Easy Navbar Links

[SuperTaz]

Description:
This template edit displays quick and easy links to your navigation.

Installation Time: Less than 1 minute

I got the inspiration from "yoyoyoyo" who made a similar mod for 3.6.8. Although his might work fine for this also, I decided to alter it a bit and cleaned up some code.

I did PM yoyoyoyo to use a variation of his hack but, since he has not been online since September 2008, I can't get a response.

Since yoyoyoyo came up with this type of template edit, all the credit goes to him.

Here is the mod from yoyoyoyo for version 3.6.8:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=160642

Template Edit:

Styles and Templates > Style Manager > Your Style > Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates > Navbar:

In the Navbar find:

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

Above it add:

<!-- Navbar Links -->
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:1px">
<tr align="center">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Your Title</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Your Title</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Your Title</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Your Title</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Your Title</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Your Title</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- / Navbar Links -->


Then click Save and Reload!

Done!

OPTIONAL:

If you want to show a link only to members use this:


<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Link Title Goes Here</a></td>
</if>


If you want to show a link only to members, and a different link to guests use this:


<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Member Link Title Goes Here</a></td>
<else />
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Guest Link Title Goes Here</a></td>
</if>


To make the link open in a new window use this URL instead:


<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com" target="_blank">Link Title Goes Here</a></td>


To make the link(s) only visible to certain usergroups use this:


<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X, Y, Z)">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Link Title Goes Here</a></td>
</if>


Substitute X, Y, Z with the ID numbers of the groups that you want to allow to see the link. If you only want one usergroup to be able to see the link then use: $bbuserinfo, X and substitute X with the ID number of the group that you want to allow to see the link.

Of Course you want to change the URL's to your site URL and direct the link to any site or feature you want for your site.

Any problems, let me know.

Make sure if you use this template edit to CLICK INSTALL.

Hi I just made these changes to my template's navbar but I dont know why I am not able to see the change. I checked and its saved in the code and I even cleared cache to reload and check but no luck. I must be doing something wrong. Since I added this new skin with buttons in navbar, even the previously added Links have disappeared. Sorry I am new to the navbar manual editing. If you require I could post my navbar code.

[inferno5]

Nevermind. I found all the links in the "header" section of the template. Why its not in navbar I dont know but my problem is solved. Thanks

[SuperTaz]

Glad to see you fixed it inferno. Make sure to mark installed if you use this mod.

[inferno5]

Marked as Installed!

Thank you.

Go to your "navbar" template and find this code:

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


ABOVE IT ADD THIS:

I am not that good. lol But, if you use the TMS system, you would not need the product. Just update your default style and the TMS system will do the rest. Did for me.

Fantastic! And so easy :)

Q. What is this "TMS system" referred to in previous post?

I have installed , but is any way to separate the two bars , instead one on top of the other?

I just installing this. My question is how do you make it so they are together. Mine is seperated like aircool52 wanted, but I want it the other way.... This is a screen shot of what I have now. I want mine below my original one (the way aircool52 picture looks).
EDIT, (just found out by playing with it): To make them one on top of the orginal NavBar, find the following code and place it above it:
<!-- 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">

However, I still need:
Lastly, when I look at the NavBar area, I can't find "Invite Your Friends" or "ChatBox Full". Where else would I find them so I can kill them off the orginal bar, and place them on the new bar, so it doesn't look so cluttered? So, being a noob, how can I do a search on "ChatBox Full" to find out what section it's in?

btw: This is exactly what I needed for my site....

[SuperTaz]

The "Invite your Friends" area is in the styles and templates > Choose your style > Invitation Template. Find the navbar link and copy it, then delete it.

What chatbox are you using?

[93Corvette]

The "Invite your Friends" area is in the styles and templates > Choose your style > Invitation Template. Find the navbar link and copy it, then delete it.

What chatbox are you using?


When I search through my files (I have attached them below), I cannot find anything with "Invitation Template". I'm going to ACP>Styles & Templates>Style Manager>Andromeda (my style)>using the pull down "Edit Templates">Expand all Template groups.
I go into all the Navbar files and do a seach for "Invite Your Friends" or "ChatBox Full" and cannot find anything. But, understand too, I am a Noobie, and I know I'm probably doing something wrong...
Is there an easy way of searching for these texts, that will show all instances of all files using them?
Here are my Templates.... Thanks again for your help!

[93Corvette]

Here are the remaining 3 files.... Sorry to have so many....

[SuperTaz]

For the CyB Chatbox, go to AdminCP > vB Options > CyB - Chatbox > scroll down to very bottom of that where it says this: "Automatically add link to ChatBox to NavBar". Set it to NO and save. Done.

For the Invitation System go to AdminCP > vB Options > Invitation System Options > "Automatic Link Creation" set to disable and save.

Done!

Then go to your forum homepage and look at the navbar. It will be taken away. For inserting them into the above navbar, I dont know. The Chatbox uses a hook somewhere that I cant find to add it. Invitation system I will have to search for you.

Warden-B-,

THANK-YOU~!!!!!

Dang, I was making it harder than I needed...(Please understand, I'm a noobie)

1. What I did is leave the "ChatBox Full" and the "Invite Your Friends" on, and I right clicked on them to get their properties. Then I added to your program Navbar.

2. Then I went to the Vbulletin Options. For noobs, that's ACP>vbulletin Options>Vbulletin Options>go down to Cyb - Chatbox and click "No" where it says "Automatically add link to ChatBox to NavBar". This will kill it off the orginal Navbar.

3. Do the same thing for the invite. For noobs, that's ACP>vbulletin Options>vbulletin Options>go down to Invitation System Options>"Automatic Link Creation" and select "Disable".

4. Dang it, here I was looking for code somewhere, and all it was was a dang pushbutton for the program.... Anyways, Warden-B-, I just wanted to thank you for getting me on the right track....

[kronnos]

Nice, but can the links be made with dropdows like here on vb.org. So when clicking on User Cp it gives you all the options of it.

[SuperTaz]

IT actually used to be a drop down list. I dont know why vBulletin changed it. Maybe they can shed some light on how to do that. I am working on another mod right now, but I will try to look into it for you, kronnos.

Your mod is great....but...1 things for sure...i need the links button scroll down, so for this examples...

Link1 | Links2 | Links3 | Link4 | Links5 | Links6

Thats ur links, but my links have about 20 links....so if i put in the navbar, can make too many links that can cunfuse for the people, so i want to make the simple for example :

LinkA v| LinksB | LinksC

And want i klik LinksA that will show :
Links1 --> go to links1 and open the new tab when user click
Links2
Links3
Links4
Links5
Links6

Like i said before, that the button on the link like USER CP links that have some down arrow, so thats make the simple links for my forum, do you have any mod for this? i will installed if you have, so sorry if my english is not so good and i hope my explanation can understand for who read my post.

Cause i had tried so many times but the down arrow button not correctly show up, just the links and not got what i want. And the condition is simple...just add that links and dont have make different about the user is login or soem guest, cause that links for connect to other website, so simple static links.

Combining Two Mods Together For Perfection!

With this mod which easily makes a second navbar combined with the "Advanced Navbar Links (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=120517)" mod you can have the power to add in drop menus (with icons), full permission control, single links, etc.. all editable from inside the AdminCP without having to edit the navbar menu except to initially install both mods together.

If you look at my attached screen shot you will see I have two navbars. I also have a drop menu for my blogs in the top navbar which I have made where each sub-link has icons!

Instructions For Combining These Two Mods Together:

STEP-1: Install this mod into you navbar template as instructed.

STEP-2: You only need to paste the following combined code: (Note: I used the code from this mod which only shows the second navbar to members. You can use the standard code from this mod if you wish to have guests view the second navbar as well. I gave that code example at the end of this post.)

NOTE: The BLUE code below is from this mod and the RED code below is from the "Advanced Navbar Links" mod.

<!-- Navbar Links -->
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:1px">
<tr align="center">
$custom_droplinks_cat
$custom_singlelinks
</table>
</div>
<!-- / Navbar Links -->STEP-3: Now install the Advanced Navbar Links (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=120517) mod.

NOTE: Ignore the step in that mod's instructions where it asks you to paste: $custom_droplinks_cat and $custom_singlelinks. You have already pasted these two codes into your navbar template in Step-2 above.

Step-4: Save your navbar template.

Step-5: You will now have a new AdminCP menu item for the Advanced Navbar Links mod. You can freely add in standalone or drop menu links with and without icons. This mod allows you to freely control all link permissions.

END EFFECT: With these two great mods combined together we now have full control over a second navbar that we can edit from inside the AdminCP without having to edit the navbar template directly each time we wish to add or update links.

FINAL NOTES: The Advanced Navbar Links mod does have one small bug which is discussed in their thread. It is no big deal. I now use this combo mod code and have complete navbar control the way we should have from the start in VB. Also, these hacks work perfect with vBadvanced as your homepage.

IMPORTANT: If you want your second navbar to be viewable to guests use the following code instead:
<!-- Navbar Links -->
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:1px">
<tr align="center">
$custom_droplinks_cat
$custom_singlelinks
</table>
</div>

This isnt working for me i get this error

public_html/PracticeForum/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(2359) : eval()'d code on line 6
Fatal error: Call to undefined method vb_activecache::flush()

when im trying to add the combine code to the navbar

your instructions are vague..you didnt mention that we are not supposed to uplaod the xml file so i upload that file and it wont upload im getting the same error

great concept but dosent seem to work with new vb :( is exatly what i need though


thanks warren great mod i installed your mod great work sir

Sorry did you mean my instructions are vague?

yes sir i installed what you stated in your instructions and im getting database errors and im getting errors that i mentioned..not sure what to do on this case..

[Brathamike]

Sweet i figured it out i had to turn off vboptimise seems like that mod had a issue looks like its all a go thanks for the add on mod great work you two keep up the good work will be looking for more of your mods

[yotsume]

yes sir i installed what you stated in your instructions and im getting database errors and im getting errors that i mentioned..not sure what to do on this case..

The Advanced Navbar Links mod is not mine. I can not answer why you would get a database error while trying to install it. I have it installed on my vb3.8.4 site just fine. I have switched to using another mod for my top row navbar since I needed a much easier way to make drop menus with sub-menus as well with icons...

I have uninstalled this mod here. If you want help doing what I have done in my screenshot please PM me. It is not my intention to detract from the developer of this mod. So if you have questions for me please do not post them in this thread.

EDIT: I just saw that you fixed your issue as I was posting this. It is my wish to come up with a way to have both the top and bottom row navbars both editable from withing the AdminCP without the use of template edits to create the menus. ;) The only strong point of template driven menus is you can simply backup the template and your menus to file.

Awesome!!!

I have installed this mod, working great. Had to modify the

border-top-width:0px

for

border-bottom-width:0px

to make the borders fit exactly, not big deal.;)


Now, I need some help creating a linked button.
I want to create 2 buttons with custom searches, for user specific (authenticated) and I don't now how to create or code the variable user. I do understand how to show the buttons for users and hide for guests, but simpy I can find a way to create the next variable for USER:

this is what I am trying to accomplish: (I need to know what to put on searchuser variable to make it work for any authenticated use)

forum _root/search.php?do=process&showposts=0&exactname=1&searchuser=[variable?] (when authenticated replaced by user name or #, example johnsmith)

I've been searching for threads on this but no success and I've seen implemented on other forums.

Help please :)

[SuperTaz]

Can you post an example to what you are trying to tell me from another site that does have this? I think I may know what you are trying to say, but I need an illustration to be sure.

[cybergas]

Sure!, you can test it on this forum!

I remember to see on some forums I registered back ago -among the hundred of them:o- on the Nav Bar 2 different buttons: My Replies or/and My threads.
Some forums had this both, some others just 1 of them.

When putting mouse over the buttons on my replies the button link showed the URL:
www.example.com/forum/search.php?do=process&showposts=0&exactname=1&searchuser=cybergas


For this forum with YOUR user it will be: (copy and paste, links are no parsed ;) )

My Replies (your replies on this case):

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/search.php?do=process&showposts=0&exactname=1&searchuser=Warden-B-

My Threads (yours on this case):

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/search.php?do=process&showposts=0&starteronly=1&exactname=1&searchuser=Warden-B-


As you might notice, this is a dynamically created query with each specific authenticated user once is on the Nav Bar button, this has to work for ALL the users, that's why I need to now the parameters to create the USER specific that will be the user clicking on the button.

I have seen this also at phpbb boards is it call "View my posts" button and does the same, a search query but with different variables than vBulletin.

Hope we can figure this, thanks for your interest!

Great mod. Quick and easy install.

For some reason my vb3.8 isn't showing the changes. My navbar template from very first line starts like this:

<br />

<!-- Navbar Links -->
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:1px">
<tr align="center">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.ontariostorms.com/misc.php?do=cybtpimx">Top Posters</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- / Navbar Links -->


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


The part in bold is the link to the "Top Posters" which is also available from the QuickLinks pulldown. But it's not showing up. ??? :confused:

http://www.ontariostorms.com (is the site I've edited where I want the link in navbar)

I can't believe I've used vBulletin for so long but never tried this mod! Thank you! :)

[SuperTaz]

Edited some text, but not the mod itself. :)

Sorry I could not get to your post sooner. I am mostly on the 4.0 series part now and will provide limited support for the 3.x series. But, if you want this mod to work for 4.0, use my mod here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228492

A simple question. Is it possible to position the second navbar links bar adjacent to the original?

Sorry for the delay. I have been busy with many things.
I don't understand what you are trying to say. Do you mean having the links similar to brick stacking?
