Help needed with navbar in 3.5.4

I have searched for a while now for help on this and found nothing, I have even asked for help in a hack I used to use on a previous version and nothing, what it is is I wish to add more links to the navbar on VB 3.5.4 but when I go to navbar template and search for calendar its not there so now I am completly stuck, how would I add new links to the navbar in 3.5.4 any help is appreciated

Thanks

Is this possible at all on 3.5.4? I have looked everywhere for help, I have even tried everything I can think of on my test board and nothing

Would it be easier for me to use a 2nd navbar?

Thanks

im in the same predicament.. i want to add another link! but i dunno how!

i made a similar thread if mine gets responded to i shall tell ya!

k lady i got you some answers..

here ye are.

for yo calendar question..

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

if you wanna rename that or add another link on just do this

Just replace the calendar code (it's in my first post) with what you want.

For example: replacing it with a link to vBulletin.com:

Code:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.vbulletin.com/">Official vBulletin site</a></td>

In your navbar template find the section that starts with:



Under that you will see lines like:

Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[faq]</a></td>

Adding another one of those will add a new link to the navbar - just edit the href tag to whatever and replace the vbphrase[faq] with whatever text you want to display.

ha it works! tried and true!

www.lokiart.com/forums/index.php

i replaced my Calender link with my Application to be a mod link!!

hope i helped you in some way!

i aggree darat! but! some people do not know or understand vbphrase stuff..
so this might be a litle easier! i edited this up a bit.. obviously

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="insert the link to the page you want here">Name that will appear on the Navbar goes here!</a></td>

Is it just me as I am not finding either, could it be because I am using different templates and not the default template?

Thanks

Edit: I have found  but all I get below it is

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

and in 2 templates I am using I am not able to find  or

You need to look below:  not below:

Why are you looking in 2 templates? If you want to edit the navbar, open up the navbar template. (Style Manager, <<>>, Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates, navbar)

Do as stated, and search for: 

If you are searching in any template other than the "navbar" template, you won't find what we are talking about. If you have modified your navbar template in the past, you may not find what we are talking about.

What I mean is the actual style I have looked below the  and all I get is nothing stated as above just  below it.

I am editing the navbar template in each style and only 1 style I use can I find the  the other 2 styles I have on my board I can not find this code in the navbar

I have never modified the navbar template before as this is the only reason I need to modify my navbar template and I am not able to find what I am looking for to edit it

As Darat and Rich pointed out look between  and . Here is your code below (from view source):

Code:

<!-- nav buttons bar -->

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">

        <tr align="center">

                <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="faq.php?" accesskey="5">FAQ</a></td>

<!-- / nav buttons bar -->

Thats in the vbviet template, I will go take a look in the navbar template again

Thanks alot

Edit: I have searched in the navbar template of that style that your viewed the source on and I can't find it anywhere for searching or looking, here is the code

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

<!--

function log_out()

{

        ht = document.getElementsByTagName("html");

        ht[0].style.filter = "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(grayscale=1)";

        if (confirm('$vbphrase[sure_you_want_to_log_out]'))

        {

                return true;

        }

        else

        {

                ht[0].style.filter = "";

                return false;

        }

}

//-->

</script>

unless I am mistaken and missing something but even when I search for  I am not finding it now

Hi devil women, i found i had the same problem finding things in navbar template for some skins. I found where to put stuff was in the header template, i think that this is where you will find all your nav buttons that you are looking to edit. Try your search in this template.

Thankyou very much leftie found it all in there :)

Thanks alot :)

Thanks all for the help

Hey great np, i helped someone at last. :D

I am having another problem I now wish to move the links I want from the navbar so I can only add them into the custom links bar but when I go to search for the code I put in, its now not there when I look in the source on the website it's there but isnt there when I look for it when i edit the template I can't find it

Does anyone know why this may be?

Nikki

try your header template. quite a number of styles have the navabr links located in the header.

I have tried both places m8, they are not in either, I can't understand it because the links are working properly and they are showing in the source but not when I search and I have gone down slowly on each template to see if I have missed it or the search hasnt picked it up, nothing

Nikki

I can take a look at it if you like.

I've sent you a PM.

All sorted now, thanks peterska :)

Nikki
