Custom Navbar Links

[sandalwood]

you probably just made an honest mistake, which messing with custom admin permissions and left that in there. canadminmyhack was the EXAMPLE string used in the post about that, so i can see now thinking about it you were just experimenting and accidentally left it in. i'm sorry i jumped all over you but i hate it when i see a mod include stuff that messed with core things like admin permissions and such.

hope i didn't ruin your day. thanks for taking the time to make this mod and for putting up with confrontational loud people like myself! :)

[sandalwood]

i understand now what happened. you are admin your board as SUPERADMIN, that overrides all access masks.

i am a normal admin.

this is why you custom access mask stopped me, but not you, and why you missed it in your testing.

please remove your custom access mask, or change it to actually work thank you.

Here's my problem:

The link doens't look right AND id="navbar_search" isn't found in any of the "Right click" Source code
I did however find:
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="navbar_search_menu" style="display:none">

Just incase, I decided to try "vbmenu_popup" ironicly enough, it didn't work.
Suggestions?

I just thought of something else I should inform you of, in any template aside from default I could not find:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

nor anything to do with Calander.php
so I just stuck it in there somewhere

[harmor19]

Thanks sandalwood.
I had no idea that permissions="canadminmyhack" cause conflict that's why I didn't remove it.

I'll edit the XML and re-upload

[sandalwood]

minor bug

if you go to "show new posts"
https://forum.example.com/search.php?do=getnew
and there are no new posts so you see the error message, then if you click the Extras menu, your items are not listed the menu is empty.

also if you do a search, and there are no results
Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

all other places i could test, the menu works fine. its just those two error type pages, the menu becomes empty there.

[harmor19]

Someone else reported it and I thought it's to small to worry about.

[bashy]

Hi

I have 17 drop links and i take it this means i have added 17 queries to my forum
custom_droplinks (17) or am i totally wrong?

Please advise?

[harmor19]

That is correct.

[bashy]

Doh....

39 queries, 17 from this hack, damn, must remove some links lol

I'm having a strange problem.

I've had this mod installed for awhile now, and I love it, completely cleans up the navbar. Just today I decided to get a new style (two of them so far). I was worried my template changes wouldn't take effect.

The first new template, I put the custom links code into the right area in the template, and it works great. But, the second style, I put in the code, the link shows up, but when I click my features, nothing shows up. I'm confused as to why one new style works, all my old default styles work, but the second new style will not work.

Any ideas?

[BeaLzeBuB]

thx you.

installed

can we add catagories ?

[harmor19]

Loco.M,
I forgot, I try to remember next time

Renae,
I went to your site and it works on all your styles. I take it that your fixed it.

BeaLzeBuB,
You can't add categories on this release.

[5wayshosting]

hi there,

can someone point to the direction where to change two files for this mod.

Cheers:banana:

[harmor19]

What two files?

[5wayshosting]

Theres something to edit below the navbar ??

[hilfe-forum]

Hi
first thanks for this great Hack ans sorry for my bad english...

What must i do that unregistered Users can Use de Extra Nav bar??

http://www.hilfe-forum.eu/

[harmor19]

5wayshosting,
To find the navbar template log into your Admin CP
On the left frame open the 'Styles & Templates' category and click on 'Style Manager'.
In the drop down menu select "Edit Templates".
Find "Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates" and double click it.
Now double click on "navbar".

hilfe,
Unregistered users can use it. Do you mean that you don't want them to use it?

[5wayshosting]

Cheers, thanks for that..

ok sorry...
I try it with Firefox..(dont work)
with IE is everything ok!!

Thanks for this Hack!!

[louth]

In your CMPS settings under Portal Output Global Variables place:
custom_droplinks
custom_singlelinks

Excuse my ignorance, but where exactly is this located?

I've been able to change the name of 'Extras' and added my links, but they won't show up on my CMPS. Obviously because I haven't done what it says in the instructions, but I can't find where to type them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Louth.

Aha! Thank you. I never really dared click that 'Default Settings' before, I thought it would revert everything that I'd done. :confused:

[Littlebit]

you're welcome :)

Hmmm, the dropdown inserts don't seem to be working right when viewing from any of the error templates. Does anyone else have this happening? :cross-eyed:

[kylek]

Unregistered users can use it. Do you mean that you don't want them to use it?

Is there a way to have it set so unregistered users do not see it? or able to have only specific usergroup ids see it?

Thanks.

Hi everybody,

the Hack ist great and I would love to clean up my whole navbar with it. But ... I´m missing the funktion to put in more then one dropdown-Element.

There are two parts I want to put in dropdowns:

Fun-Stuff
Things like Arcade and Chat

UserCP
I don´t like the left Navigation-Block in the User-CP, so I like to completely put the UserCP into a Navbar-Dropdown.

Well ... the greatest thing would be to completely configure the navbar with this tool ... but it also would be a great progress if I only could manage two Drop-Down-Links with this extension.

Any Ideas, how to?

Best wishes, Ju lian!

[harmor19]

I've been planning on adding on to it for a while now but it's too hot and humid to do anything.

I hope this extension works for the new 3.6 version.

[lamilein]

it works great on 3.5.4 - thank you very much for this one, made my navbar organisation look much better :) do you accept ice as payment? :]

[Lqd]

just installed your custom navbar hack. Could you tell me how to remove: menu_open.gif image?

I am putting it in a custom skin, those are all connected images, that image breaks up the layout.

I tried chaning the class, but it seems I can't find the proper one, and leaving the class specification out doesn't help much either.

In your forums admin cp, go to the following destination:
Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> Expand All Templates

Find the template 'navbar'

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++
FIND:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++
UNDERNEATH ADD:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

function OpenRadio(){
Radio = window.open('vBRadio.php','vBRadio','directories=n o,height=320,width=650,location=no,menubar=no,resi zable=no,status=no,toolbar=no')

return false;
}

-->
</script>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#" onclick="return OpenRadio()">vBRadio</a></td>

::: Save Template 'navbar'

/-------------------------------------------=----------------\
|/\ vBRadio v1.0 Is Now Installed On Your Forum - Enjoy! /\|
\------------------------------------------------------------/

Any chance that link can go into the custom links menu?



I am looking forward to your reply! Be gentle it's my 2nd day on vB:p

Thank you! It's a greak hack!

[harmor19]

I have figured out how to do usergroup permissions per link.
You can create a link and specify which usergroups can see it.

I'm in the process of coding and testing.

[harmor19]

For members that are upgrading...
I am sorry but I do not know how to make an upgrade script so you'll need to delete the product from your admin control panel and reupload it.

Overwrite admincp/admin_custom_links.php

[harmor19]

I updated the screenshots

[louis_chypher]

if upgrading after copying the files to your forum then in admin cp | maintenance | Execute sql query you should run two queries to update the two custom links tables

The following is an example of the queries

number one:
ALTER TABLE *custom_singlelinks ADD link_perms varchar(100) NOT NULL default ''

number two:
ALTER TABLE *custom_droplinks ADD link_perms varchar(100) NOT NULL default ''


Notice the * in the query. If you have a table prefix replace the * with the name of your table prefix. If you do not have a table prefix then do not include the * in the alter table sql querys

i've uninstalled this mod as i'm now using Menu Control version 1.3 but its left an arrow in my nav bar, how do i remove this?

[Puntoboy]

its ok, i've sorted it,

thanks for the mod, it worked very well :D

[interceptor]

In my case is work under 3.6.0 now I install 3.6.1 and i dont get any links in navabar ..

[Konstantinos]

it doesnt work in 3.6.4

[kanadian]

works great on 3.6.2


how do i change the link from saying 'extras' to 'links' imo, it should say that by default :)

[PimvanJ]

Where to put the $custom_droplinks and $custom_singlelinks variables, to get this work in ibproarcade?
I'm using VB 3.54 and I already try this in the Arcade template but that didn't resolve the problem.
Any help highly appreciated.

[harmor19]

I have no idea.

[PimvanJ]

Report... Testing to upgrade my board, working so far on 3.6.4.

[b6gm6n]

Hi.. someone should have told me it would wipe out all my previous links if i upgraded to the latest version... also the links do not show on the IPBarcade main page as it did before... the links are working, but as i say wiped out and now the arcade... :(

-b6

[RollaJedi]

I too would like to know how to change the 'Extras' label on the drop-down to something else of my choosing. Can someone let me know where, how? Thanks!

[harmor19]

Look for the phrase "Extras" in the ACP.

[webspider]

Will this be updated to 3.6.x? Its a nice hack and I'd like to keep using it.

[harmor19]

There's already a version for 3.6.x.

[sjim]

harmor since i upgraded vbulletin to the Latest version available: 3.6.7 PL1
The custom links in the admin cp shows The webpage cannot be found.
the extra links still show in the navbar.
Do i need to re install this or overwrite it?

[sjim]

Found it .
I had to reupload the
admincp/admin_custom_links.php --> admincp/admin_custom_links.php

Thanks for the mod. :up:

[socalsoccer]

can this be added to another location other than navbar? I would like to add it to a category bar instead, or in some dead space between some categories.

Thanks

[kizzmet]

Is there an upgrade for 3.7.2? I am running that version and the links are not showing up.

[blind-eddie]

I run 3.7.2, I use harmor19's Advanced Navbar Links 3.6.4 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=120517) works great for me.

[kizzmet]

I run 3.7.2, I use harmor19's Advanced Navbar Links 3.6.4 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=120517) works great for me.
