Additional side navbar

[attroll]

I am using this post for a test writeup for a modification I am creating on another site.

Despite what category this is in it works with vBulletin 3.0 up to the most recent version of 3.7.
What this does is create another navbar bar as a left column ny inserting $navbar3 in your navbar template.
With very little modifications you can add to, remove or move items around in this additional navbar.

To install the this
1. Download the zipped file.
2. Unzip the file.
3. Import the product-navbar3.xml into your Plugins & Products Manage Plugins.
4. In the footer template find:
$spacer_close
<!-- /content area table -->
Below that add;
<!-- leftside column -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / leftside column -->
5. In the navbar template find:
<!-- / PAGENAV POPUP -->
</if>
Below that add:
$navbar3
6. Upload the following file into your forum/images/misc/ directory
navbits_dash.gif
7. go into you Admincp and edit the template navbar3 to include the link you want to include in it.

Using this with CMPS
This xml file will work only on CMPS 3.0.0 it will not work on any of the previous RC versions.

If you would like to include this navbar3 on the front page of your CMPS you can import the following file "cmps_navbar3" through your Admincp--> vBa CMPS--> Download/Upload Module.

In adminCP - vBA CMPS Settings - Main Settings - Portal Output Global Variables type navbar3

You'll need to disable the original Navigation mudule or you're gonna have two of them on the page.

Thanks go out to Leo Brazil for creating the CMPS module.

Are you just trying to get people to look at your porn site?

Hello, I am looking for a side bar that can be turned off....... I have members who like to use a sidebar, and ones that prefer none.
Is there a way this can be turned on and off?

Many thanks

Question.

If you turn it off then how are the members going to know how to get to the links since they will not be able to see the navbar?

I think he means making it collapsible. Similar to here (http://www.webmastershelp.com)

That would set this sidebar apart from the rest, if it can be collapsible.

REQ:

-and option for ONLY forumhome. ;) :D

great work anyway though

[tonytly]

hi, my FORUMHOME layout is messed up when using this.
I attached a picture of it.

When i do a hard refresh [CTRL + F5], it works fine.
But when I open it again, its all messed up, so i have to do the refresh again.

Also, this happens in IE and not in FF, because they're the only browser i use

this mod is in conflict with https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=171540
I removed that one and this mod works perfectly :)

[TheComputerGuy]

What about the right hand side?

[Stefano Virgill]

Hi guys,
after using it for a while, I noticed that forum slows down a lot.
That's why I figured out a solution that may be helpful for those who noticed as well.
Instead of pasting "$navbar3" in Navbar template, just paste it into ForumHome template right after "$navbar".

Cheers

Stefano

[trigatch4]

Works well, thanks...

Only problem is it throws off my footer, pushing it about 50px or so to the right and out of the page container. Any ideas?

[trigatch4]

Also wondering if you could help me to put the normal navbar content with breadrumbs and login info into this sidebar instead of the typical spot running horizontally at the top of the forum?

[bgodbout]

I am having an alignment issue as well. But it is not due to the conflict that tonytly mentioned. I looks fine in the forumhome but when viewing a thread it squishes the sidebar and pushes the thread out of the table. Anyone else having this problem?

I have two questions
1. How did you install this, did you install it like the directions said and use the XML file.
2. In the style that you are using, do you have Main Table Width set at pixels or percentage? I did run into some issues when I tried using pixels. Try setting it to 95% or 100% and see if that fixes your problem.

[GoTTi]

i had similar problems with running this with the forum size set to 75%. i reverted to 100% and its working now.

[bgodbout]

Yes, I installed it according to the instructions. The widths are set in pixels so I will give it a go with percentages and see what happens.

[attroll]

Yes, I installed it according to the instructions. The widths are set in pixels so I will give it a go with percentages and see what happens.
Let us know what happens.

[treyb]

Can you help me install another 1 on the right side also?

[bgodbout]

Thank you for the quick responses.

I finally found a solution. I was unable to get the sidebar to display correctly in the threads BUT I moved the sidebar to the FORUMHOME template to only be showed on the forums home page which works out quite nice and displays perfectly. We have decided to use it as a extra area instead of a navigation replacement.

**NOTE** if you decide to do this as well you need to add a </table> tag at the beginning of the footer so it doesn't knock it out of line.

How do you get the navigation to move to the right hand side of the forums instead of the left hand side?

You need to go into your ADMINCP templates and edit the "navbar3" template.

Also, after installing this module, it turned the background to a light blue color instead of a white. How do I change that as well?

This may be interfearing with another hack you have installed. With out getting into you ADMINCP I can not troubleshoot this. I have never ran into this problem before nor has anyone else that I know of.

[TriMe]

I was able to fix the allignment problem.

navbar3 template had:
<td style="padding:0px 10px 0px 0px" width="175" valign="top" class="page" style="0px;">

and I changed it to:
<td style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px" width="175" valign="top" class="page" style="0px;">

Now my only issue is the blue background... Any ideas? This addon is awesome btw!
Thanks for your hard work.

Im not sure what you mean. Its in the left column and first module.

In your CMPS install instructions, you should also add a step otherwise it wont work.

In adminCP - vBA CMPS Settings - Main Settings - Portal Output Global Variables

It would be easier to use if it could be accessed directly within the vBulletin options from Admincp surely?
The user needs to do lots of to-ig and -fro-ing just to edt the links for each link.

I am not sure what you mean. You only need to go into your templates and edit the templates. If you are not familiar with HTML then this could be a problem but it is very basic HTML.

I had it working a while back but I had problems getting it to save the setting when you collapsed the box and it would not stay collapsed when moving around the web site or forums. I could not figure out how to keep it collapsed once you collapsed it.

But I still think this mod is incredible..

It is interfering with another hack you have in the site. That is why it is getting cut-off partway down the page. The side navbar is inside the original navbar template and that is probably why you can not get it to display below the banners. This could probably be done but I would have to set up a test site with all the hacks you have in your site to figure out how to get it to work. I am sorry but I do not have time to do something like that.

I installed the same style you are using in my test site tonight and everything worked fine with the side navbar. So that rules out the style being the problem.

I noticed when I logged into you forums tonight under the test account you gave me and you have a bunch of hacks installed in your site. I saw the following hacks installed in the top part of you forums:
My Profile Url
Hideout XSPF Music Player
Donation Goal
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

I have a very good feeling that it is one of these hacks that is causing the problem you are having. I am leaning towards the Donation Goal or the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) hack that is doing it. If you can you might want to disable those two in your plugins if they are plugins and then see if the sidebar works properly. I am not trying to come of rude when I say, I can not spend a whole bunch of time installing a bunch of hacks in my test site to try to figure out which hack you have installed that is interfering with this mod.

Any suggestion on how to move it to the right side instead of the left? We're looking at using it for some ad space, but don't want to have them all on the left side where they would cripple the site for PDA/Phone users ;).

Thanks for a quick/clean solution for a sidebar, we were really glad to be able to get rid of CMPS in the next generation of our site, and this helps quite a bit :: thumbs up ::

[s810car]

Well I would say post the sidebar stuff after the $forumhome_markread_script but before the "whats going on" area in a page.

The people mentioning they want a collapsible bar, its not difficult to set up a collapsible div for it, if you need the info I could PM it. I have a collapsible banner box on my forumhome page

[Fungsten]

I don't know why you are lloking for the footer template but if is in the ADMINCP uner Styles & Templates.

Because you say in the instructions:

Below that add;
<!-- leftside column -->

<!-- / leftside column -->

[TC Topps]

Thanks for your prompt return;

Actually the initial install is pretty straight forward. Even for a novice. I am running Vbulletin 3.8 and CMPS 3.1, Dynamics 2.1, Links 3.1. Works great!

Question: In my page layout I have a module selection that I can now choose to use in addition to Nav Site. I could place it on the right column if I prefered. But how do I get rid of the permenant (same appearance as new module) in the template on left side. and still keep the new listed module if I choose. Is the template clean_nav needed? I have tried a number of different things but can't find it or know how to.

I notice that the new module and page auto updates with the changes that I have made to vB template navbar3. That is great. But is there a way that the new module could be just used to associate with the new CMPS pages only! As an index just for a section or page navigation instead.

Because I would like to possibly clone it to use as a section for a specific page link. I noticed that modules could be copied but wonder how this would work.

If I could do a section index or page index. It would shorten the navbar if there is no way to quickly do a drop down or collapse.

Would I clone the new module and name each file navbar4 etc and install new xml files.

In my looking at the cmps_navbar3 xml file I was wondering if it could be edited so that it was just a module? I don't know. If it could be then it would give me more flexibility.

Thanks again,

TC Topps

[attroll]

TC TOPPS

I am not really sure what you are trying to say here.

You can always use the <if> statement to turn the menu on or off on all the CMPS pages or the forum pages. You will have to set it up the way you want.

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'">


I have one of my sites set up so it displays on all cmps pages and the forum pages but the portal has a totally different page.

[MTGDarkness]

Say I want to make this collapsible (see this theme (http://transversestyles.com/demo/index.php?styleid=72) for details). Any idea how I would do that?

[MindFixxer]

Just in case anyone wants to use this with 3.8.2, I just went through a few frustrating hours trying to get it to work with a certain theme. After doing some reading through the last 7 pages, and some experimenting, I got it to work nicely. (Which is no surprise, since the author of the product did a great job of making it.)

I just wanted the extra space on the front page. And after reading some of the posts in this thread, I went and read the advice offered here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1527077&postcount=32

Problem was, he wasn't very clear on just how he did it. So, hopefully, this will help out someone else if they are ever stuck.

First, I made sure that all instructions for a normal install were followed, with one exception noted below. Then, as suggested in the above post, I went to the style manager and began to edit the template: Footer >> FORUMHOME

The only variation from the original instructions was that, instead of placing $navbar4 in the Navbar template (as said in the instructions) I placed it only in the FORUMHOME template.

The part where I placed it looks like this:
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar
$navbar4
<if condition="$show['guest']">

End result: It works and looks great on just the front page.


Many thanks to the author of the code! :up:

[doubleclick]

Thank you for the quick responses.

I finally found a solution. I was unable to get the sidebar to display correctly in the threads BUT I moved the sidebar to the FORUMHOME template to only be showed on the forums home page which works out quite nice and displays perfectly. We have decided to use it as a extra area instead of a navigation replacement.

**NOTE** if you decide to do this as well you need to add a </table> tag at the beginning of the footer so it doesn't knock it out of line.

I tried this on my forum, adding navbar2 to just FORUMHOME and adding the </table> tag at the beginning of the footer. It looks great on Internet Explorer 6 and 8, but in Firefox 3.6 the right colum is too wide, as is the footer.

Can't where to control this so the whole right side aligns correctly. Any clues?
