Is it possible to have two of these that work independently? One for the top and one for the bottom. Then I could do away with having to edit the navbar template everytime I add a new link

Well it's been on my mind, I was thinking about adding it into the next version, but I didn't know what everyone's thought are on it. So you want to be able to have complete control over both navbar's?

Yes. I took and put this one on a test site and have it at the top of the navbit. The original navbar is on the bottom, Similiar to the Double navigation bar. If I could add another to the bottom to replace the original, there would be no need to edit the navbar template any more. I know that there would be a permissons issue for some of the links but if you ever implement that into it, we could do away with the default nav bar in vb, which is a pain in the butt to have to edit when you have custom styles.


This is a great plugin by the way :smoke:

Cool mod :D I had something like this for version 2.2.1 of b, but never released it because it was uber buggy :D ool to see the idea in action for 3.x

I'll look into it for the next version ;)

Thanks for the comments guys ^_^

[high]* sidekick updated to 1.1

cool mod :)

Would be cool to have a permissions option of which usergroups that could view the navbar.

A excellent feature would be to have an option to add a little icon next to each link.
If you can add dropdown menu's in some way then this will replace my second Navbar I already have installed.


Great stuff!

I am having a strange thing happen..... the menubar is not showing up some places.... it is on the main forum menu.....
http://www.forums.repashy.com/index.php?

but not at the top of the subforum as here:

http://www.forums.repashy.com/forumdisplay.php?f=15

but it does show up on some.... like here: http://www.forums.repashy.com/forumdisplay.php?f=65

any idea?

PS..... this is an AWESOME tool

updated and waiting for 1.2

cool hack.

i would also like to see the option to place it at the top of bottom of the navbar. is this planned?

Hello mkdevo,

This option will hopefully be in the next release. If not I will definatly include where to place the code to put the navbar in different places. But once I get time, i'll get round to making that option admin controllable :)

Thanks,

Marky

To place at the top.

in the navbar template.

Find:
Above That add:

You don't have to include the

<!-- top nav buttons bar -->
and
<!-- / top nav buttons bar -->

I do this just so I know what it is..

Yes I will be including this along with other options in the next release :)

Version 1.2 Released - Features Below
*** Format Techniques - The ability to change the colour of your menu links.
*** External Links - The ability to link to external links from the links in your menu.

In this version, I have included complete documentation on installing, all previous and current versions. I have also included 'Navbar Positioning', which allows you to place your second navbar in a different position :)

Please read the included read-me file for information on the latest version and future versions etc.

Thanks,

Marky

Hello Marky,

I upgraded and really love the progress....

Now on forums that have lots of pages.... the bar moves from below the original navbar to above, but when this happens, the dropdown menu on search and quick links doesn't work and causes errors on the page....

check here:

http://www.forums.repashy.com/forumdisplay.php?f=15

Thanks, this in one of the most useful plugins to date!

I just upgraded to 1.2 this is brilliant I wonder why it took so long for a hack like this this hack to be written. If you have to add anything else it would be the ability to add drop downs to the links . I installed this hack because I was trying to add more links . It lets you and links to your existing navbar . Thanks for the great work

lol that is unusual :P
I'll look around and experiment and post here if I find a cure ;)

Pop-down menus will definatly be in the next version ;)

I think this is a skin issue. Why do I say this? If you go to http://www.forums.repashy.com/showthread.php?t=1177 you will notice that the drop down when you click on a users name does not work either.

Now visit http://www.forums.repashy.com/showthread.php?t=1771 and it works..

Try removing the plugin and try that search drop down without it and also clicking on user names with threads more than 1 page..

I had a skin that done this very same thing. I had to get the developer to fix.. :surprised:

Hmm interesting :D
I'd be interested in finding out, so make sure you post if it's a problem with the skin or if there's still a problem :)

put this on my test forum...VERY nice!


Thanks!

Ben

As nice as this is and glad to see updates, I think I'll stick with the 1.1 version (Pre Color Changes).
On a forum with white and black themes it's hard to find a happy medium on the color.
The default of past versions really seem to match the site and theme much better especially if you have several themes installed.
Just my 2 cents but still a Great addition.

Installed and working perfectly. Great hack. Thank you very much!

VERY Cool! I really like this mod! Very easy and works like a charm (note - default skin).

1 problem when i click on the link it takes me to microsoft.com after the upgrade :rolleyes:



EDIT:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
disregard post dummy me have to remove the http:// which in the txt file did not instructed info was found in admincp...great upgraded it

well, here is progress report so far.... I left the plugin installed and reverted the navbar to default and the bar still shows up on the main pages, but dissapears completely on pages where the forum shows multiple pages..... really weird... I am going to try installing it above the navbar and see what happens. the search and quicklink dropdowns to function on the pages where the bar doesn't show up though..... stay tuned.... Allen

Update.....

I completely removed it and my forum functions properly with the dropdown menu's....

I reinstalled the program and followed the navbar instructions to put it at the top, and it still showed up at the bottom on the main pages and top on others..... strange....

Marky.... if you want access to my admin control menu to see if you can figure it out, send me a pm..... Allen

updated and waiting for 11.0 :D

Suggestions:
*able to add or delete more items*
*able to add pics. buttons with a hover text*
*usergroup (from my choice) can see the menu*
*able to add more than one menu*

Hehe yes, I only included this in the admincp, I saw no point in putting anything about the hack in the text files. Hopefully, in the next version I'll include admin help files ;)

Recieved your PM, and have replied :) I'd be happy to help ;)

Thanks for the suggestions, these help alot so I can include as many features into the hack as possible ;)
The suggestion 'Able to add more than one menu' will appear in a future version, once I have added many more features to the current navbar. I will be introducing the ability to admin control the original navbar also (I would like to know your input of this please, if you want this feature, tell me so I can include this ;))

Thanks for your kind comments all, and enjoy the hack ;)

- Marky

yeah,include this but make it optionally

I've added the features I'm going to include in the next version on the mod display. I will update this list when needed!

I've decided Version 1.3 will include:

* Easier Installation - That's right, as if this mod isn't already easy, it's about to get easier! Version 1.3 will include automatic template installation, you just add one line of text in the appropriate area ;)
* Images Next to links - Gives the ability to place images next to each individual link. With the option to not have images turned on!

After this version, I will go to production on version 2.0. It should include the following features:

* Original Navbar Administration - Gives you the ability to change the links on the original navbar (Admin-Controlled!)
* 'Pop-down' Links - Gives the ability to create one - two vB javascript menus.
* Menu Move-about - Ability to choose where the menu is (Admin-Controlled).

Thanks,

Marky

It just keeps getting better :smoke:

great marky but don't forget

Very nice!! THANK YOU!

Looking forward to see the new version!

I'll definatly look into it, but I'm not promising anything :P

you can use the code in this hack
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=98934
with some edit

hehe - that's called stealing ;)
I'll definatly, like I said, look into the possibility. Of course I will clean up the admincp of it, but it will probably be in the version above 2.0 :)

Also, i'm a little short on funds, and since im doing this mod for free, I thought maybe you'd like to donate :) This isn't compulsory, of course, but if you have some spare cash and like the mod, just use the link on the main screen! I will be thankful how ever small or large the amount :D

great hack, this is what I need, many thanks. Clicked Install

AWESOME!!! Just EXACTLY what I needed!!!

*Clicks install*

Thank you! :banana:
