Double navigation buttons bar

[Dream]

This was the best solution to have more navbar links I saw so far.

Edit "navbar" template, find

<!-- breadcrumb, login, pm info -->

add before

<!-- top nav buttons bar -->
<div class="tborder" style="padding:1px; border-bottom-width:0px">
<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="index.php?$session[sessionurl]">Home</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a></td>
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=process&showposts=0&starteronly=1&exactname=1&searchuser=$bbuserinfo[username]">My Threads</a> / <a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=process&showposts=0&exactname=1&searchuser=$bbuserinfo[username]">Replies</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#" onclick="window.open('misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=buddylist&amp;focus=1','buddylist','statusbar=no,me nubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars =yes,resizable=yes,width=250,height=300'); return false;">Contacts</a></td>
</if>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]">Social Groups</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="online.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[whos_online]</a></td>
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$admincpdir/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]">AdminCP</a></td>
</if>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- / top nav buttons bar -->

Hi Dreaminho I returned to ask u...
It's possible to have a 3rd NavBar with just links related to that SubForum? [i.e. Phones, Games, etc]

[Boofo]

You know you can do this as a plug-in and automatic template replace, right? I have already done this if you would like to see the plug-in.

[tctransporter]

Cool, I've been looking for a double nav bar my version. BTW: I only have version 3.6.8 :s Is there a 3.7 version I'm missing?

[shawon025]

very very thanx ..... i already applied into my forum

[choccyclaire]

This is just what I need, and so simple! Thanks. :)

[iogames]

Can I see it please?

iogames, PM me so we don't clutter up his thread.

no doubt: Plugins are in most ways the best solution and it's really no big deal to write an Plugin as you already did. But in this case I'd recommend to use TMS! In most Codes (esp in HTML Codes) always the best solution ;)

[Boofo]

Yes, the plug-in was a big deal as getting it to work in the arcade was a nightmare.
TMS is great if you have it installed and are using it. Alot of people aren't yet.

[jwhale]

hi there, Firstly, this is a great peice of code for a simple partial coder like me, thanks.

What i want to do is display a link on the navbar based upon what page a user is currently looking at. So, for example, a user who is logged in (ie <if condition="$show['member']">) gets to see a bunch of links in menu, then say for example the main forums page (I am using vbadvanced cmps) has a link to the home index page, and the home index page has a link to the main forums page?

anyone can answer this simple condition test?

[iogames]

Yes, the plug-in was a big deal as getting it to work in the arcade was a nightmare.
TMS is great if you have it installed and are using it. Alot of people aren't yet.

What's TMS? :rolleyes:

[DarkSorrowz]

How do I make it so I can make it go to another link and not take you to

www.forumhome.com/www.redirectedlink.com

I want it just to take you to

www.redirectedlink.com

when you click it

(Note: Those are not the actual links)

How would I add another usergroup to the AdminCP part here.....

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$admincpdir/index.php$session[sessionurl_q]">AdminCP</a></td>
</if>

I added after the 6 using a comma, and it did't work, any help would be appreciated and thanks for a nice hack.

[Mike-D]

What's TMS? :rolleyes:The Template Modificatn System is one of the best vB Hacks ever and has been released by Andreas. You can find it here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=152931) :)

Please note: Probably you'll need a lil bit time to understand what TMS can do and it's a lil bit complex too. But once you know how it works you'll never miss it ;) It's simply the best :up:

I got lazy and started doing automatic template edits for my hacks.

[Mike-D]

How would I add another usergroup to the AdminCP part here.....I went another way in doing that job. To add a Top Menu in the Top navbar is always the same. I've changed mine completely through TMS and here's the result of the Top Menu... :)

I'd like to see how you did the drop down for that. Can you PM me the code you used for it, sir? ;)

If you guys want to use this thread to share codes I don't mind. If you want to release your automatic template version I don't mind either, as I'm not changing this one to automatic template.

You know you can do this as a plug-in and automatic template replace, right? I have already done this if you would like to see the plug-in.

I too would like to see your plugin but ALL your modifications (at least for 3.7) are in the graveyard and unaccessable :confused:

Installed and rated. It works like a charm!

I love template edits like this one. I feel like I have more control.:D

Excellent Mod, Thank you! :)

[RedDevil]

thanks like this

[GSeybold]

Great mod.... Just one question. Is there any one to return all thread and post instead of just the last 50? Thanks a million. Again, great item.

[Dream]

not sure, thought it was paginated

[Keesa]

Used this again for a new template I am working on. Thank you again. I love simple modifications like this.

[csoroner]

Outstanding mod!

Installed easy, looks great and blended in nicely with the custom style I'm using.

Have a look-----> RippersPlace (http://rippersplace.com/forum/index1.php)

Thank you very much!

glad you like it :) very nice looking forum you have there.

How can I change the color of individual buttons/tabs in the navbar?

[Armyqt]

Installed. I have some duplicates on the to bar and the bottom bar has run beyond the borders? How do I re-map the links. For example, I have a quick links tab that has items that were default on the top navbar when I added this. Please help. My board looks a mess.

[Armyqt]

I really need an answer, my navbar is jacked up. Yeah it added the extra navbar, but how do i edit so I don't have duplicate inks? Please, I am no good at editing templates.

[Dream]

Armyqt you need someone who knows HTML to help you, its really simple when you know basic HTML (which is an easy language to learn; if you are interested check www.w3schools.com)

[GSeybold]

ok now that I have to reinstall everything due to a revert. I just wanted to say this mod is very helpful for my forum and my members love the addition.

Thanks so much for this.

Simply the best one double navigation bar ^^ - Installed - Tagged - Nominated :D

Perfect in 3.8.7

PS
Should be correct (i'm not a programmer) if i add a "<a href>" like this for add in the navigationbar some category or forums link?

For example, the default href is:
<!-- top nav buttons bar -->
<div class="tborder" style="padding:1px; border-bottom-width:0px">
<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="index.php?$session[sessionurl]">Home</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control">I want to add some of similar:
<!-- top nav buttons bar -->
<div class="tborder" style="padding:1px; border-bottom-width:0px">
<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.myforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=4">Home</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control">I don't know what is the correct sintax to add href like your :
a href="index.php?$session[sessionurl]this is not correct i think :S
<!-- top nav buttons bar -->
<div class="tborder" style="padding:1px; border-bottom-width:0px">
<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="forumdisplay.php?f=4$session[sessionurl]">Home</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control">....Can you help me?

[bruneiguru]

Does this work in 4.12 or is there an alternative for a second navbar?

Here the example,

I have replaced the Text and Links
