Great stuff, works wonderfully.

However I got stumped when I tried something.

I have integrated my site and forum, I also have a content management system. Now, if I want to create a header or a single drop down anywhere on any pages of my site, including my content management system I can :)

However, take the actual problem for instance.

I have a list of content pages in the CMS, the PHP queries the DB, loops through the list parsing a table row template via vbulletin's template engine.

In this row I want a drop down menu with a set of options for that page (i.e. edit, delete, move etc.).

When I try and do this is all goes wrong.

I have tried it using your method, appending the contentid to the end handles, so there is a unique drop down for each content instance, but it doesn't work :(

Its very similar to how the postbit works, I even tried using the template logic for that (which is slightly different) again to no avail :(

Any ideas how to do this one?

Hey this is FANTASTIC - thank you.

I'm code stupid but managed this :) - I guess it's possible to add more categories too? I presume just by adding a TR td class cat name and tr td class vbmenu ?

cheers mate. :)

[imported_martinh4]

Just what i needed, my navbar was getting a bit crowded. :)

[Logikos]

Glad i could help! :)

[imported_Ashkarita]

Thanks! I haven't installed it yet but I'm working on some rules pages and links that this will be PERFECT for. Thanks!

*clicks install*

Let me ask you a question though.

In that same template, would there be a way for me to take the current FAQ area of the navbar and make it one of the choices for the drop down links?

[ryancooper]

Just what i was looking for. . .. tHansk

[dwood]

THANK YOU ! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! :)

[Slotheh]

Oooh, lovely, ta. Any idea how I can make a link only appear to a particular set of users, for example a group called "Administrators" as opposed to all registered members? I have been struggling with that for a while sadly and have all but given up LOL.

Reason: I want to add a download area link but only viewable for my Admins.

Thanks :)

[imported_Snowy]

How would one add this with phrases ?

[Rein Masamuri]

exactly what I was looking for!
thanks ^_^

[spence2]

Thank you!

[[email protected] vbmenu_register("postmenu_718589", true);]

Works just like stated. Thanks for your work. Mark

[imported_XrayHead]

So you could have

[DarkWarriorXII]

Arg am I the only one who can't get this to work?? Mine doesn't work. Here's my code. Can anyone please help me?


<td id="staff" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#staff">Staff</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("staff"); </script></td>


Which is located directly under "<if condition="$show['popups']">".


Then the menu:


<!-- staff navigation menu -->

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="newlink_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr><td class="thead">Navigation</td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$modcpdir/index.php?$session[sessionurl]">Moderator CP</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$admincpdir/index.php?$session[sessionurl]">Admin CP</a></td></tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- / staff navigation menu -->


Which is located directly above "<!-- / NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->".

So what's wrong here? Thank you for any help :).

[peterska2]

<!-- staff navigation menu -->

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="staff" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr><td class="thead">Navigation</td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$modcpdir/index.php?$session[sessionurl]">Moderator CP</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$admincpdir/index.php?$session[sessionurl]">Admin CP</a></td></tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- / staff navigation menu -->

Use that instead.

The problem you have there is that in the first section of code you posted you have told it to find a menu called 'staff' then in the second section you had called the menu 'newlink_menu' and so confuzed the poor thing. :(

[DarkWarriorXII]

Okay this still isn't working. Go to my forums (http://www.sawyergames.com/forums) and click the "Staff" link on the navbar and you'll see what's happening.

[peterska2]

Move the first bit to above <if condition=$show[popups]> and try that.

[DarkWarriorXII]

I tried it with that code both before and after <if condition=$show[popups]> and it still won't work.

[eL'Bandito]

Nice 1, just what i'm looking for but... strugglin to download!

is there a post count involved??

///ignore^^ fixed now :D

Thank you

[secret1980]

nice work though will have to check it :D will do it later :D

[lmongello]

OK...I got this to work, sort of...

The menu works fine in my forums, but for some reason, it totally screws up the layout of the categories in my Photopost home page.

Here is the code I used:

<td id="newlink" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#link">Photos</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("newlink"); </script></td>

::::::::::::::::::::

<!-- / new link menu -->

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="newlink_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">

<tr><td class="thead">Members' Photos</td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.mysite.com/photos/">Photo Gallery</a></td></tr>

<tr><td class="thead">Photo Forums</td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://mysite.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=80">Photo Contests</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://mysite.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=19">Photo Forum</a></td></tr>

</table>
</div>
<!-- / new link menu -->

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;

Any clues as to what I did wrong?

Thanks!!!!

[Hawkwind]

Thanks for the great hack. I got the menu added and working great, but only one problem.

Now my Search and Quick Links don't drop down :confused:

[RichieBoy67]
