vB Version: 4.1.11
This Add-on enhances the functionality of the Navigation Manager (vBulletin 4.2.0 Alpha 1 or higher) in various ways.
???
So which is it? 4.1.11 and up? or 4.2.0 and up?
Andreas
05-19-2012, 11:56 AM
This is obviously for vBulletin 4.2.0 Alpha 1 or higher, as vBulletin 4.1.X does not have a Navigation Manager ;)
But as vBulletin.org does not (yet) allow to select 4.2.0 as vBulletin version so 4.1.11 is being displayed.
djbaxter

Thanks. Wasn't sure what "Navigation Manager" actually meant. :)

Would this addon make it possible to have totally different sections for the CMS besides the (default) one and only?
Andreas
05-19-2012, 01:20 PM
Sorry, but I don't understand your question :(
The vBulletin CMS does allow you to create any sections you want.

Awesome! You saved me a ton of time. I was able to replace my tab system, (template coding) -- based off of a usergroup/function permission system -- and drop yours in with a slight tweak! I owe you!
Thanks again!

There is no selection for ADD HEADING for some of us even with the update you did.
tbworld
05-23-2012, 09:17 PM
Andreas, weirdness here (or it's me). When you select more then one includegroups it negates its inclusion. In the database it shows the proper included and excluded groups but the results being applied are incorrect. If you just apply a single usergroup it works as designed.
-- I am looking into the code now and will report back. Either I will fix it or I will find out that I am doing something incorrectly. Current tests were performed on a clean vb4.2 and no mods.
Hopefully, I am not wasting your time here :).

Confirmed, something is just not right with the permissions, if you choose more than 1 group for User is a member of ... the tab don't show for any groups selected. Same applies to the User is not a member of ... if you choose more than one group the tab shows for all groups.

Seems link there ar no menus available in this tab?
You must first create a menu before you can select it as a tab menu.
The current build does no longer show this option if no menus are available.

Congratulations you've found a bug :)
This should be fixed in the current build.
A new build of Beta 3 has been uploaded that should fix those two issues.

Will this mod allow the dropdown menu tabs to open on hover? If not, is there a way to do this?My current tab manager does this and it's pretty slick.
Glad I found this mod. I've been afraid to upgrade to 4.2 and not have the tabs function the way have them set up currently.

Working as designed ;)
My initial goal was to add links and menus to other tabs, not to add links to other menus - but that's doable as well and Beta 4 will support this.
Boofo
05-24-2012, 09:24 PM
It was just a scrap of code that I used on an old tab system. However, it let me know if the hook was usefull. (Bug: Currently you cannot re-edit the HTML box, you will have to delete it and then re-enter the html link.)
<table width="100%">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="left">
<span style="font-size: 18px;">Category</span>
<br><span style="font-weight:normal;" class="enlighten">Quick Links</span>

Currently, I do not and have removed the code an hour ago. But, I could reinstall it (obviously), if you really need one. It was just a snippet I installed or just part of the original code. All the code really did was fancy up the drop-down menu header: with text and icon. Created it for my daughters board.
Anyway, if you still want it. Let me know and I will see if I can grab the entire code and send it your way.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to turn a tab into a dropdown.
tbworld
05-25-2012, 12:27 AM
It's a three step process.
Create a tab.
Create a menu.
Go back and edit your (Tab), modify the select-box "Tab Menu" and point to your menu.
The "Tab Menu" select box is at the bottom of the page. This box is empty when you first create your tab.
Hope that helps :)

Very well done, Andreas. I just can't understand why those features are not part of the vB 4.2 Core, vB seems to be offering a car w/o tyres...
Nonetheless I get a Database-Error when I want to add a heading oder HTML. I can set it up, but when I click 'Save' I get the following MySQL Error: Unknown column 'exttype' in 'field list'.
Thanks for this mode and for any help in advance.

AusPhotography

To alter the text of a tab you need to change the relevant $vbphrase
In my example YOURTABNAME will need to be the name of the tab which is displayed in the Navigation manager.
"New Text" can be anything you need.

a small problem with the Append parent tab id if the link already has var in it (such as page.php?id=2) then the tab id breaks the page (ie: page.php?id=2?tabid=30) in this case it should append a & in place of a ? (ie: page.php?id=2&tabid=30)
awesome improvements to the nav manager!!

Could you add the ability to show the Nav Bits on a per forum basis.
For example I host 2 forums. 1 for company X and the other for company Y. Company X would like some links added for their members but these links have nothing to do with company Y thus theoretically should not be shown.
Thanx for the consideration

Yes. I use _blank to have it open another tab. Whatever you want to show for target="option_here" in the URL. I don't know what _new is.

Thanks. It doesn't seem to work in Firefox though - loads in the same tab/window regardless. May have something to do with my settings...
"_new" was a lack of coffee... "_blank" is a new page of course. Meant to type "_top".

Beta 4 has just been released
Changes since Beta 3:
All bugs reported for Beta 3 should be fixed
Links can now have menus as additional parents (previously links could only have tabs as additional parents)
The enhanced attributes are now being imported/exported with the product XM?
I've added a new feature to set URL component for each item (http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-15197)
res6cue
05-30-2012, 06:19 PM
The Beta 3 zip included cssrollup_navmanager_enhancements.xml, which Beta 4 does not have. Should we delete cssrollup_navmanager_enhancements.xml after installing Beta 4, and are we supposed to upload the navmanenhancements folder into the packages folder before installing Beta 4? Or should we just uninstall Beta 3 entirely before installing Beta 4?

If you have a TAB or link URL that is in this form : (beta 4)
{options.bburl}/home.php{session.sessionurl_q}
The URL renders as:
http://test.ausphotography.net.au/forum/http://test.ausphotography.net.au/forum/home.php
A bit strange!

I found the problem...
Hook expand_navigation_state plugin Make URLs absolute
It needs to ignore URLs starting with:
.
/
{
http(s)://
javascript://
Something ugly like this...
if (VB_AREA != 'AdminCP' AND vB::$vbulletin->options['bburl_basepath'] AND $data['url'] AND !preg_match('#^https{0,1}://#si', $data['url']) AND !substr($data['url'],0,13) == 'javascript://' AND !substr($data['url'],0,1) == '.' AND !substr($data['url'],0,1) == '/' AND !substr($data['url'],0,1) == '{')

I am so frustrated with these blasted navbar managers. I cannot seem to get the thing to do what I want.
Even something basic such as the following:
Created a tab called "Arcade", pointed it to Arcade.php, but when I click on it, it goes to the page, but does not highlight the tab.
Second, I created a menu under "forum", called "Admin Tools", added Admincp to it, none of it shows up. I ensured permissions.
Would appreciate any assistance.

Enter the appropriate "THIS_SCRIPT" value in the navigation manager for that specific tab. In the "Scripts" text field.
If there is no THIS_SCRIPT value on that page, you must add it to the page first using the following syntax as an example:
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'arcade');
Then add "arcade" to the THIS_SCRIPT section ( In the "Scripts" text field.) in Nav Manager. Hope that helps, or at least helps you to do further research.

That sounds like this Add-on is not compatible with vBulletin 4.2, eg. does not use the Navigation Manager.
Solution:
Wait for an update or disable the affected Plug-in and re-create the navigation in Navigation Manager.
Created a tab called "Arcade", pointed it to Arcade.php, but when I click on it, it goes to the page, but does not highlight the tab.
This is the expected behaviour.
The system does not know that it should highlight the tab when the link is accessed.
There are several ways to achieve what you want
Set Append Tab id = Yes
This changes to link to arcade.php?tabid=<X>.
When the link is clicked the tabid is recoginzed and the tab does get highlighted
Pro: Very easy
Con: You are affectivtely creating duplicated content and it will only work for the tab link itself, if there are links within the tab and the user clicks it the tab will not active
Set the script id for the tab
Pro: No duplicate content, the tab also becomes active if a user accesses arcade.php another way
Con: You have to find out the THIS_SCRIPT constant for arcade.php it will only work for the tab link itself, if there are links within the tab and the user clicks it the tab will not active
Add some Plug-ins to handle tab activation
Pro: This is the best solution and will also work for links within the tab if coded accordingly
Con: You will need programming knowledge

Great - all set there! Thank you.
Next question:
I'm wanting to have a separate tab, that's essentially a "placeholder" for links.
So, I'd have a tab called "Special Access", then I would have two links for "Jukebox", and "Library".
What I can't figure out is the url. It doesn't have a specific page, and if it requires one, I don't know what I would need to make to create one.

Andreas,
How do we add a heading and have it still show in a mod if they don't have your mod here installed?
This works with your mod installed:
'navtype' => 'heading',
But it doesn't work if your mod is disabled or not installed.

THIS_SCRIPT confuses me.
A lot of the info on here and vB's Nav Manager is going by the assumption that people know what they're reading.

I just use an add on by Hispano or something.

Hi Andreas
Thanks for the mod.
I foolishly upgraded from 3.8. to 4.2.0 when the upgrade read me file I read contained no warnings about compatibility issues.
So now I am stuck with 4.2.0, and the main problem I guess is the navbar.
The add-ons I have are vBadvanced links directory and Marysclassifieds. I have added them to the navbar using the navbar manager but of course the sub-navigation menus for each do not appear.
Before I install your mod and dig myself an even deeper hole, will your mod allow me to fix this / add the sub navigation menus for each?
Sorry, I am not a techy and I have asked vB to remove 4.2.0 and reinstall 3.8. for me (as I was given no warning) and it seems they can not.

You don't need this Add-on to do that, it does work out-of-the-Box if both Add-ons do support vB 4.2
If they do not wou will have to creat eht navigation yourself.

For vBA mods just create the Nav you want using the NM.

@kether ... just export the product files (Admin CP) relevant to the Nav you created.
You then re-import after your upgrade.
What I've done for my site is actually create a special addon product called 'apcustomisations' which contains all the extra navigation and minor plugins I use to tailor my site.
That way its all managed in one place.

navmanager_enhancements_1-0-0_Beta_4.zip (11.5 KB, 159 downloads)
I just want to install the latest version. So which do I use? I can see that I don't want navmanager_enhancements-1_0_0-Beta_3.zip, since there is now a Beta 4. So that leaves:
product-navmanager_enhancements.xml (17.8 KB, 209 downloads)
and
navmanager_enhancements_1-0-0_Beta_4.zip (11.5 KB, 159 downloads)
So I figured, maybe I download both and upload the stuff in the zip file to my forum and then use the xml file to install it. Only the zip file includes an xml file with the exact same name in it but the file is different.
Please help.

I created a main tab : Media
Created a menu media menu
created 2 links to each add-on page into that.
That works fine
but now when I am for example in the picture page I need several additional links showing in the sub-navbar (the smaller one below the TABS)
I just can't figure out how to create those additional links when I am or in the picture or the video page (both have different links of course).
Is it even possible?

how can i make the highlight stay on for more than a few scripts? it erases them after i type it in. I have five custom pages that are "channels"
I enter it like stream1.stream2.stream3.stream4.stream5 but it cuts off the last two scripts. the tab mod from before didnt do this.
EDIT. it works if you append the parent id to url and then do the same on all the links. it doenst seem to be as smooth as when it just uses the php scripts though. it works if you click from the menu bar but if you link directly to the php it does not. if you use the script it will light up regardless of how you get to it, thats why its better. now you have to add the tab id to every link to a php page if you want it to light up. that sucks.
Using the allow/not allow for usergroups doesnt actually protect the page does it? just who can view the menu item, correct? so if they know the url they can still see it. I add this on my custom php pages:
if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
print_no_permission();
}
if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6, 18)) {
// no permission if you aren't a member of usergroupid 6, 18
print_no_permission();
}
just change user id to whatever the group is.

@Wilford - yes Navigation Manager only hide/reveals menu items - it does nothing to control page access (nor should it).
Your code snippets are one approach to the permission problem.
If you make your custom page a plugin product, you can parameterise the member usergroups (or anything) that applies to the security you want to implement.

In each of my custom .PHP pages I place
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'xxx');
Where xxx is the reference I want to use.
Then in Navigation specify xxx in the Tab Script's box
Any sub links I then also use the same reference and it stays highlighted.

I use this in the templates rather than the PHP scripts, that also works.

1. This is how vBulletin menus function without modification. This plugin does not change that

I am. vB 4.2.0 PL1.
Honestly, I think the majority of issues people are having stem from either (1) confusion about how the new navigation manager works, or (2) overly customized styles that have not yet been updated to 4.2.0.

To see this in action, go to http://dmsinteractiveweb.com/forum.php and click on the shop link.

Ca work here with $show Array for unlogged user? How is the $show Array for unlogged user?

Several of my own concerns. If this is vbulletin default functionality, then the navigation system has gone a bit downhill.
In most navigation designs, when one hovers over the parent, the child menu opens up. That is a common standard and I am shocked reading that vBulletin apparently does not use that. At the minimum an option should be added to allow hovering to function to open menus.
The lower menu bar below the tabs should display the second level menu items there like the forum links do. I can care less about the forum submenu items if I am on my shop page.
Anyway to fix this?

Create an account at the website below and go to link http://www.itvault.com/threads/3644-How-to-add-Shop-Tab-in-vBulletin-4.2.0. Then follow the same process for what ever mod you want to build the menus for.
To build a submenu system regard it like this:
Tabs = top level menu
Menu = second and lower menu items that open when Tab is clicked on.
Link = where you want to go after clicking on it. I use relative URLs and it works.
If you want a specific menu system displayed after clicking a tab, then a plugin must be created and specified. Following Greystoke's fix for his mod at the link I provided should help you along.
BTW, Greystoke provides superb support on his oscCart and has done a great deal of work for me and I am thrilled with his results. Try to get him to help if you are willing to budget a few $$$ his way.

After installing, the datastore has a base64 code . The plugin check for Hack reports the alarm.
In the datastore then the code is:
+ $ name. = '_'. strtolower (substr (vb_base64_encode (TimeNow), 4,4));
Can you avoid it?

It's beta, its got bugs, and Andreas is away on holidays. :D
I know he will sort it once he gets back.
You do need a good understanding of the 4.2 Navigation Manager before using this mod, it is very powerful and you need the basic NM understanding first.
Once you have a handle on the NM this mod is very obvious in its use.
I would suggest putting this mod into your test system and playing before production.
vB4.2.1 is not far away and fixes a couple of NM issues anyway.

I've been having some issues with usergroup permissions. If I select more than one usergroup to show a link to, then the link doesn't appear. If I select only one, then the link appears fine. I read through the posts here and found others with this issue. It was stated that if one re-uploads all the files and re-installs the product allowing overwrite (yes) then it should correct the issue. I haven't been able to get more than one usergroup at a time using the tick boxes. My work around is to create the sub links two times (one for each user group I want to see the link), but this seems like a bug of some kind. Thanks for any suggestions.

This all works fine for me. I have multiple user groups checked on the menus at my website. You might check your permissions for the app area you are concerned with and see if there are any conflicts. Only issue I am having with this is trying to keep the right links in the lower navbar, but I think that's a problem in the vanilla navigation manager that vb folks hopefully will answer. Also check that the user (you) is not in one of the groups you checked that you do NOT want them to see. I think this being a beta may have some conflicts between what you set in the extended navigation manager as compared to the user group permissions set in the vb admin panel.

06-28-2012, 03:29 AM
There was a bug in beta3 that prevented the usergroup options to work right. Andreas fixed it in beta4...
There are a couple of small problems, but the largest bug is due to vbulletins code. There is no cleanup on deleted entries. In some cases it can even cause database errors upon deleting entries. This problem enumerates onto Andreas's code. Several of us have already posted the bug over on vbulletin.com. In my opinion they really have to fix their code before Andreas can do much on his end. I have to say I was a little surprised vb released the navigator without some sort of cleanup routines. Too much pressure on the programmers over at vb to turn out code.
AusPhotography
06-28-2012, 03:57 AM
The delete issue is fixed in vB4.2.1
There is an issue in Andreas' code when using menus/links with secondary parents.
The target, HTML, and heading don't work on the secondary tab.
I sent Andreas a PM describing why vB breaks that feature.
4.2.1 will also allow target (new page) and Tab menu pull downs if the Jira tracker is correct. (no promises as vB could pull those from 4.2.1 [unlikely])

I found the problem...
Something ugly like this...
if (VB_AREA != 'AdminCP' AND vB::$vbulletin->options['bburl_basepath'] AND $data['url'] AND !preg_match('#^https{0,1}://#si', $data['url']) AND !substr($data['url'],0,13) == 'javascript://' AND !substr($data['url'],0,1) == '.' AND !substr($data['url'],0,1) == '/' AND !substr($data['url'],0,1) == '{')
Thanks RickTas, for bringing this up. I forgot that I disabled that plugin and did a quick modification to make it work for myself. However, stupidly, I forgot to bring it up to the forum to help Andreas.... Glad you are on top of things :)

I love the script, but... I'm having a few issues. Firstly, it put my forum path in front of tabs that were added by other mods. ie: it changed http://www.megomuseum.com/mmgallery/index.php to http://www.megomuseum.com//community/mmgallery/index.php
I was able to just manually fix these. One thing I can't fix, however, it the Quick Links>Open Contact Popup drop down menu. It adds http://megomuseum.com in front of the javascript. When I edit Open Contacts Popup, however, the "http://megomuseum.com" isn't there, so I can't simply delete it. I have no clue how to fix this. When I click Open Contacts Popup from the forums, it tried to go here:
http://megomuseum.com/javascript://window.open(getBaseUrl()%20+%20%27misc.php?do=budd ylist&focus=1%27,%27buddylist%27,%27statusbar=no,menubar =no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width= 250,height=300%27);%20return%20false;
and of course just gives an error. I have no clue whatsoever how to fix this.

Can you do a Dropdown from the main Tab with this and if so, can those links be anything you want?
Basically I have 3 different calendars. I run a sports site so it's basically separate "schedules" for 3 different teams. I want the tab to sya "Schedules" and when you click on it, you get a dropdown menu with the 3 selections.
I had it set up like this before but during the upgrade to 4.2, the file merge must have overwritten it and i don't really recall what I did originally. was hoping that this MOD could do it

Create the Main tab
add menu
add links to the menu
but then you have to EDIT the Main tab. Go back into it and you will see another option more to the bottom which wasn't there until you created the Menu:
Tab Menu Select the Dropdown Menu for this tab here.
The selected Menu will not be displayed as a dropdown menu when the tab is being clicked.
In this drop down you can select now the name of the Menu you just created.
Probably you don't want to have a link for the Main tab.
Therefore I added "_top" without the quotes in the Target URL and Target boxes.
Now the dropdown will work

Go into your css templates and look for the css template "navbar_tabs_enhanced"
Then search for: url(images/misc/arrow.png) no-repeat right center
and delete it. Be careful only to delete what I mentioned.
If you are not sure make a backup from the whole file before editing it.
This way the arrow won't show up anymore

Hello Andreas, I read and reread before writing here, but I have not figured out how to show the dropdown menu:
1. From the navigation manager, I created various TABs (which are displayed without problems in navbar)
2. Edit one by one the tabs and drop-down menu I select ADD LINK, and then I create the items in the dropdown menu. (all active course)
3. I'm going back home to see the result and no dropdown menu
I state that I vbulletin 4.2 with p.l.2

It was a little confusing for myself also but you have to do the following:
Create your MAIN tab (the one that will be visible in the navbar)
Once done select add a MENU from the drop down in the settings of the MAIN tab
Create the Menu. Just give it a name and select the name of the MAIN tab in the "parent" option.
Add your links to the MENU you just created by selecting it in the PARENT options in the links setting page.
When all done go back into the MAIN tab by selecting EDIT and then in the options select the Menu you created where it says: Tab Menu - Select the Dropdown Menu for this tab here. -
The selected Menu will not be displayed as a dropdown menu when the tab is being clicked.

I assume you installed this MOD otherwise it won't show up.
Below are 2 screenshots as an example how it should look:
Screenshot 1 ->
As you can see my main tab is called MEDIA
Then the Menu I created is called MediaMenu
All the links as associated with the MediaMenu
Screenshot 2 ->
After you did step 1
When you EDIT the main Tab called MEDIA you will see more to the bottom of the page the option shown as in screenshot 2. Select in there the Menu name you created.

Having a little issue with the style selector. I wanted to set up a skin without any of the default tabs, by manually setting those tabs to be visible on all skins except for that one. Only problem is that it, while it allows me to select as many skins as I like, it doesn't actually save that setting properly. Every time I've tried, it seems to limit itself to just the first 7 I've picked from the list.

Yes, you will find this is the case with every mod. Being new to here it might not have been assumed. Also assumed is that .xml file that does not exist within the file structure is meant to be imported and NOT uploaded. This is done by going to vB Admin Control Panel - Plugins & Products - Manage Products - Add/Import Product (bottom of that page). From there choose the .xml file to import (leave allow overwrite at No, for initial imports).
...And when I went to Admin CP navigation manager, everything is still just like before after I created all the links and menus etc... editing the tab screen is just like before.
Everything should not be the same, there are some noticeable changes.

2) Once done select add a MENU from the drop down in the settings of the MAIN tab
3) Create the Menu. Just give it a name and select the name of the MAIN tab in the "parent" option.
4) Add your links to the MENU you just created by selecting it in the PARENT options in the links setting page.
5) When all done go back into the MAIN tab by selecting EDIT and then in the options select the Menu you created where it says: Tab Menu - Select the Dropdown Menu for this tab here. The selected Menu will now be displayed as a dropdown menu when the tab is being clicked.
That's all there is to it.

bzcomputers, thanks. funny I figured the plugins & products part from trhe admin CP on my own and installed it correctly!!!!! YEEEAAAHHHHHH
But .....
Only one submenu can be displayed from the main drop down menu (tab). When I get to your step number 5, even though I can see both sub "menus" listed in the drop down, I can only pick one and only that one shows up in the dropdown menu. Please help, otherwise, a drop-down menu with only one submenu defeats the whole dropdown menu purposes. I'm sure I'm not doing something, Since you are my savior here, please help.
And thank you for your help.

You should be only creating ONE submenu (per Main Tab). Then you need to add your links to that single submenu (you will see this as the second option under edit on the submenu). It sounds like you are currently creating multiple submenus and trying to attach them all as links.

Thank you very much, I think I lost myself in some way.
By any chance do you know how to set the mouseover instead of clickable?
Has anyone figured this out? Also is there a way to hide the arrow?

Great MOD, Thanks! :D
It works great. I've only found one thing that is odd. On my site, I dont display any navigation tabs if the user is not logged in. When this is the case and the user hasnt logged in, the navigation shows a blank highlighted tab. I've tried this with the default style and I show the same issue.
If I disable the plug-in called 'Add Navigation Manager Links to CMS Navigation', the blank tab goes away. I'm not sure what the negative impact might be of disabling this section though. At first glance, I dont see any issues. Does anyone else have this problem?

I have all sorts of issues.
1st... I was adding a couple of sub menus to my Forum tab. I went back to correct a mistake with one of the menu's and I get "Invalid Navigation ID". I can't delete the menu. I can't delete any of the links within that menu and it was supposed to be for a specific style template and now I have it on all of the templates. i can't get rid of the "Forum" tab because I need that ID. I found this out the hard way. I create a new "forum" tab and moved everything over there and it worked on my main forum but not on additional style template that accompany different forums.
So, with that said Under my "new" Forum tab I created, the "Forum link" button that I moved.. I can't move it back. It tells me that it was successful and then nothing happens

Hi!
Apparently the mod is dead as Andreas hasn't replied for 6 months... But there are plenty of people above who have gotten it to work... so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE someone help me... :D
Either I'm completely misunderstanding what this mod does, or I'm doing something very wrong. :o
I have installed Beta 4 through the Import function. vB 4.2.0 PL3. I've created two sections, Home and About. I've created two tabs, both Navigation Manager Enhancements, Target URL content.php{session.sessionurl_q}, Append 'tabid' Yes, Component Base URL vbcms. I've set the section for one to Home, and About for the other. I've added one article to the Home section, and a different one to the About section.
Now, this is the problem; when I click on the Home tab, it shows both articles - and when I click on the About tab it also shows both articles... :confused: However, if I click on the Home section in the Section Widget, it only shows the Home article, and when I click on the About section in the Section widget, it only shows the About article... :eek: What am I doing wrong or misunderstanding?

NB: This mod will not work properly in 4.2.1 due to changes to Navman in 4.2.1 (see the Jira entries on navigation for public reason why, I'm on the Beta program and can't say more than that)
Someone will need to fix it or we need to plan not to use it.

I tried to be as clear as possible. Sorry.
I'll try again. I want two tabs with unique CMS content. One called Home and one called About. When I click on Home I want it to show only the articles posted in the Home section, and when I click About, only the articles posted in the About section.
A link won't help you much as I'm mucking about trying to get some version of it working. It's a test site. Currently turned off to the public.

Hi!
Upload everything to the root folder. That's what I did at least. But perhaps that's why my installation doesn't seem to be working? Uploading everything means that the resource files are under ./upload - perhaps they should be moved up to ./includes etc?

You only need the files included within the 4.zip.
Upload everything within the upload directory to your "forum" directory. If your forum directory is your "root" then upload it to your root. The "upload" directory is just a holding directory within the zip file and should not exist on your vbulletin installation. You should be uploading the individual directories within it and not the "upload" directory itself.
Example:
1) If your forum resides in the root you should be uploading like this:
www.YourWebSite.com/includes
www.YourWebSite/com/packages
2) If your forum resides outside the root you should be uploading like this:
www.YourWebSite.com/forum/includes
www.YourWebSite.com/forum/packages
(in either case the includes, packages subdirectories should already exist - locate them and upload into them)
The .xml which does not exist within the upload directory needs to be imported. Go to your admincp in vbulletin - Plugins & Products - Manage Products - Add/Import Product (bottom of page) - select the .xml from your computer and select import.

They shouldn't be too much trouble getting that done. Make sure you install this mod as posted in the post above and see if you are still having an issue.

The standard is if the .xml resides within an upload directory/subdirectory it will be uploaded. Any .xml residing outside of an "upload" directory will be imported. Typically there will only be one .xml imported per mod, but there may be multiple .xml files uploaded within a mod.
You will just upload this .xml within the file structure.

Hi!

I should have understood the 'upload' folder thing, from the vB installation. But I still think it's a stupid idea to have an "upload" folder and then not provide a readme to explain where everything goes since you have to move the files manually. It should all be in the same tree as the destination.
Anyway, I moved the includes and packages to the right place, uninstalled and reinstalled just to be safe. I'm still getting the exact same thing. As I started out by saying, either I'm misunderstanding what the mod is supposed to do, or my settings are wrong. I explained the settings above, but that was apparently "confusing". But I see no other possibility than to repeat my settings, because there must be a mistake there.
In CMS I create sections Section1 and Section2. In NM I create two tabs with these settings:
- Active: Yes
- Product: Navigation Manager Enhancements
- Title: Section1 for the one, and Section2 for the other
- Target URL: content.php{session.sessionurl_q}
- Append 'tabid' to URL: Yes
- Sections: Section1 for the first, Section2 selected for the second
- Component Base URL: vbcms
Everything else is left blank/as defaulted. No Title Attribute, no Target.
I'm especially wondering about the Target URL; should that really be the same for both??
Now, when I click on the Section1 tab, the heading says 'The Front Page', and the navigation line above it says 'Home > The Front Page'. If I click on Section2, it says exactly the same; 'Home > The Front Page'. But if I click on Section1 in the Section Widget, it says 'Home > Section1', and if I click on Section2, it says 'Home > Section2'. Isn't the mod supposed to go to those same sections? I don't see the point of the mod if it always only goes to 'The Front Page'

HI,
After installing, the datastore has a base64 code . The plugin check for Hack reports the alarm.
In the datastore then the code is:
+ $ name. = '_'. strtolower (substr (vb_base64_encode (TimeNow), 4,4));
Can you avoid it?
Any News about this ?
Or a Fix?

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
The drop down doesn't appear at all in the Chat menu button/tab.
Plus, the menu text has been forced vertically top/left aligned by this plugin.
Normally the text is bottom left aligned.

Unfortunately the original coder hasn't updated this since it was released last May. I wouldn't expect him to at this point since the way it currently works will not work in vBulletin 5.
Since you have a custom template you will probably need to find a coder to get it working for you and that'll take some $$$.

Several of my own concerns. If this is vbulletin default functionality, then the navigation system has gone a bit downhill.
In most navigation designs, when one hovers over the parent, the child menu opens up. That is a common standard and I am shocked reading that vBulletin apparently does not use that. At the minimum an option should be added to allow hovering to function to open menus.
The lower menu bar below the tabs should display the second level menu items there like the forum links do. I can care less about the forum submenu items if I am on my shop page.
Anyway to fix this?
Agreed. You should be able to have an item on the Navbar that's able to be selected & has a drop down menu.
Example, here's the Secretary of State website: http://www.state.gov/secretary/
You can click About State, & items below such as Mission Statement, etc..

You can code a custom navbar and edit the .css to fit your site. I may still have the coding around some where.

http://www.yoursite.com - goes to the default tab
http://yoursite.com - goes to the forum (this isn't working properly)
If you disable the template "Make URLs absolute" it works fine, but is that template important for another area?

Am I able to add My Profile as an option in the Navigation Manager using this? All i've been able to do is get it to edit profile, not view profile. Also wondering the same about moving the notifications in to the navigation bar.
