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?

Hi like a lot of mods on here this has no instructions for newbies, how do you get this to work, its beaten me.

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.

Thank you for your kind information Kym much appreciated :)

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.

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.

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])

Is there a dif between the XML in the zip package and the standalone XML in the OP?

Thanks Ricktas for the update. I had found the same minor problems, yep -- beta is beta, but I sure like where he is going with this. I sure appreciated Andreas's code, helped me understand vb's code (another 4 hours saved :). This menu addon will help a ton of people out there, including my daughter who runs her own board, who doesn't have the sophistication it requires to patch in a menu. Thanks again Andreas!
