F.A.Q
To display each navbar alone do this
1-Add your navbar with any name that contains LETTERS only
like "first, second" Don't put NUMBERS
2-then edit your template say we will put our navbar above breadcrumb
so we open template navbar
then find<!-- breadcrumb, login, pm info -->
above it we add
$developer_navbar[Navbarname] so in our example it will be
$developer_navbar[first]
To Display all navbars under each other
open your template let's say navbar
we want to display navbars under breadcrumb
so we find<!-- nav buttons bar -->
add below it$dev_navbars

[Feckie (Roger)]

Excellent Idea..................;)


clicks install

[CMGU]

Excellent Great Idea!!!!

[JD45]

exactly what I needed! Thank you!

[jgommel]

This is very cool. I've already added it to my site. I'd really like to see an option to create drop-down menus in the future.

This may be a dumb question, but how do you get this to appear on the vBAdvanced CMPS page? Is there something I need to add to the Portal Output Global Variables within the Main Options of vBadvanced CMPS?

[HDT]

save the thread for later,thanks for create this i have morethan 22 menus on navbar so this will make my site look clean.

[gforce75]

Ya, I like it. Thanks for the mod.

[Hornstar]

Okay, I think this is what i'm looking for since the last navbar mod I was using is bugged.

Hopefully this will work good and easy.

and hopefully it will be able to do drop down menus as well.

Thanks.

Edit: looks awesome so far :)

some suggestions
1. create a folder called screen shots and put the screen shots in that folder in the zip
2. See if you can do drop down menus. that would be awesome!
3. When selecting allowed groups, have a button that will select them all. (saves time when you have 30 or more usergroups and you want to select about 29 of them.

some Bugs
1. When you click on edit navbar, all the allowed groups are unticked, and you have to tick them again.

Other then that, Thanks!

1- ok
2- planned feature
3- i am using a built in function in vb but i'll look at that for sure ...

about the bug:
i just test it nothing shows to me, i am using a vb3.6.8 with no additional groups or something, i'll create some groups and i'll test it ...

Edit: i've added some groups and check them, then i edit a navbar the still checked, does any one else facing the same issue !!?

[projectego]

Looks fantastic. Nice work, Developer! ;)

[young coder]

I loved it

[viper357]

I am using your previous version for 3.5.4 on my vb 3.6.5

It seems to be working fine, should I use this new version for 3.6.5 or is it still ok to use the older version?

Thanks.

[memorex]

Drop down menus in my planned features ...

put in global variables : dev_navbars

Is there anything else that needs to be done to add to vba? I've never messed with my vba much, and I can't seem to get this to show up by just adding that

Thanks for the great addition to my forums.

[Infinite Guitar]

I must be a total newbie. I installed this mod as well as another mod and couldn't find where the actually mod installed to, and how to edit the navbar through the form. I looked all over the admin control panel. Can someone describe in detail how to find the mod form after it's installed?

Thanks so much.

After importing the product, refresh the admin control panel. It's listed in separate options.

*installed* :) just what I was looking for.

[|Jordan|]

I installed the plugin, added the code to the template, added a navbar and added a menu item and nothing displays.

I'm using vb 3.6.8

Make sure that you give the right group permissions

[|Jordan|]

I have all groups defined able to use it (except banned). It still wont display.

What did you put in the template edit??

[|Jordan|]

I followed your instructions in your second post:

To Display all navbars under each other

open your template let's say navbar
we want to display navbars under breadcrumb
so we find
Code:

<!-- nav buttons bar -->

add below it
Code:

$dev_navbars

[Developer]

I followed your instructions in your second post:
This as i did in my test forum, i don't see any mistake in this !! ...
check every link's group permissions ...

[|Jordan|]

The navbar itself doesnt even display, let alone any links on it. When i save the navbar (and check the usergroups), and go back to edit the navbar - none of the usergroups have checkmarks on them.

What's your vb. version number??
Edit:
try to run this queries:
UPDATE `devnavbar_navbar` SET `bargroups` = 'a:1:{s:14:"membergroupids";s:13:"4,6,7,2,5,1,3";}'
UPDATE `devnavbar_links` SET `linkgroups` = 'a:1:{s:14:"membergroupids";s:13:"4,6,7,2,5,1,3";}'
this will enable all links and navbars to many groups, i am testing something with that ..

[SuperTaz]

"3-Drop down menus"

When is the update coming out for this mod? I would like the option highlighted above.

[HarryBO]

Hi Developer!

I?m still waiting for the update for the small navbar ;) Can you tell me when it comes?

[Busterking]

I couldn't get the second link to work (many usergroups created).

I deleted everything and I then created a navbar with only certain usergroups enabled.

I then followed the same usergroups for the links in that navbar and all is fine now.

It seems like the tick marks won't stay for the usergroups in the link if they are not allowed originally in the navbar when first created.

Make sense really.

[Busterking]

Had to uninstall.

Causing all kinds of errors on my forums. But I am using 3.6.7 which could be the problem.

[mrghostno1]

Seems not to work with Element Blue skin...

Newbe here,

I am stuck on item 2 in the instructions. You say to 2-upload files to their destination directory. Could you be a bit more specific?

I tried installing the two xml files from Product Manager. The product-dev_navbar.xml installed. The cpnav_dev_navbar.xml file tells me it is not a Valid file. I don't know where to put the dev_navbar.php file.

This looks like a real nice addition to my site so I am anxious to get it installed and test it.

I have the same problem... How can i fix it? I have 22 usergroups...

[forumrunt]

installed worked fine for one sec now it wont show anything :(

Will keep trying

[abdulla1]

custom buttons like what??

My site is custom navbar, not like the default VB ones.

take a look please: click here (http://www.chessleaders.com)

so i wonder if its possible to use the hack,
thanks :)

[wd4x4]

The new page or self page setting
does not work

Same issue here. Is there no fix yet ?

[jwaggoner]

Nice mod!!! There were some small errors in the scripts: TABLE_PREFIX was missing for some WHERE statements in the php file.

Also I've took out the ENGINE=MyISAM database bit to ensure the devnavbar_navbar table is created for versions of mySQL not supporting this type of databases.

Also I've changed the script a little bit to group multiple nav bars in one table (instead of having each bar in a seperate table) and to spread the columns evenly using the width attribute. Have a look if you want to revert this in your official download...

nice work ...

how can i use this hack on Portal vBadvanced CMPS ?????

[KURTZ]

Dev, any chance to get this onto 3.7.0?

[Neutral Singh]

Not working in 3.7.0???? :(

[ChicagoCoin]

Not working in 3.7.0???? :(

Thanks for this mod! Just wanted to mention that it's working fine for me with 3.7.3 patch 1.
I've had this installed and working for over a year.
Also wanted to thank jwaggoner, my links are now appearing properly with the new width formatting, I also used to receive a database error when i clicked on View Navbars and clicked on the Name Link, that doesn't happen anymore!

[thompson]

very nice.

[cisco123]

im going to be adding this

[bluidkiti]

I just used this on my site and I have the 3.8 Gold version and it works great. This is a great mod. Thanks a bunch. :up:

[ChicagoCoin]

Sorry about this reply to a very old thread but I had this mod disabled for a long time and I currently can't uninstall it from the plugins page, I'm going to upgrade to vb4.2.3 soon and am trying to get rid of my mods.

I get database errors when trying to uninstall, I think it might have started when php was upgraded but I'm not sure. I saw the 2 database tables of vb_devnavbar_links and vb_devnavbar_navbar in my database.

I've tried to delete the tables and then upload and import the 1.02 files in this post #57: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1473280&postcount=57
and the problems remain. I've deleted the files and the db tables and DevNavbar remains on my Manage Products page. This is the only plugin that I can't remove...

edit: Error Message when trying to uninstall:
