Kym, the way you created the product - that is what I was wanting to do. I just thought maybe there was a way to do it with the Nav Man Enhancement Product. Thanks.

regards,
Kether

Obviously I'm missing something here. I've uploaded the items in the "upload" dir and imported the .xml but I see nothing new in the ACP. Of course I've checked the setting options and Navigation Manager and nothing new in either of those areas.

I see for download:

product-navmanager_enhancements.xml (17.8 KB, 209 downloads)
navmanager_enhancements-1_0_0-Beta_3.zip (8.1 KB, 111 downloads)
navmanager_enhancements_1-0-0_Beta_4.zip (11.5 KB, 159 downloads)

I just want to install the latest version. So which do I use? I can see that I don't want navmanager_enhancements-1_0_0-Beta_3.zip, since there is now a Beta 4. So that leaves:

product-navmanager_enhancements.xml (17.8 KB, 209 downloads)

and

navmanager_enhancements_1-0-0_Beta_4.zip (11.5 KB, 159 downloads)

So I figured, maybe I download both and upload the stuff in the zip file to my forum and then use the xml file to install it. Only the zip file includes an xml file with the exact same name in it but the file is different.

Please help.

An issue with HTML content (and something similar with headings in a menu list of links)

1. I created a HTML item on a menu (Home)
2. I made the menu item available on all tabs (multiple parents) eg. What's new?
3. The item does not show

images...

Use the XML file in the ZIP archive, Fanra.

Another problem with 'target' option...

If the menu / links has multiple parent tabs only the original parent does the target work.

Also during installation of beta 4 ...

In the vb settings, is filled with CMS under standard yes

Why could this be? Maybe you have a tip for me?

I am trying to achieve something but for some reason I can't figure it out.
Here is what I need:
I have 2 add-ons (one for pictures and the other for videos) and need to link to each of them.
I created a main tab : Media
Created a menu media menu
created 2 links to each add-on page into that.
That works fine
but now when I am for example in the picture page I need several additional links showing in the sub-navbar (the smaller one below the TABS)
I just can't figure out how to create those additional links when I am or in the picture or the video page (both have different links of course).
Is it even possible?

Thanks a lot for any help

Is there a way to replace the entries (CMS categories) created by vB in the Home Tab?

Hi Andreas

Thanks for a great Add-on works well.

Is there anyway we can wrap the buttons when it get to a certain amount so we get a double navigation bar. Or specify how many rows they are displayed across?

I am merging my website into my forums with custom pages and would like a double row of buttons to accomodate all the pages.

Cheers

Sean.

how can i make the highlight stay on for more than a few scripts? it erases them after i type it in. I have five custom pages that are "channels"

I enter it like stream1.stream2.stream3.stream4.stream5 but it cuts off the last two scripts. the tab mod from before didnt do this.

EDIT. it works if you append the parent id to url and then do the same on all the links. it doenst seem to be as smooth as when it just uses the php scripts though. it works if you click from the menu bar but if you link directly to the php it does not. if you use the script it will light up regardless of how you get to it, thats why its better. now you have to add the tab id to every link to a php page if you want it to light up. that sucks.

Using the allow/not allow for usergroups doesnt actually protect the page does it? just who can view the menu item, correct? so if they know the url they can still see it. I add this on my custom php pages:

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
print_no_permission();
}

if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6, 18)) {
// no permission if you aren't a member of usergroupid 6, 18
print_no_permission();
}

just change user id to whatever the group is.

@Wilford - yes Navigation Manager only hide/reveals menu items - it does nothing to control page access (nor should it).

Your code snippets are one approach to the permission problem.

If you make your custom page a plugin product, you can parameterise the member usergroups (or anything) that applies to the security you want to implement.

Kym

In each of my custom .PHP pages I place

Where xxx is the reference I want to use.
Then in Navigation specify xxx in the Tab Script's box

Any sub links I then also use the same reference and it stays highlighted.

I use this in the templates rather than the PHP scripts, that also works.

Cheers

Sean.

I get this error when I try to upgrade from beta 3 to beta 4:

EDIT: I'm an idiot, I uploaded the files to the wrong site... it works now

How do you use HTML to change the font color of a menu item. When I put this in the Title of a menu item:

I get the following error: I am also now getting the following error on nearly all of my menu items: I'm also running into a problem where after several edits of a menu item, I can no longer make changes to it (the changes appear to save, but when you go back and look, they didn't save).

Andreas is @Forumcon in the USA -- there are a few issues with this tool -- I'm sure he will attend to them when he returns

The title is too long which is why you get the error.
For HTML it needs to have a short title

Use this instead

Still getting this error:

Two issues still can't figure out:

1) when one hovers over the menu it doesn't drop down automatically for the user - they have to click on it

2) when I have the tab parent set as a link when you click on it nothing happens - would be nice to allow the link to be active.

Any ideas how to fix the above? thanks good extension

Dunno about that one. Make sure you uploaded all of the files form the latest .zip and you are running beta4

1. This is how vBulletin menus function without modification. This plugin does not change that
2. Not sure what you mean. When I click on a Parent Tab, it goes to the page that tab is linked to.

I am running Beta 4.

One of the things I do when judging whether or not I'm going to try a mod is to read the last page of comments.

According to the last few comments there seems to still be some bugs to work out on this mod.

Is anyone else using the mod without any issues?

I am. vB 4.2.0 PL1.

Honestly, I think the majority of issues people are having stem from either (1) confusion about how the new navigation manager works, or (2) overly customized styles that have not yet been updated to 4.2.0.

I installed navmanager_enhancements_1-0-0_Beta_4 after upgrading to vB 4.2 and now I get this at the top of the page when I click on my shop link or any other non-vb created links:

,navmanager_enhancements.css

To see this in action, go to http://dmsinteractiveweb.com/forum.php and click on the shop link.

What is the fix for this?

BTW: I do think this is an excellent mod. As with any beta versions, I do expect that some flaws may occur.

Hi,

How to add a Dropdown-Menu to a Tab?
Maybe I just misunderstand.
I don't see that option :confused:

I wanna show more links in Menu, but this links must show just for unlogged users.
Use vB 4.2 PL2 - all usergroups on "User is not a member of ..." are checked but the Links has show all users, logged also unlogged.

Ca work here with $show Array for unlogged user? How is the $show Array for unlogged user?

Several of my own concerns. If this is vbulletin default functionality, then the navigation system has gone a bit downhill.

In most navigation designs, when one hovers over the parent, the child menu opens up. That is a common standard and I am shocked reading that vBulletin apparently does not use that. At the minimum an option should be added to allow hovering to function to open menus.

The lower menu bar below the tabs should display the second level menu items there like the forum links do. I can care less about the forum submenu items if I am on my shop page.

Anyway to fix this?

I can't figure out how to make drop down menus with this. Admittedly I haven't read through the whole thread.

Anyone got a quick 1.2.3 guide?

Create an account at the website below and go to link http://www.itvault.com/threads/3644-...Bulletin-4.2.0. Then follow the same process for what ever mod you want to build the menus for.

To build a submenu system regard it like this:

Tabs = top level menu
Menu = second and lower menu items that open when Tab is clicked on.
Link = where you want to go after clicking on it. I use relative URLs and it works.

If you want a specific menu system displayed after clicking a tab, then a plugin must be created and specified. Following Greystoke's fix for his mod at the link I provided should help you along.

BTW, Greystoke provides superb support on his oscCart and has done a great deal of work for me and I am thrilled with his results. Try to get him to help if you are willing to budget a few $$$ his way.

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.

Kym

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.

Kether

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])

Kym

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!
