Hi all,

Here is the situation...

My FORUM uses the "Cyb - Advanced Forum Statistics" mod. When a User turns this off, they get this message:

To re-enable them use "Enable Top Statistics" option in "Quick Links" menu.

The problem is that we do not show a "Quick Links" menu... probably due to our custom template.

So, I was hoping to add a link to the FORUM JUMP menu... I just don't know how to format the link.

I got to the FORUMJUMP template and i even got "Quick Links" to show in the "JUMP" dropdown menu by cheating a little bit.

I just don't know how to format the link it self.

Here is what I used to get the text in there:

<option value="quick" $frmjmpsel[nojs_link]>$vbphrase[quick_links]</option>

I know this isn't right.

Can someone help me?:)

I am running v3.8.1 at www.gunclangaming.com/forums

Thanks in advance.

have a look in the navbar template and copy the code from there.

Thanks for the response.

But, I am such a newbie that it just confused me more.

The links from the navbar template have "td class" and "if condition show$" text that i do not know what do do with. I tried copy/pasting both but couldn't get anything to happen.

Except now, I accidently got the default template to go live on my site....arrgghhh!

yes it can be a bit tricky if you're not familiar with the vBulletin template system. I find it OK if you think of it as mainly HTML with a bit of customised tagging.

In your situation, perhaps for now leave out the if conditions just to get it working. Give me a few minutes and I'll paste the code that you'll need to put in here.

ok so do a search for this in your navbar template:
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a id="usercptools" href="$show[nojs_link]#usercptools" accesskey="3">$vbphrase[quick_links]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("usercptools"); </script></td>
</if>
if you have it - then you will have quick links on your navbar - if not paste it in there.

you may want to leave the if condition in - as it shows only when a user logs in.
