thanks Atakan

[Hornstar]

Can you include subscription payments into the menu for us? the more areas it is in the better ^^

[habilonline]

[Jeordie015]

I'm with you on this one...what does it do?

[prowarfare]

I have made a custom navbar, Can you post the code we need to insert for this to work?

[Howell]

Excellent *installed*

Is it also possible to make this function in the navbar on the vBAdvanced page?

[MrNase]

I'm with you on this one...what does it do?

I try to explain:

By default there is only a simple link to the User CP. You have to edit the template 'navbar' so that this little menu opens when you click the link (see screenshot, normally you are taken to the User CP directly).

This Add-on generates this menu for you so that you don't have to edit the template every time a new version of vBulletin comes out. :)

[BarcaMaroc]

Thanks man but I am using a template I got here and it doesn't work.
What do I need to change in the template you really didnt say what.

[Derekclarke]

Works Great... As per the post by Super Jinni it would be good to get this working on Vbadvanced.

[sdavis2702]

I don't know why I never thought to do this already. Thanks!

[TheInsaneManiac]

I really like this, but unfortunately it does not work on one of my styles. So I was hoping you could just post the template edit and I manually add it to all my templates.

Still need help on this. Here is my original way the template looks:
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/nav_div.gif" alt="" /></td>
<td align="center" class="h_nav"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/nav_div.gif" alt="" /></td>

</if>

[tazzarkin]

Okay. After experimenting with my custom styles, this is what I guessed...

Take the original "UserCP" in the NavBar:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="{$vbulletin->options[bburl]}/usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>

And replace it with:

<td id="usercpnmenu" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="{$vbulletin->options[bburl]}/usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a> <script type="text/javascript">vbmenu_register("usercpnmenu"); </script></td>

This seems to make it work. (Took it from the xml file.)

Is that correct?

[tazzarkin]

A second idea is to edit the template file and create a 2nd Global template called "Header_navbar_user_menu". So then there would be two global templates.

Then change every templatecache['navbar'] to templatecache['header'].

This should make it search the header template as well as the navbar template. That's my guess, but I want to ask the author, Atakan KOC.

Because many of our custom navbars are in the header template as well as the navbar template. I want to test it out, but I am a little afraid because I've never made an xml file before.

Would that work? Could you make a new xml that would search the navbar template AND the header template?

(might as well search the head include and footer too, since those are the main 4 templates they always use for custom styles)

By the way, it's cool how you did this. In the future, I think I'll make an xml file/special template for all my dropdown menus. I need to practice a little though.

One added note: It would be cool to make a mod that would make the xml file for any drop-down menu you choose. You would input the drop-down title, then drop-down items and links, and then the Title and Template name. Then you hit enter and it would make the xml file for you. That would be cool.

[tazzarkin]

Atakan KOC,

I talked about your xml file in this link:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=183578

Based on this, I suggested a new mod that would make menu creation so easy. Do they have something like that? Okay... enough for one day. lol.

[RedGTiVR6]

Hrmmm - sure would be nice to be able to easily add links to this drop down....

---------------------------------------

Actually, it is easy... either you change them in the original xml file and then upload it again (with overwrite) as a product, or you just make a change to the template file in the particular style.

Takes a little practice, but after you do it a few times, it becomes a piece of cake.

Thanks to the author for the mod. It taught me an easy way to make menu changes for all my drop-don menus. Thank you so much!

[RedGTiVR6]

I know it's possible that way, I'm saying it would be cool to have a box or something in the AdminCP where you can add a link without having to type code.
