How to add a link to Nav bar

[karlton87]

Im sorry if this has been done somewhere and im guessing it has but lots of people have been asking recently so here it is.

Follow these steps so that you can edit the template,

Go to Admin CP, then Styles & Templates. Choose Style Manager then on the drop down menu select Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates. Finally click navbar so you can see the navbar code.

Find
<!-- nav buttons bar -->
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">
<tr align="center">

Then directly below add,

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="LINK URL">LINK NAME</a></td>

Now you will have a new link in your nav bar.
I hope this simple template modification helps some people.

examples;
-you can add tags.php link to navbar
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="tags.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[tags]</a></td>
-you can add social groups link to navbar
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="group.php" target="_blank">Social Groups</a></td>
if you wanna show a link to members only you must add this code over
<if condition="$show['member']">
and don't forget close with </if>

Wow!

this 3.7.x version is creating a bunch of 'transitional mods' with very short life span or usefulness...
I should write an article on that :rolleyes:

And Unanswered Posts under quick links:

<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?searchid=15428">Unanswered Posts</a>

Or on the navbar:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?searchid=15428">Unanswered Posts</a>

How would you get a link to open in a new window?

[falguni1]

I want to put this in navbar Please give me the code wot to write.

1)my profile page (vb 3.7 profile page)
2)my subscriptions

[Jase2]

Edit Profile Page:

<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?do=editprofilepic">Edit Profile</a>

If you want it under "Quick Links", simple change "vbmenu_option" to "vbmenu_control".

Subscriptions:

<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="subscription.php?do=viewsubscription">My Subscriptions</a>

Regards Jason :)

Isn't this more an article than a modification? I guess it's nice anyway...

[NeuroLancer]

How would you get a link to open in a new window?

With simple html.

<a href="yourlink.php" target="_blank">Your link</a>

Based on your site it looks like you already got it figured out :)

[condottiere]

I did that and the link is there but I can't get the URL to work. I get:
mysite.com/fourm/mysite.com/blog
instead of just:
mysite.com/blog.

How do I get a link outside of the forum?

link directly using http://www.mysite.com/thisplace/index.php

[condottiere]

Thanks. That worked perfectly.

So I can really understand the difference. Just by adding 'http://' makes it work while not having that just adds it to the end of the existing URL? Why. I learning this coding slowly, but I really don't want to learn it all. Just make a few adjustments then pay someone else to do the rest (which I'm planning on doing).

[pootsey]

adding the http:// tells it to look at the whole address rather than the folder the forum is in :)

[condottiere]

I am now smarter than I was 2 seconds ago. Thanks.

[TimberFloorAu]

You can also, make the window popout.

Code we use is:

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="#" onClick="window.open('jukebox/index.php','JukeBox','toolbar=0,location=0,directo ries=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0 ,width=520,height=600,left=380,top=120');return false;">JukeBox</a></td></tr>

Where Jukebox is a folder/ in forum root.

If you wanted it to be say Ebay.

Just change to http://ebay.com/

Oh and add this in Table structure of Navbar.
Templates & Styles > Default(or your style) > Navbar

I do not see:

<!-- nav buttons bar -->
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">
<tr align="center">


In my navbar template anywhere. Default style.

I only see:

<!-- nav buttons bar -->
<div class="tborder" style="padding:$stylevar[cellspacing]px; border-top-width:0px">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
