<if condition="$show['admincplink']">

        <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="AdminMenu_menu" style="display:none">

                <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">

                <tr><td class="thead">Admin Tools</span></td></tr>

                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://option1">First Option</a></td></tr>

                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://option2">Second Option</a></td></tr>

                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://option3">Third Option</a></td></tr>

                </table>

        </div>

</if>

<!-- /Admin Tools Menu Element -->

Change http://option1/2/3 to the full URL of the option you'd like to link. For example, if you wanted to put a link to the AdminCP in the dropdown, the code would be:

Code:

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.yourdomain.tld/forum/admincp/index.php">Admin CP</a></td></tr>

"First/Second/Third Option" is simply the text displayed in the dropdown, edit it to suit whatever it is you're linking to. I personally don't use this for the AdminCP, but I find it useful for linking to PSIStats, Moderator Statistics and my VPS Server's Control Panel.

Well if you want to nitpick, the difference is the conditional, and the fact that I didn't see anything like this posted on here.

Not every hack has to be revolutionary dude. I find this handy, so I took the time to post it up and share it with the community. If this makes one single person's life easier, my time spent putting it together was well spent.

Thanks for sharing your mod. Could you also attach your instructions in a .txt file? Thanks.

Simple but useful, thanks Chris-777

Whoops! Pardon that, edited. :)

This is a great mini hack for those of us that can't do any of our own code.

I am using this as an option in my existing drop downs in order to get to my Administration forum:


<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(7))">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option">
<a href="/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=3">Administration</a>
</td></tr>
</if>


However, it only works for members who are ONLY in the Moderator group (#7). It doesn't seem to work for the accounts that are both Admins and Moderators (6+7). Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks!

Yep, change:

Code:

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(7))">

To:

Code:

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(6, 7))">

You can do it this way as well. I only use the array because of personal preference.

Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6 OR $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 7">

Code:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6, 7)">

The last one looks the cleanest.

Thanks again!

Anytime. :)

<!-- Admin Tools Menu Element -->

        <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="AdminMenu_menu" style="display:none">

                <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">

                <tr><td class="thead">Admin Tools</span></td></tr>

                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://option1">First Option</a></td></tr>

                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://option2">Second Option</a></td></tr>

                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://option3">Third Option</a></td></tr>

                </table>

<!-- /Admin Tools Menu Element -->

Won't this enable too see the links if they view source code, no matter what usergroup are no?

I ask this because I installed this to put a dropdown to some special search tools, and if anyone does right click and view source can get the links...

That's a great point, and wrapping the bottome code in a conditional is something I overlooked, thank you! This is a better way to do it.

Original post is updated with the new code.

To fix your existing navbar template:

Find:

Code:

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(7))">

Replace with:

Code:

<if condition="$show['admincplink']">

Find:

Code:

Add Below:

Code:

<if condition="$show['admincplink']">

Find:

Code:

Add above:

Code:

</if>

hmm, now that the <if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(7))"> and such is gone, and I suck at coding.. how can I set more than the admin usergroup?
Like if I want it to show for moderators too.. (6 and 7)?
Or if I want a seperate menu for mods and one for admins?

Edit: Fixed.

Just replaced the <if condition="$show['admincplink']"> with <if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(7))"> again. No one can see the code anyways now. Just the  but nothing in between.
