cells.
So for example; in public_forum.pl the pagination text and links shows up above the breadcrumb table. I like to show it below.
And public_forum_summary.pl, today's active topics links shows up above registered member count block. I'd likewise prefer to show that link just below those same table cells.
And so on with public_topic_page, except in there i need to move abit more below the breadcrumb table... jump to new posts / blue arrow on the left, and next/prev buttons on the right.
thus i thought from the looks of things i could tweak all this in generic_wrapper with the before/after navbar vars. but sounds like now I need to look abit deeper in each template?
