[DBTech] vBNavTabs

[richardevans123]

It does indeed

[DragonByte Tech]

That's strange, could you pm me a full admin account so I can try to figure out what's going on with it on your site.

Chris

[richardevans123]

Sent the PM

[DragonByte Tech]

I do believe it is fixed on your site, I left it disabled though and left Navigation Manager Enhancements enabled, so you can set up the tabs, as to many are enabled and mess up the navbar display.

Chris

[richardevans123]

Brilliant Thanks

[n00bl3t]

Not sure where I went wrong...which I don't think I did.

I installed it and it messes up my style; giving it a white background and kinda stretches it out. I didn't even get to test the plugin itself. Once I mark disable and refresh the page it goes back to normal.

Any suggestions?

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

I'm running vbulletin 4.2.0 patch 3 and uploaded the 1.2.0 version of this for vbtabs 4.2 only.

[n00bl3t]

bump!

Would really like to get this working as it is one of the only tab plugins with dropdown ability!

Thanks!

[CNY750Rider]

I just upgraded to 4.2 PL3 (finally) and when I reinstalled this it blanked out my sub menu on the navbar?

If I disable the product, the submenu returns. It does this on my default style as well!

I uploaded all the contents of the 4.2 as noted in the install info? Please advise, it is disabled for now.

EDIT:

This mod is still making the submenu disappear....

[mofeu]

Thank you very much I installed .
I have a small problem.
The "search" was moved.
before was :

TBH it don't even look right in the first screenshot, is this a custom style that is available on vb.org, also which version of vb are you running?

Chris

[mofeu]

I am running vb v.4.20 .
The custom style is from vb.org ,
During the past I had problem with header.
I don't know why but the "searchbox" change position without doing anything.
So I add to "additional.css" a code that I found on another template to move the "searchbox" on another position.

[DragonByte Tech]

If you give me the link to the style, and the edit's you performed I can try it on my dev and see what I can come up with.

Chris

Hello,
i just can't create tabs, because i get no function to this!
I just can manage the "Genrell Settings", but not even more!
I'm running vB4.2pl3

kr Chris

[DragonByte Tech]

What happens when you click on General Settings? If you are trying to create tabs from there you can't in vB v4.2.0+ you have to do that in the Navigation Manager.

Chris

[Za4a Tuner]

Thanks for your answer, i use vb4.2pl3, and i know that i've to use the navigationmanager. But with the vB-manager i can't create DropDown-Tabs! And this AddOn seems to do this ... but i can't create anything.

In the generall settings i just the last menu-point is: "Sublink Menus Open On Hover?"

kr Chris

[DragonByte Tech]

That has to be done in the Navigation Manager also.

It is a small process but not to difficult.

1) Create a tab.
2) Create a menu for the tab.
3) Edit the tab and the last setting, "Select The Menu To Act As The Dropdown." select the menu you just created, click on save.
4) Add links to the menu you created, these are what will show up as the dropdown items in the tab.

Chris

You may as well write here what is the name of the style you got and where did you get it, so he can test it.

[pcam]

I installed the 4.2.0 xml and uploaded the 4.2.0 files for my first installation of vbnavbars. The admincp left frame had only 1 drop down for vbnavbar saying general. There was no add, sub, etc. from the screenshot I've seen. I tried to install the regular on top of 4.2.0 thinking the 4.2.0 might have something missing the other had, with no success. I am now uninstalling to reinstall 4.2.0 and hopes it has the right amount of settings.

[DragonByte Tech]

That is all that is supposed to be in the version for 4.2 all the other options are controlled by the Navigation Manager now.

Updated v1.2.1

Feature: Added DBTech Affiliate ID support.

4) Add links to the menu you created, these are what will show up as the dropdown items in the tab.

That was key to me but didn`t find it until later. For the 4.2 version that is critical to understand this mod. Could you add it to the 4.2 as a read me.

[goodsamaritan]

How do I center my VB5 forum menu ?

[DragonByte Tech]

I am not sure what it is you want, could explain a bit more, perhaps some screenshots.

Chris

[deanattridge]

Chris,

I setup NavTabs and had it all working during testing with two main tabs, each with a menus and 4 link on each.

I then built a third tab an the whole thing has now ceased to show any of the drop downs. they are setup with correct permissions to usergroups were working very well. I have systematically gone through disabling from last to newest built. I tried re-installing and rebuilding from scratch.

Is there perhaps a limit to the amount of times you can use the lite version or something else that may cause this ?

Confused - Dean

[DragonByte Tech]

No there should not be a limit, was the third tab you created a normal tab or another droptab? If it was a droptab how many links did you assign to it before it broke?

Chris

[rcsparks]

My friend, so sorry to ask a repeated question - this mod will allow me to re-arrange existing tabs as well?

[DragonByte Tech]

Unfortunately no, that can not be done in vBulletin versions less than 4.2 with the mod, it would have to be done in the template, or delete all the current tabs and re create them with the mod.

Chris

[deanattridge]

No there should not be a limit, was the third tab you created a normal tab or another droptab? If it was a droptab how many links did you assign to it before it broke?

Chris

Chris,

I added 3 tabs to each and it was working, I then added a 4th and 5th to one and it may have been then that it broke.

I have systematically worked back through disabling all usergroup access controls and cut down to one link and cannot get it to work again. I also built a brand new tab with menu and link, again that won`t work. All was fine - its very strange.

Maybe I can PM you access see if you can work it out ?

[DragonByte Tech]

Sure, pm me a admin account and ftp info and I can see what I can do, as I am unable to replicate that on my test site.

Chris

[DragonByte Tech]

Just a quick note:

This plugin will not work with vB 4.2.1

If you upgrade to it disable this mod, I will be looking into updating it to work with the new features they added as soon as I can.

Chris

[Bluefin221]

BTW I downloaded this VB 4.2.0 a couple of things...

The download lists its the pro version when its obviously not.
The navbar tabs do not add automatically even on the default theme.

[DragonByte Tech]

I fixed the download, thanks.

Did you upload the contents of the folder vBNavTabs For vB 4.2 ONLY!!! or the Upload folder? And did you import the product xml in the XML folder or the XML folder found in the vBNavTabs For vB 4.2 ONLY!!! folder?

Chris

[Bluefin221]

Damn I should pay more attention what a ridiculous mistake.

[DragonByte Tech]

Not a problem, it happens to all of us. :)

Chris

[DragonByte Tech]

Just a quick note, this has a version that is compatible with vB version 4.2.1 but it is in beta for the Pro version, it is being tested and should be released soon.

[SilverBoy]

Hi Chris

I noticed that your product didn't offer second navbar for vb 4.2.x?
Is there a way to make this possible? even if I use the normal navigation manager, I have to use second navbar but I'm stuck !!

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

[DragonByte Tech]

Actually in 4.2.x Pro version of the mod you can have unlimited navbars. There is one issue in 4.2.1 at the moment that vbulletin droptabs are not working in the additional navbars, but it will be fixed as soon as we get a chance to debug it.

Chris

[SilverBoy]

Good Chris :)

When do you think you can fix your product?

BTW, I'm now using vb4.2.1 and I'm ready to give your pro version a try, but I'm using this product too
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=283123
I use it to deal with sections, because I don't get any other product handle CMS sections like this one, so I want to ask if there is any conflict may occur when using your and Andreas products in the same time? and do your product have a good way to handle CMS sections like Andreas product do?

Another point, you said your product can make unlimited navbars, so could I move any default tab (like blogs, what is new, forum ..) or tabs coming with products (like vbtube, photopost, experience, iReviews .....) to another navbar and work perfectly with there menus and links?

I wish you can give me a reply as soon as possible because I'm in hurry :).

Thanks in advance.

[DragonByte Tech]

I am hoping soon, the team is a bit swamped at the moment.

I am sure there would be some conflicts running both mods at the same time so that would not be recommended. What exactly does his mod do with the CMS, readding the description is a bit vague.

any tab that is in the navigation manager will work in the additional navbar, with links and menus.

Chris

[SilverBoy]

Hi Chris

I highly recommend you to install Andreas mod in vb4.2 copy of vbulletin to understand why all people need his hack.

For me the most important part is the CMS sections, where you can assign section/s to a tab, then when you go to that/those sections that tab will be highlighted and articles tab not, even if you opened an article in one of those sections that tab will continue highlighted.

So, if you can add this feature to your product yuo will solve the problems for a lot of people.

Regards.

[SilverBoy]

I bought the pro version and waiting your fixes to the drop-down navtabs issue.

BTW, I don't get conflict between your mod and Andreas mod, but his mod has some of features which is broken after 4.2.1, but the sections part is still work and it is what I need from that great mod.

[DragonByte Tech]

Thanks for the support, and the feedback. I am hoping to get some time this weekend with the team to sort the dropdown issues in the second navbar.

Chris

[SilverBoy]

Hi Chris.
Do you mean the dropdown works fine with the first navbar now?
What about the sections feature that I requested, do you plan to add it and some other useful feature from Andreas mod to yours?
Thanks.

[DragonByte Tech]

Yeah droptabs work in vb4.x in the first navbar, but did not the additional navbars, I loaded a fix to the Pro version on DBTech to solve that, just waiting for confirmation from a few sites to make sure it is working correctly.

It is not the tree type dropdown like the other mod, just normal dropdown tabs.

I will be looking into additional features during the next upgrade of the mod, but it is not currently scheduled for a update yet.

Chris

[SilverBoy]

I tried the drop-down tabs in the first navbar but without luck !!
I will wait your final fix, and I wish you will give approximate date for new features :).

[DragonByte Tech]

BTW, I don't get conflict between your mod and Andreas mod, but his mod has some of features which is broken after 4.2.1, but the sections part is still work and it is what I need from that great mod.

It should be working, I have about 10 sites now that have confirmed it is working on all navbars. I would get the latest Pro files from our site and update the mod on your site.

If after loading the pro files and it still don't work, you will have to post the issue on our site in the proper forum so we can proceed.

Chris

Chris

[mikesafl]

Does this have the option to where i can make it where all tabs cant be seen by guests?

[SilverBoy]

The conflict was with Andreas product, now it works fine.
I wish you add Andreas great options to your great product as soon as possible.

Thanks Chris.

[DragonByte Tech]

You would have to edit each tab individually and set their usergroup to UserGroups NOT Allowed To See TAB.

Hi Guys

I updated this add-on because I updated to 4.2.1, even though I thought it was working ok. Our drop down menus are a solid blue colour now, Rather than white....Any ideas?

*I've fixed the problem above, but now we have lost our search tab on the right. Any help would be great.*

[mdills]

Where should the configuration settings for this plugin be? When I install the 4.2 version (using the files from the 4.2 folder) all I get is a menu section in the Admin area, with "general settings." I don't see anywhere to add tabs, drop-downs, etc. Where do I find those settings?

[DragonByte Tech]

That is correct.

That is all that is supposed to be in the version for 4.2 all the other options are controlled by the Navigation Manager now.

Hi all,

After a successful beta period, vBNavTabs is now at v1.3.1 , which now works on vB v4.2.1.

Changes in this version.
Removed support for droptabs and target (in vB version 4.2.1) as that is built into the core software now.
Fully compatible with vB v4.2.1Chris

[mitch84]

this version (1.3.1)is compatible with vb4.2.0 or I use a previous version?thx

Just paid for a re install for this and the Wall, thanks guys, glad its working on 4.2.1

[TheEliteGaming]

I can only see General Settings, no Link/Tab/Dropdown menu settings.

vB 4.2.1
Used the vB 4.2 filed to install/upload ect...
have added the 2nd navbar

To add the *.xml file I used to upload it from my PC and did not upload it to the folder on the vBulletin server.

Please help. Thank you.

[DragonByte Tech]

That would be correct, in vB 4.2 all the other settings are found in the Navigation Manager.

Chris

[Toorak Times]

Using the pro version I have a wrning that I am using too many tabs, yet the the mod says unlimited tabs...should I ignore the warning?

[DragonByte Tech]

Yeah it is safe to ignore that message.

Chris

Does the MOD interfere in any way with the default Navigation Manager, or does it enhance its functionality?

[DragonByte Tech]

No it does not interfere, it enhances the Navigation Manger.

Chris

[dany_danay]

Yesterday I upgrade to 4.2.1, but tab with menu, now don't work...

[DragonByte Tech]

That is stock in 4.2 now, so you can re make the tab with a dropdown through the Navigation Manager.

Chris

[dany_danay]

My upgrade is from 4.2 (works) to 4.2.1 (not work)

[DragonByte Tech]

Upgrade to the latest version of the mod, you are running a older version.

Chris

[dany_danay]

Yeah, i renew my license and update it. Now works perfect

[Toorak Times]

Yeah it is safe to ignore that message.

Thanks Chris, I was worried and it created a problem for me, now I can get the job done

[My Hattiesburg]

I've downloaded this and installed the 4.2 upload contents to the site. After install I noticed that I have the same problem that others spoke of but didn't see a fix - in the ACP I have an option for general settings but nothing else.

So I did some exploring and found that in the regular (not 4.2) upload folder there's a folder [DBTech] vBNavTabs v1.3.1 [Lite]\UPLOAD\dbtech\vbnavtabs\actions that doesn't exist in the 4.2 folder. So I uploaded that to the appropriate folder, ran the XML again, but it still doesn't show anything in ACP except General Settings. Are there some files missing or something? The XMLl script didn't complain either time I ran it.

I want to create a tab similar to your Reviews tab that has an arrow on it (ideally, but not absolutely necessary) and when you click the tab a dropdown box comes up with links to other pages. My navbar is getting too big and I need to consolidate some of the links onto one tab.

I don't see an option like that in the Navigation Manager but maybe I just don't know what to look for or how to do it in there.

Hello,

My name is Lee and I Administer Team MP (http://ww.teammp.net).

We recently installed your product here and began to use it. However the tabs drop down menu's are not working. We have added the Top MP games with a Menu and 2 links. Only the tab is showing. Also the sub nav bar is now blank below the main tabs. It was full of links and dropdowns before we installed that mod. :confused:

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Edit: The tabs are working now. But the Sub nav bar is still empty.

Also, How would I go about changing the Drop down menu's background color? I cannot find the Variable anywhere. Or is that where you have to create the new folder and other stuff?

[ozzy47]

Thanks That fixed it. This should be added to the instructions.

It should have automatically done that when the mod was installed, but for some reason it did not on your site.

Oh. ok thanks.

Still trying to figure out the how to change the dropdowns background color. For some reason it is assuming the sites background color. I have been combing code since last night and still have not found where to change this. So, I am going to try to just add a variable for this very issue unless there is an easy fix.

Hello,

I've installed your LITE @ my vBulletin v4.2.1 and unless that was intended for the demo LITE version, all I can see in my cp is the "General Settings", which allows me pretty much enable and then disable the mod and that's all, I can't add one single NavTab or anything else for that matter.

It's been tested on a clean install of vBulletin v4.2.1 Patch 1 (the newest release before the bugged v4.2.2), anyhow, any idea?

I bought the pro version of this mod just to split my too-long navbar into two separate shorter menus.

I'm using vb4.2.2

Have a question. I uploaded, added product, edited navbar template and trying to add a drop down.

I have the main tab already setup. I tried adding a 'menu' to that main tab and a link below the menu but I don't see a drop down. What have I done wrong?

----Updated----
As I poke around more I am realizing the drop down menu feature already existed in 4.2.2? Either way I can't seem to get a drop down created from my manually added tabs.

[ozzy47]

1) Create a tab.
2) Create a menu for the tab.
3) Edit the tab and find the setting, "Target Menu" select the menu you just created, click on save.
4) Add links to the menu you created, these are what will show up as the dropdown items in the tab.

[afmarko99]

Thank you Ozzy. I didn't know I needed to go back and edit the Tab after adding the Menu to it.

You da man!

From all the images provided, I've not found anyone that indicates the mod do create dropdown menu directly from Navigation tab as Lite or Pro version.

Also, can I add a "Register" and "Login" buttons to this NavTabs and give permissions to view or hide to registered and unregistered users to have access to each of the buttons?

From the explanation of what this mod can do with regards to creating dropdown menu tabs, can anybody please show me some screen shot of this?

From all the images provided, I've not found anyone that indicates the mod do create dropdown menu directly from Navigation tab as Lite or Pro version.

Also, can I add a "Register" and "Login" buttons to this NavTabs and give permissions to view or hide to registered and unregistered users to have access to each of the buttons?

Please advise.

Which version of vB4 are you running.

[aaronhaul]

I am using vB version 4.2.2 PL 1.

I just installed in my Site and it broke my site.

Before:

After:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=148605&stc=1&d=1395878435

Please how can I fix this or make it work?

Is there any similar Mod that can show or hide a particular tab from Registered or Unregistered Users and Other User types?

Please advise.

[ozzy47]

It appears broke because your custom style is not compatible with the mod, it displays the navigation elements completely different. I would suggest asking the style developer for help adding what you need. :)

[aaronhaul]

Yes, and I have uninstalled the Plugin. The site is stable now. I am looking for either a code snippet or add-on that can hide the "Register" and "Login" tab from already registered users.

Please is there any from vbulletin?

See below image with a "Register" and "Login" tab

[ozzy47]

You would need to ask the style developer on how to do that, as no one knows how the style was coded.

But you could find the code in your templates and wrap it with a conditional:
<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">Show this to guest only</vb:if>

Could anyone tell me if it's possible to make the Dropdown Tab act as a link itself, if it's possible? Currently I have it set to where you hover over it and you see the dropdowns and can click on the links within the dropdown, but I'd like for a user to be able to click on the Dropdown Tab titled 'Forums' and for it to be able to be a link itself like it used to. The dropdowns are certainly more important, which are great by the way, but I was just wondering if this could be done as well. Thank you

[DragonByte Tech]

Why not just create a normal tab? The whole purpose of a drop-down tab is to condense sub-links into a menu, not have the menu itself take you anywhere.

Thanks for the response Fillip, but I do understand the purpose of a drop-down tab. I asked if it was possible to make the drop-down tab an actual link itself. Is it? Meaning, technically it is a live link if you click on it, and if you just hover it acts as a drop-down.

The way it used to be was when one clicked on 'Forums', the page would load with 'ALL' forums on one page for one to view and scroll through at once if they wished to do so, and so I'd like to 'still' have that functionality without creating a new Tab, because I'd then have 2 Tabs sitting next to eachother both labeled 'Forums'.

Thank you

Mixed problems as well with vBulletin 4.22 / vBNavTabs (Lite) (vB 4.2.0+) 1 1.31

Stops some styles from using fluid or fixed when enabled and otions to add/edit tabs are missing in cp.

Tried many things here still very buggy

Thank youI don't believe there is a way to make it only a drop-down tab on hover, and that would also not be very touch friendly.

Does the pro version of this mod allow me to make a "mega menu" and/or a nested menu? (That is, have a menu open into another menu?)

I can't figure out how to embed a mega-menu into the navbar, so I was looking at this mod as a way to get this done.

Something like either of these ...

what about vb3 ?

[Spangle]

If you are using 4.2.x you don't need this MOD, it can be done in the Navigation Manager

what about vb3 ?We have no plans to bring this to vB3 at this time.

Just picked up the pro version and see that purevb's styles do not play nice with it. Anyone dealt with this in the past and can tell me what to look for? Using the Modern style from purevb.

You need to ask questions on the developers site concerning the Pro version of the mod.

Yes there has been issues with those styles, and the developer will handle it for you. :)

[kylek]

Thanks Ozzy47, Have posted over there but thought maybe someone might know who has gone thru this over here.

[CuteC@t]

Its a very nice mod but I did an accident and need help.
I choose a wrong "Parent Item" for community (menu) = vb_ navigation_ menu_ vbmenu_ community_ text and now it doesn't appear anywhere. If someone guide me how can I fix it.

You should post more information on the difficulties you are having. This mod does work with 4.2.2.

Same problem, I only have access to "general settings"

[ozzy47]

That is all you are supposed to see in 4.2.x, all the other settings are in the Navigation Manager.

[Nelson58]

It does work with 4.2.2 pl2 because I am using it on my site. As usual, there is no manual and very limited documentary support. I note it has been since November 8th that supertemplado has been seeking assistance. You might want to try on their web site, and see if you can get any of these gentlemen to help you out.

Best of luck.

Nelson

[ozzy47]

Nelson, I just answered him,as well a kdoubt.

Yes it does work on 4.2.2 pl2, what is the specific problem you are having?

[Nelson58]

ozzy47, you are a good soul for doing so.

In general, one of the things that I learned playing with this mod is that, to have a menu in a tab, you have to create an item under a tab, define it as a menu, and then link the selections to it.

So, on our site for example, under Forum, I defined a menu item as Forum selections. That doesn't show, but the links you define with that as a parent will show, and lead you to each function that you define.

I have not found a way to use sub-menus at the same time, or to create an item in a menu that can have its own menu. I do not think the latter is possible.

Without a manual or documentation, you have to play around with this quite a lot until you get what you are looking for. I must have played with it for days until I got it. I am still not totally satisfied, but it does the job.

[ozzy47]

Well the way you describet to make a menu tab is controlled by vBulletin, not the mod.

As far as a item in a menu having it's own menu, this is not possible at this time.

How besides a lack of documentation are you unsatisfied, the mod does exactly as described in the OP, nothing more, nothing less. :)

The main thing it seems to do above VB is to allow multiple menus, which admittedly is very helpful. However, more than 2 menus seems to creep down into the forums.

I'd like the menus to have their own menus. Why? Because when you install a mod, many set up options in the navbar. When you transfer that to the menu you set up, you lose the ability to have those options, at least as far as I see (maybe I am missing something).

So, for example, if you install Ozz' Classifieds, there are many options, which is great, but you want to maintain those on the menu if possible. When you make a menu with a link, you cannot offer the options. They get lost.

Or am I just not doing it right?

Well pre, 4.2.x this mod, as well as a couple of other mods was the simplest way to add a dropdown tab. Now post, 4.2.x, this functionality was added to the vBulletin core software.

Yes it would be nice to have menus inside of menus, but this is not available in the mod at this time, and I am pretty sure it has been requested before, but it don't hurt to put in a feature request on their site to be sure.

[RaiinbowEyes]

For some reason it won't allow unregistered people to view the new tab's page. It asks them to log in. How do I fix this? I've tried leaving all of the boxes unchecked, and trying checking all of the boxes for user permissions for the tab. Neither works. :/ Any ideas? Thanks!

(Using vB 4.2.2)

Edit: Apparently not even regular users access it, as I was told by my users they can't. So only admins can? I have looked high and low in the settings and can't find the reason for this. Also it got rid of my sub navigation bar all together?

I'm curious about existing original vB Forum tab. Is it compatible or create same again.

[dmm2020]

I had this working before on my old website but now under 4.2 it appears that NONE of the navigation screens open in the admin menu. I only get the basic settings. How do I get around that?

Only screen I get is the general settings for this in the admin panel.

I have uninstalled the script several times and reinstalled it with same results.

Right now the permissions is the big issue. I tried to assign permissions so that only logged in and registered members and higher can see my Chatrooms link on the navbar, but only way it worked is if I removed all the permissions on that menu item. Not good. Still trying to trouble shoot.

And no, all I am seeing is the default navigation manager in the ACP. What I don't see is the stuff at the bottom that identifies it as your script, but similar layout.

I also want the submenus to appear in the submenu bar like it does when you click on Forum. I also have problems when I make the Arcade the default which is what I really want. Navigation is skewered when I make anything other than Forum as default. It really should not be this hard to change the defaults especially.

[dmm2020]

If you check your ticket for vbArcade that I submitted and you recently fixed for the pro version you have access to my admin panel still and can look and see. If you wish, I can email the info to you again.

[dmm2020]

I stand corrected. I turned it off and on to see if there was a difference. Been so long I forgot what default vanilla navmanager looked like.

However, the permissions are not working at my end. I want to block guests from seeing certain links and when I click the checkboxes for members in certain groups to be blocked from seeing a link, only I can see that link as admin.

[dmm2020]

Here is what I discovered. I had users who had not verified their email addresses as not able to the Chatroom link. The 4 people I asked to test my chatrooms had not went through the email verification yet. I am going to add the email verification mod to force that before registration can be completed.

Having said that, I owe you one. This mod seems to in fact work as designed. Just differences in the post images compared to what I saw was confusing.

[dmm2020]

Suggested Improvements:
1) We need to be able to edit the Product ID field. By default when we add new custom menu items it is showing vBulletin as the product ID which is not true. I would recommend a dropdown that selects from a list if installed and active products. It should still default back to vBulletin.
2) Submenu items should appear in the lower menu bar same as it does when you click on forums. Right now it is not doing that at friends-arcade.com. (Is this in the pro Version?)

I am planning on eventually buying the pro version but thought I would suggest these.
