Right Behind Yah!!

Love it!!

Is there anyway to keep the default menu open when I refresh or login?

[SMO]

this should be standard from VB...awesome job

[hambil]

It uses the same routines as the normal cb menus. You'll notice they don't stay open on a refresh either. It's an interesting idea though. I may look into it :)

Hmmm. Can you give me a screen shot of your admincp menu?

I should have been more specific. I want to see what hacks you have installed, so I can try them on my test board and see if I can reproduce the problem, thus perhaps uncovering the bug :)

Thanks. I'll get to work on testing it.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /xxxxxx/cpsupermenu.php on line 459

I get this as well.

I do have quite a few plugins installed but none of the ones ThePimp does.
None of my installed plugins effect the admin_index_navigation hook location but I have a few that have their own XML's for added ACP nav function as well as a couple custom ones.

EDIT:
Also, if I add a custom SuperMenu, the error is displayed twice.

[RsX]

I have that same error.

Does it affect the way supermenu works anwyays?

[RsX]

I can only use 1 custom menu...

[hambil]

You're giving them all the same order, so they hide each other. Edit one and give it a smaller or larger number.

Okay, I think I fixed it. Try getting the zip and installing again (make sure allow overwrite is checked).

My guess is it had something to do with different php versions.

Still the same. I did an overwrite as well as uninstalling then reimporting the XML from the zip.

I am running PHP v4.4.1

Can you replace cpsupermenu.php in your admincp directory with the attached file, then click on Manage Super Menus, and send me the resulting log file (called supermenu.log)? It should be created in your forum directory.

[bashy]

Wahooo...this is what ive been after...will try it when i get home...cheers :)

[bashy]

Maybe not :( I have had a wee play but had to take it out again :(

I do have a lot of hacks installed and this just makes a compete mess of things with regards to the menus, I created a menu added the GARS and it took a load of others with it, This dont even show half the stuff that i do have in the menus....

Tis a shame mind as i need sommat like this so i can sort it all :(

Thanks anyway

The problem is that many menu items have the same order (e.g. they are all set to 10 or something). I'm working on changing the code to handle this. Check back for a 1.5 release soon.

[bashy]

Ok m8 cheers, will do....
Clicking install and waiting, thanks :)

[RsX]

That was fixed, but there are still a lot of bugs...

When you create a new menu without changing the order, it wont appear if there was a menu with that same order number before it. For example, if I create a new menu with display order 10, and the "Default" menu was already on 10, it wont appear, but it still exists.

There are also many other database errors, etc....

Ill just disable the plugin for now, I hope these problems are fixed.

[Snake]

Truly a nice hack!

Thanks! :)

[eNforce]

sorting the options is sketchy... some of them won't move into categories

vBulletin Options is in 'custom plugins' but i didn't put it there, and i can't move it cause it's not being displayed.

see attachment, vbulletin options is on the left, but not in your hack

[Freeneter]

Works for me fine!
Thanks
"click install, and give a good rating"

[hambil]

vBulletin cp menus are a mess to deal with - real byzantine. I've been slaving at it all day, and making some very good progress. I will have all the grungy details of menus with the same display order worked out soon enough. Stay tuned.

[Yukino_AE]

this is a very handy hack! ^_^ i would like it though if the menus (like the default menu) would be auto open and not have to click that arrow to drop it down. but very good. (2 thumbs up)

[Mastar]

I had one or two hacks that didn't wanna move in the new menu, what I did I opened the hack and removed the displayorder="*" in them.

I really love this hack, it should be part of vb next version, maybe with alittle more control for display order. 3 stars

displayorder = "*"? That's a new one on me :) I'm get on that right away. Thanks.

Yeah! One of the hacks were custom links, I deleted the displayorder="60" from cpnav_custom_links that is located in the xml dir.

[bashy]

Much better thanks alot m8 :)
A deafault open sections would be a bonus if at all possible?

[Mastar]

Hey the new upgrade isn't working now,

Uninstall old and install new.

Add new menu and nothing changes.

Any Ideas!?

The plugin got moved into a seperate file in the 'plugins' directory. Make sure you have uploaded it.

[obsidian]

I just installed on 3.5.2 and it works without issue. Outstanding hack. I agree this should be built into VB. It really goes a long way towards organizing the admincp.

[RsX]

I like it.
Installed :)

Heres a tip : Add 4 links at the bottom.

Expand All | Collapse All
Save Prefs | Revert Prefs

for the super menus :)


It requires adding cookie commands, I believe.

Funny you should mention that. I went one better and made it work with the ones already there ;)

[RsX]

Thats good, but I personaly would prefer separate ones :P

But most people probably prefer your way :)
I don't mind much, it works great for me either way.

Thanks for the update!

P.S. Is it possible not to have a border around the regular menus? And just to have the title of the super menu?

i.e.

--------------
| sumermenu |
--------------
menu
menu
menu


as opposed to:

--------------
| sumermenu |
--------------
| menu |
| menu |
| menu |
--------------

Well to know it was another hack that was interferring with this one and another one on my site.

All's well

[eNforce]

I second getting rid of the border, it kind of bothers me.

But the newest version is working great no more problems for me, thanks!

I hope the next version will remove the border, its kind of useless to be honest.

Updated to 1.2.1, see notes in first post.

Great your hack, Click Install ;)

But, i'm a little problem, look the screen please :p

Him... I'll contact the author about working together on a solution.

Him... I'll contact the author about working together on a solution.

But since this hack already has order change included, the other one (the one linked in this thread) isn't really needed.

Hey, you're right :)

Neat way to deal with borders :)

Hack is pretty much perfect now, great work, one of my top favorite mods for sure!

Works great! I appreciate this one. Thanks!

[EasyTarget]

wow, how'd I miss this? Installing now.

[username12]

Don't know if it's possible, but I'd like to see a way to make each supermenu (or menu) only visible to specific users.

[loonytune15]

Great hack, been looking everywhere for something like this :D

Should be a standard feature of vbulletin.
Is there a way of adding in spaces between the lines?
And is there a way to take setting out of the menus? eg alot of hacks put the options in VBuletin options. I'd like to create a seperate menu for all of them.


P.S. I have nominated you for HOTM.

[melefire]

wow, thanks so much, i was looking for somthing like this

[hambil]

Don't know if it's possible, but I'd like to see a way to make each supermenu (or menu) only visible to specific users.
How is this different than the already existing ability of the 'super admin' to restrict what other admins can do?

[hambil]

Not inbetween super menus, but you can add a seperate between any two items on a super menu. It's a checkbox on the menu creation screen.

And is there a way to take setting out of the menus? eg alot of hacks put the options in VBuletin options. I'd like to create a seperate menu for all of them.
Hmmm. It doesn't deal with the stuff under vBulletin options, it only deals with the main menu items.

P.S. I have nominated you for HOTM.
Thank you! :banana:

[Uno]

Work also on 3.6...... well :up:
Thank you

[wacodep]

*Clicks Install* (along with the cpSuperSort).

Great work, hambil.

[loonytune15]

Good to see this work for 3.6

Will reinstall..

VB 3.5.4
I am unable to edit #1 Super Menu : Buy & Sell Mods in the Change Super Menu Settings, After clicking on EDIT, it says Super Menu Not Found. and if I try to DELETE it to reinstall the Menu under a different number "other than 1" I get a MySQL error Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

[EasyTarget]

is there a way to add permissions to this so you can choose which super menus can be accessed by which admins?

[Bounce]

works a treat on 3.6.4 ,,, thanks recommended by loonytune15 here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=134476) thanks

[Bounce]

Can DEFAULT name be changed to your own custom one ?

Also I have the Show Profile fields in Postbits (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123619&highlight=Show+Profile+fields+in+Postbits) hack installed and its not showing when I "Manage Super Menus"

any idea why ?

Was wanting to know the same.

[wpeloquin]

is there a way to do this permanently, without the need for a product/plugin? i.e. editing a file or a table in the database?

see https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1215211

[wpeloquin]

bump

a PM would work too.

[hambil]

Sure, just make one named whatever you want and move everything from DEFAULT into it. Empty super menus don't display.


Also I have the Show Profile fields in Postbits (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123619&highlight=Show+Profile+fields+in+Postbits) hack installed and its not showing when I "Manage Super Menus"

any idea why ?
The menu for it in the admincp isn't showing, or the profile fields aren't showing in the postbit?
