I tried to remove the "New Post" link from the navbar yet it messed up my search drop down menu functionality in IE.

This is what I am trying to remove:

<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>
<else />
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>
</if>

and:

<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>
<else />
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>
</if>

What am I doing wrong?

If you want to just remove the link:

Go to: Navigation/Breadcrumb Templates / navbar

Find and then remove the code in green or you could just easily place the  so you don't have to remove the code.

<if condition="$show['popups']">
<if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">
<if condition="$show['member']">



<td id="navbar_search" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[search]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_search"); </script></td>
</if>

Hope I explained that right and it helps :)
Thankyou to LionDen for the info.

That worked great. However I am getting a stray "-->" on my page in IE. Also, in IE, the "New Post" does not go away.

I tried to delete the green code, but it mucks up the search dropdown on the navbar:

The code in green at the end is the stray characters that show on my page:



Also, there are 2 places on the page where I need to apply this change.

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>
<else />

Just remove that

It still keeps keeps the "Today's Posts" in the navbar. This is for IE only. When I remove this too, the search link looses it's popup feature in IE:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>
</if>

Find and Remove/Comment Out: (There are 2 instances of this code, only remove the first)
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[new_posts_nav]</a></td>
<else />
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>
</if>

Thanks acidburn0520 but commenting out does not work with this code. I put  as tags, but the NEW POST and or TODAYS POST does not go away in IE.

WHen I remove the code entirely, the search link becomes a direct link to the search page and loses it's popup menu attribute.

Well that's strange. What version of vB are you running? Because I tested it on my 3.6.0 board, it worked fine; the Search dropdown still works.

Yea tested it with mine as well and everything acidburn and myself have suggested worked just fine.

My solution worked for me on 3.5.5 in IE. Sorry it didn't help you.

I am on 3.6.0 as well. I've been doing a ton of hacking to my navbar template, so it probably has to do with that. I am going to try to revert and rebuild it tonite. Maybe that will help. If not I'll post the code and maybe someone can spot something I am missing.

For those who say this worked you are on windows and using IE? It works fine in all other browsers, just not IE (of course that's 75% of my user base...)

I'm using IE7 and Firefox, both worked fine. If you'd make an admin account for me on your board, I'd be happy to take a look and see if I can find the problem.

It's weird. I tried removing the code on a default template and I got the same problem...

1. Search becomes a direct link to the search page, not a popup menu
2. Today's Post does not delete.

I'm using IE 5.2

Must be something on your end. Try clearing your cache and retrying?

I put a ticket in with the .com guys and I think it is straightened out. I still can't confirm whether this works on IE 5.2 or not. I'm having style issues with that browser version. I can't tell if my work's proxy server cache is cleared. If anyone has IE 5.2 and wants to go here:

Let me know if it says "Mark Forums Read" on the right of the navbar or "search" with the triangle drop down on the right.

I want it to say search
