Installed on 3.5.2 and it works great, thank you

It would be perfect if would possible to add a phrase as linkname.

Hey,

do you think it's possible to modify this (great) hack, that my
user can organize theirown custom links? it would be more than great.

Hi Harmor19,

I've got a problem simular to the one below.

After installing your normal xml (not the front page error messages one), I got this error. I then tried uninstalling it, but couldn't. I tried reinstalling and uninstalling a couple of times, with no results. When trying to uninstall, I just cannot. The button doesn't do anything. I select uninstall in the product screen from the dropdown list, but the "go" button doesn't actually do anything when I click it.

Now, I do have a couple of other hacks installed, and I wonder if that didn't mess around a bit, but I need to know how to get rid of this thing now. The problem is that I cannot install or uninstall anything else now. It's completely broken.

If you need anything to try and help out, I'd be more than happy to give you an admin username and password to my server, to have a look around, if that'll help.

Please, I am despirate. I need to get rid of this and get my server stable again, and be able to install and uninstall other hacks again.

Thanks for your help.
Firestar.

I guess you take the code that I have you put in the navbar and just put it into the side bar.

@Firestar.chkn
I'm sorry but I have the slightest idea what the problem could be.

As for the stuff I said I was going to add, I was really busy and never got around to do it.
If anyone wants they can make add-on hacks.

How would I do the template caching?

Is there a way I can add 2 of these? I have one working and I love it!

Where can i edit the settings of what this does ? I would like the new buttons to be created below. not beside the word extras.

thx :)

works nicely btw with 3.5.0 gold :D

I'm glad you like my hack.

Well I lost my site that I did my hacks on so I can't help, sorry.

I guess I'll have to set up one of those home servers.


I'm affraid not, sorry.

I have finally upgraded my hack.

16x16 images can be added to both stand-alone and drop down links.

Download the zip file, extract, browse to "upgrades" and follow the text file.

very nice, exellent work!

I can easily add a "Stand alone" link, but when i am adding a drop down link, this is what happens! :surprised:

updated with 3.5.0 Gold with no probs ;)

I'm sorry about that
Run this query in your ACP
[sql]
ALTER TABLE custom_droplinks ADD vb_image varchar(60) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;
[/sql]
Change the prefix "vb_" to the prefix you're vbulletin is using.

If that doesn't work re-download the product, uninstall your current one and upload the newly downloaded one.

ok. I upgraded last night. I went in to add a photo ( smilie ) as the pic.
but i get this error on submit. Now i cannot customize my links at all. no matter what changes i do. I stull get the same error :P


any suggestions ?

thx

Same Problem... but its weird, 'cos when I apply the quarry the problem began.

I'm sorry again, hopefully people will install this hack despite my mistakes.

@YOimYO and LockeAG
Re-download the zip and upload "admin/admin_custom_links.php"

Simply AMAZING!
This is one great and useful hack! - thanks for this, installed...

I guess I fixed the errors since no one reported any.

I'm kind of debating on adding stuff to this hack or make another one.
I have no idea how I would go about making it permission based.
I am brainstorming on how I would have it so you can add multiple drop down lists.

I guess I can start with Admin Permissions, like what admin(s) can add, edit, and delete the links.

Thank all of you for liking my hack :)

Am I blind, lol I cant find where it is in the admin cp, can anyone help me?

Did you upload vb_custom_links\new_install\includes\cpnav_custom_ links.xml to your_forum_root/includes/xml/?

If so it should be under
Forums & Moderators

Thanks I have that sorted but now when I add a link it shows up next to the extras and not in the drop down

Also my extras link in the navbar is highlighted and doesnt look like the rest of my links in the navbar, can anyone help please

Thankyou

Please read through the Q and A's at the top.

I have done this one

Q: The link doesn't look right on the navbar

edited all it tells me to edit but still nothing could it be that nav_element is not my class if it's not where would I find what mine is

Thanks

You can PM me your site or post it here.
I'll tell you what your class is.

I really like this hack. Install went fine once I uploaded the right xml file.

Question:

I do not want images to show up next to my links, or, if that isn't possible, a simple dot or something. How do I disable the link images?

TDF

When adding the link do not put anything in the text box that's asking for the image.

P.S.
Fix your homepage and put http:// infront of it
i.e. http://www.latechbbb.com

Works a treat, Thank you harmor19.

Updates (Just incase you installed my hack and didn't click the "Install" Button)

I found a bug when adding images to a drop down link.

Redownload the archive and re-upload 'admincp/admin_custom_links.php'.

This is minor but I fixed how the the image works.
Before it would show the image tag either or not you added an image.
Now the image tag is created only for links where you added the image.

Is this going to work on 3.5.3?

It should.
It wouldn't hurt to try it.

Thanks! I got my link fixed. Thank you for pointing that out.

I see you've updated the hack to fix the problem. I was leaving the field blank and was having the problem you described in your update. I had done a work around and just removed all the image code in the .xml to get around it. But now I've installed the upgrade and it is working fine.

Appreciate the quick response and support!

TDF

I did the vBulletin upgrade via plugin and it still works fine. Don't know about the full vBulletin upgrade, though.

TDF

I installed the hack and it works well . Thanks for that .

Question 1 - How do I rename the Title "EXTRAS" to something else

Question 2 - How do I move the link "EXTRAS" to a different location on the Nav Bar

Question 3 - I want to make another Navbar table under the the default navbar can I still use this hack to populate the new table ?

Question 4 I want to be able to have multiple links with drop downs like
http://www.synergyforums.com/forum/index.php? and http://www.haitiwebs.com/

I thought they were using your hack but in ACP under custom links I just have 2 options Add and Modify / Delete

Thank You ..

Question 1 - How do I rename the Title "EXTRAS" to something else
--Admin CP --> Languages & Phrases --> Phrase Manager click "Search".
In the "Search for Text" box type "Extras" and click "Find".
Click The "Edit" button on the page that comes up.
In the "English (US) Translation" box type the word you would like to use and click "Save".

Question 2 - How do I move the link "EXTRAS" to a different location on the Nav Bar
--Edit the navbar and place the code below in the template where you want it
Question 3 - I want to make another Navbar table under the the default navbar can I still use this hack to populate the new table ?
--Apply the direction under Edit navbar in the readme.txt to the new navbar.

Question 4 I want to be able to have multiple links with drop downs like
http://www.synergyforums.com/forum/index.php? and http://www.haitiwebs.com/
--Custom Links --> Add change the "Add Stand Alone Link" setting to "No".

I can add extra links to the navbar but the only one that lets me have a drop down is "EXTRAS" if I do Custom Links --> Add change the "Add Stand Alone Link" setting to "No" it adds the link under "EXTRAS"

This my Site I added the link "Public Records" . Is it possible to make the Public Records Link a Dropdown Like Extras . Thanks

If you added the link via my script then you cannot make it into a drop down menu.
I am trying to figure out how to add it.

Here's a tutorial on how to make a drop down menu

*Thanks* /me installs .....
