Menu Control

[Marky]

Hey all,

Since this is the beta, and most of the information is included in the manual, I won't go into too much detail.

This is Menu Control 1.3 for vBulletin version 3.6.0 RC 3.

There may be a few bugs, and so it is important you must tell me about any you find!

Version 1.4 Menu Control is in production still and will be available for vBulletin 3.5 AND 3.6 very soon!

When Version 1.4 is released, I will use this thread to update it in.

In this version, I have updated some of the admin option descriptions for easier editing, but other than that it is the same as the 3.5 version.

Enjoy!

This looks great, well done.

A nice easy way to add new nav options on other skins too. This was one thing that put me off having a few skins but with this mod it will be much easier.

[Neal-UK]

Slight problem when viewing another area of my site though: http://www.gbpride.co.uk/gallery/

[Draygonia]

Awwww, it doesnt work with 3.5.4? Darn... I would love to have this for 3.5.4!

I believe that version works in 3.5.4 ;)

You'll have to add $menucontrol under $navbar in the gallery templates.

[Neal-UK]

can't find the main gallery template whilst searching for $navbar. I'll have to speak to the owner of Photoplog I think.

Other than that little problem, it's an excellent modification that makes it so much easier having more skins ;-)

[Marky]

Good stuff :) It probably would be better talking to Photoplog because I've never used it before :)

[Snake]

Thanks Marky! :)

Problem with Menu Image display in IE when "Images" is turned on in admin and no image selected for some links. IE displays ugly empty box where image should appear but FireFox works properly and does not display empty box. Tested on vb3.6 Gold. To correct IE problem I inserted meaningless images.

[twitch]

looking forward to the next release for 3.6
nice work

[JayJay]

With the Colour option turned off, links appear black in Internet Explorer but as the right/skin default colour in FF. Any ideas why this may be the case?

[hyony]

still waiting menu dropdown ;)

In the next version I have on my "betaboard", this has been fixed! It will be included in the next version ;)

Hmm ill look into it ;)

I have the beta version 4 on a beta board and I should be able to finish it by this week. I may not include the dropdown menus in this version unfortunatly. I believe that it'll be a big addition to the mod and it should be in 2.0. So 1.4 will include bug fixes and a few new useful options :) It will be available on 3.5 and 3.6 :)

[JayJay]

Thanks :)

[Eagle Creek]

Nice!

But I have two questions:

1. Is this also possible:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2006/08/12.jpg

2. When I only have one menu item, will it be centered?

[JayJay]

I worked out the solution to my "problem" as it were ;) When I updated I had not replaced the 1.2 template code in the navbar to "$menucontrol" instead. Silly me :)

[Cajun]

Nice, but have one problem. I am using vbadvanced and vbulletin. The menu shows on my forums but not on the vbadvanced pages. How can I get the menu to show on my vbadvanced pages?

[Neal-UK]

paste the code into the header template instead and it works fine

Found a fast way to add the menu to vbadvanced page.

In Portal Output Global Variables add this:

menucontrol

1. Yep
2. Yep :)

1. Find: <!-- breadcrumb, login, pm info --> in navbar template
Add Below: $menucontrol

To make the menu appear on your vBAdvanced portal add:

menucontrol

to your Portal Output Global Variables :)

Next version still in the making, will be released this week :)

[Cajun]

How can I get the menu to show in ibparcade pages?

[Cajun]

Also found when viewing someons Ip using the ip link in the forums that page will not display the menu.

[optrex]

Does anyone else have the problem with "new posts" page not showing the menu bar? Any idea why?

[redlabour]

Sorry, useless hack.

It has no "center" Function if you only add 2 Links both are completely on the left.

[optrex]

Change where you put the urls - try putting your 2 links in 4 and 5

[Marky]

Sorry, useless hack.

It has no "center" Function if you only add 2 Links both are completely on the left.
Saying that it's a "Useless hack" because it doesnt have a center function is pretty stupid... I would edit it so that when there wasn't any other links the first one was completely centered, but it seems it would be a waste of time seeing as you could use links 4 and 5 for example. It might happen one day if im bored lol :p

[mikephung]

thanks , it a great hack! It userfull for me!

I Install this , but this image :

[optrex]

Do you have images turned on? If so turn them off.

[optrex]

If turning off images does not work then do the following:

Turn on images
in the image url type clear.gif

this will then use the default vB clear.gif in the image position.

The Edit and Delete links were for development purposes. To only have 5 or 6 links showing just don't add anything in the other links. The showing links will centralise.

[optrex]

Marky,

How would I go about installing a 2nd menu control? I think I would move the $menucontrol and $menucontrol2 to the header template to avoid confusion with the main forum navigation, but what would I need to change in the xml file to create a seamless 2nd navigation bar?

I have done like you showed, but the problem is not the showing links, that's image, i added the link and the image, so not the name, because it?s okay so, but when i have only 6 image, and i want to display them completely , full on the menu (it mean that i want to split in 6 equal partition ), it?s impossible ,
i tried to edit the xml file with 6 link only, it didn't work,
So please show me as possible , if i can make it in 6 equal partition with 6 image
Big thanks for your support,

I put $menucontrol in my footer at the very bottom. Using for Links to other sites and working beautifully.

Yeah you'd need to edit the xml file. If you wish, I'll build a new .xml file so you can add an additional Menu Control? Just say you want it, and I'll get started.

Do you mean you just want 6 images as links? And you mean that you want them spread out?

Glad you like it :) Thanks ^^

[Mr Peabody]

Just 1 suggestion.
Would be great if you could set individual for the way it opens links in windows. It wouls be handy for things like flash chat where its better if it pops up into a new window.
Cheers
:)

[mikephung]

Yes, i'd like to spread them out, only 6 image not more ,not less.
Can you please customize it for me , or show me how to do that?
thanks you very much,

[jw00dy]

Having a second menu would be very cool. Then I could make it different then the one I have now and put it at the bottom.

Okey sure, I get where your coming from. Unfortunatly, I have no free time today, but I'll edit the xml file for you and hopefully reply with the attachment tommorow :)

I notice Is in Beta stage is still indicated. I've been watching/waiting to try this mod over the past month. Any idea when it'll be released as a non-beta product? S-W-E-E-T MOD by the way!

[optrex]

I think it maybe an oversight, but the next upgrade is due over the next 24 hours, thansk to Marky and his committment ;)

[Marky]

Sorry for the delay but I was called to go into work today and so didnt have time. Tommorow I don't have too much time but I'll try my best. Sorry if you're disappointed.
And on the beta stage thing, next version it should be out of beta - which wont be long at all ;)

[adwade]

Tommorow I don't have too much time but I'll try my best.
And on the beta stage thing, next version it should be out of beta - which wont be long at all ;)
That's fine, take-your-time. I'm sure everyone would rather have it right vs. quick!:D I was just wondering how close it was getting to an official product release, and out of the beta stage. I KNOW I'll be D/L'ing & Installing once it's finally ready. Many Thanxx for all your work on this! SUPER MOD

[DrJot]

Nice one, just Installed!

And i am very happy now:) Thanks!

[spazz191]

Marky,
I have to say that this is one of my favorite add-ons. I DO have question though, I use the VBImageHost add-on...is there a way to add the link into this add-on. I only ask because VBImageHost uses drop menus.

[optrex]

Any update on the 2nd menu Marky?

[LBSources]

It is for the imagehosting mod... Here is the code..

Thanks :)

[harmor19]

I have some suggestion but I'm going to limit them because I have a similar hack.

Don't limit the administrator to only nine links. You could debate that it would stretch the navbar but that's where my second suggestion comes in.
When the admin has 10 links it'll automatically create a new navbar and start another list of links.

[optrex]

I'm hoping thats what is keeping Marky quiet this last week or so - lol

[Reece^B]

Spoke to Marky the other night, his been busy.
But I don't think this works with 3.6.1 as it's not working on mine.

Reece

[optrex]

works ok for me on 3.6.1 but then mine is in the header !!!

this gives me many positives.

It works with vba and galleries
I dont get it dissapearing on certain pages
It keeps my additional links away from my forum navigation links

[Reece^B]

I think its time I have another Look.
There must jsut be a small error somewhere.

[jw00dy]

Works fine on my 3.6.1 version as well.

[Reece^B]

This is annoying now, even added a new style and it still wont show. *Calls Marky* ;)

[optrex]

Just to check you have the coding right, drop

$menucontrol

in the header to see if that shows. Might point you in a different direction depending onthe results.

[Reece^B]

Nope I dont get nothing even when I add that. I have no idea what happend to it. Mystery.

[optrex]

odd. try disabling your other plugins to see if thre may be a conflict.

[Reece^B]

Good idea. Report back in a mo.

[Reece^B]

No Joy, included some screenies.

[optrex]

the screenshot shows vba, shoutbox and thumbs - you sure you turned everything off?

Re-upload the xml with overwrite on and move add antoher $menucontrol to the last line in your header, see where that gets you.

[Reece^B]

That screen shot was after i turnt them all back on.
I have rewrite the XML with overwrite on. Il try the last line, but cant see it doing anything.

[optrex]

did you revert ALL your templates for the 3.6.1 upgrade?

[Reece^B]

I dont think so, however I was using a different style when I upgraded. Then I decided to go back to the default.

[optrex]

I would recommend doing that first - there were a number of changes. Check the versions when you do it so that you can copy your mods across to the newer template.

[Reece^B]

But I did add a new style. Wouldnt that have fixed that problem. It still didnt show on that though.

[Emanet-Kaos]

my forum aint live yet but it will be next week, thanks marky !

[Viceroy]

Is one being created for 3.6.1 or will this work on 3.6.1? Thanks!

[jw00dy]

It's working on my 3.6.1, but I've had it installed since 3.5.3, and it's just upgraded along with me.

[optrex]

Is one being created for 3.6.1 or will this work on 3.6.1? Thanks!

It will work on 3.6.1 as long as you revert the templates properly. However, I found a fairly simple way of creating a third navbar in the end by looking at the navbar template.

Just look at whats inbetween the <!-- nav buttons bar --> comments - its fairly easy to work out. The results can be seen by following my sig.

[Reece^B]

Optrex's Hack is great. Thanks man, I will be using that now.

[fringehead]

I use embedded gallery and the menu breaks my gallery. I had to edit the navbar for my gallery to work properly by placing this before each link:
$vboptions[bburl]/

Here is a sample link from the your template:

<tr align="center"><if condition="$vboptions[menu_status]">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a target="{$vboptions['menu_window']}" href="http://{$vboptions['menu_link_one']}">

How would I add this prefix to each link? I have tried adding it but get a template error... Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Sean

[fringehead]

If I can't modify this to work, is there anyway to NOT show the menu on my gallery?

instead of using index.php, for instance as a link address in menu control, use www.yoururl.com/index.php

that surely does just the same as manually adding [bburl] in the template.

[Neal-UK]

Will there be an update so that you can add a second navbar? I've filled all nine spaces ;-(

[morrow]

Nice hack. Can't seem to get it working with VBA though.

[Neal-UK]

Tried that, but I can't get it to display directly under the present nav bar. it displays above the welcome box and there is a space in between the welcome box and the menu.

[Draygonia]

Does this work on 3.6.2?

[optrex]

yes it does, the only known issues are with plugins such as vba and photoplog and also some parts of the forum such as "new posts" search, where it seems to disappear.

[Draygonia]

And those are the 2 products im getting :(

Is it a big issue? And does it work with the second navbar code I just put in?

[KevNJ]

I only have 4 extra links but it still shows 5 empty links as well as the 4 I want posted. Along with them not showing with vbgallery, groups, and other mods.

[basskiller]

I have it woking fine on 3.6.2
I do have a question though. I wanted to add all my ... lets say fun links to this navbar as too keep them seperated from the help/control navbar
http://www.worldclassbodybuilding.com/forums/
I have made my way around the sessions code in the Vbookie as to just be able to add the link.
But with the Mp3 player. It has a pop-up and just won't work without modifying the actual navbar code.

right now I have it in the primary navbar .. is there a way to make this happen?



I can not place this as a link through the admincp/ Menu Control Version 1.3 Settings
<!-- vbMp3 Player Start -->
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

function OpeniPod(){
iPod = window.open('ipod.htm','iPod','directories=no,heig ht=430,width=190,location=no,menubar=no,resizable= no,status=no,toolbar=no')

return false;
}

-->
</script>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#" onclick="return OpeniPod()">vbPlayer</a></td>
<!-- vbMp3 Player End -->

[optrex]

I'm not sure where marky has gone with regards to supporting this. He would be able to help you more. I imagine the link does nto work due to the lack handling of Javascript coding from menu control. Is the # the actual url or just there as an example?

If it is needed, the # charater may not be recognised either. But have you tried putting it in as www.forumurl/# rather than just #

alternatively you'd need to look at adding a multiple menu.

With Menu Control, this is due to the fact that the program was designed to be placed in a certain position on your nav bar, therefore the box was given no border at the top, and a border at the bottom. Here this is emphasised by you seeing this output when positioned differently.

[NFLfbJunkie]

But how can I fix the border? I already figure out how to put the top border (changing a 'px0' value to 'px1' in the navbar template. But I still have the double line border on the bottom of the top navigtion bar.

[optrex]

create a line bottom border px0 at a guess.

[NFLfbJunkie]

Any idea where I would create / find where to put this and what the code should be?

[optrex]

Not really, you could try just on the same line as the top border bit

[NFLfbJunkie]

I figured it out. This is the beginning code that I have:

<!-- Menu Control - Version 1.3 Final -->
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:1px">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px">

<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:1px" style="border-bottom-width:0px">


Shouldn't need it twice. This should tidy things up

[NFLfbJunkie]

I tried that and it centered everything on the page.

[NFLfbJunkie]

Tried it again; now it works. Thanks Optrex.

Hi Mark, How do I make the 10th link? I saw only 9 in this mod.
Thanks

[LaCN]

It's nice, but it's stuck to my Calender menu-option... :(
Can't I place some $var on the spot where I want my dropdown menu ?
Because my menu-options differ per usergroup.

And some space between the image and the text would be nice, for next version :)

Everything is working fine for me with the exception of ibProArcade.

How can I get this to work?

I added $menucontrol under $navbar in the ARCADE template, but the variable must not be defined once entering the arcade code.

Anyone have any thoughts?

[optrex]

you could try moving it to your header, but there are known bugs with some pages and plugins.

From the lack of replies from the coder, I'm assuming this product will not be updated or supported any longer?:tired:

I appologise again, but Im unable to continue production until I get a new licence. I will post once production is continued :)

[JAYEMULE]

Oh glad I found this :) I had it a while back on an older vb version and have missed it. I will give it another go.
Thanks :)

Found a fast way to add the menu to vbadvanced page.

In Portal Output Global Variables add this:

menucontrol

Hi,
It's not working for me.

[optrex]

Marky is not able to support atm, whats wrong?

[rezapci]

any update for this version?

[Mupetz]

Well, anyone made it work with ibpproarcade?

[optrex]

Don't think so. Its also not supported atm, so no chance of development. Best to hardcode, see sig for details

[Marky]

Support for this modification has now resumed. Appologises for the lack of support. I have now returned, since I have a vBulletin licence!

Version 1.4 will continue development - any suggestions or bugs you find, please post them ASAP so I can finish it off :)

[Coleccromos]

Thank you for this idea clik install

Does this work with 3.7.1 ??

[SnapOff Racing]

Does this work with 3.7.1 ??

I'm using the old version that is on THIS PAGE (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=104725) with 3.7.1 and it works fine. I just ran across this version and I can't figure out what's the difference. But in any case that old version works fine on 3.7.1 I dunno about this version though. Looks like support kinda died off on this version :confused:

[nanaimobar]

How do I make the text in the menu links larger? I looked at mod using the product manager but didn't see any coding for text size.
PS: Marky, glad to see you're working on an update as I really like this mod and am using it on latest version.

[JimR]

Does this version support relative links somehow? I really dislike absolute urls, although I realize that they let you create links to outside websites.

Was this a trade-off decision made in the past at some point? I remember a much older version that had relative links... and only that.

I have edited the menucontrol template, removing all the 'http://' additions it makes to the links. This allows me to use relative and absolute links. I haven't found any tradeoffs either. Comments welcome!
