what do you mean by "formatting"?

Adding user permissions to the buttons would make it even more powerful.

That would be great.
I'll see what I can do.

by formatting i meant changing the look and feel of the link generated as the link presently generated is good for default skin only.

On custom skins the button does not look right, see screenshot

Also when editing a link the button says "Edit" Shouldnt that button say "Save"? One last thing maybe useful, when editing a link their is no option to change it from a stand alone to a dropdown link.

How do you know if you have front end error messages?

Go into the phrase manager
In the Drop Down Menu Look For "Front-End Error Messages" if you see it then you have it.

Worked like a charm Sir :) appreciated mate!

I'm glad to hear it.

I want to add more to this so I'll take the suggestion and have the admin choose a 16x16 image to place by the image.

I am not seeing any menu to change the order of the links and I don't understand what difference its supposed to make for setting the link as a standalone or drop down only. I tried setting them both ways and didn't notice anything different. Also, how would I go about changing the title of the drop down box from "extras" to "links"

Thanks for this extension, very cool idea!

@NxTek
It's not there because I removed it and re-uploaded te file.
Just upload the xml as is.

@twitch
If you have recently downloaded my hack search for "Extras" in the phrase manager.

If it's not there open the "navbar" template and look for "Extras" (it's in there twice).

doesn't matter what I set it, its always in the drop down box. And I can't find the place to sort the order the links are in.

Does your the "Custom Links" page in the ACP look like this?
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...chmentid=36414

If not then redownload the zip and just overwrite the product and replace the file that goes in the admincp directory.

Hey harmor19, could i be a pain and give you a reminder about those features missing from this great mod....icons, seperators etc ;)

Patience Padwan ;) it's only just been released. I'd say the lack of caching the templates was more important than icons, personally. I'm itching to get rid of the bright red message microstats is giving me :nervous:

Sorry, I am currently working on ecards for my site.
The ecards use php. Iuse a form where you type some stuff and it appears on the image.

I am also working on my testimonial mod and some ajax thingy.

@TygerTyger
I fix it sometime today.

For this hack? well adding icons, user perms & seperators may ensure you of that! - seems like you quite busy though.

-b6

I don't know to go about making user permissions and the icon will be easy but that's second on my list after I get my new hack working properly.

It cannot use more than 20 caracters when adding a name. ?? try putting the alphabet in. :ermm:

Man this would be so awesome if you could use it to build multiple dropdown windows. :)

I modded the Navbar link to say Member Sites instead of Extras just to specify it more to my needs.

Thanks for the add-on.

I want to do that and I want to give the user the ability to add categories per drop down.

I cant wait for these new options, any update on progress? :)

OK this is darn near exactly what I'm trying to do - BUT! :)

I want to make my navbar "Calendar" link a custom drop down / pop up menu, populated exactly how the Calendar Jump menu is populated.

Calendar Jump code from the calendarjump template:

Code:

<form action="calendar.php" method="get">

<div class="smallfont" style="text-align:$stylevar[left]; white-space:nowrap">

        <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

        <input type="hidden" name="month" value="$month" />

        <input type="hidden" name="year" value="$year" />

        <input type="hidden" name="do" value="$docalendar" />

        <strong>$vbphrase[calendar_jump]</strong><br />

        <select name="c" onchange="this.form.submit();">

                <optgroup label="$vbphrase[please_select_one]">

                $jumpcalendarbits

                </optgroup>

        </select>$gobutton

</div>

</form>

and here is the code from the calendarjumpbit template:

Code:

<form action="calendar.php" method="get">

<div class="smallfont" style="text-align:$stylevar[left]; white-space:nowrap">

        <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

        <input type="hidden" name="month" value="$month" />

        <input type="hidden" name="year" value="$year" />

        <input type="hidden" name="do" value="$docalendar" />

        <strong>$vbphrase[calendar_jump]</strong><br />

        <select name="c" onchange="this.form.submit();">

                <optgroup label="$vbphrase[please_select_one]">

                $jumpcalendarbits

                </optgroup>

        </select>$gobutton

</div>

</form>

Thanks!

And don't forget the template needs caching still :P

Any way to add sorting capability? I wish to sort everything alphabetically but unfortunately no option for that :)

Too bad, installation always causes SQL-Errors

Quote:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE vb3_language SET title = title, phrasegroup_global = 'a:529:{s:9:\"1_day_ago\"........

Product works, but no text in descriptions and buttons in ACP and after this installation, no other installation of a product works any more.

It's a german vBulletin 3.5.1, but also the translated version doesn't work.

I'm so sorry I have to uninstall because it was just the thing i have looked for :disappointed:

Greetz

Jo

any way to add this to forumhome instead? I'm trying to implement in a vertical navbar on my right side column in forumhome
