Menu Control
 

Hey all,

Since this is the beta, and most of the information is included in the manual, I won't go into too much detail.

This is Menu Control 1.3 for vBulletin version 3.6.0 RC 3.

There may be a few bugs, and so it is important you must tell me about any you find!

Version 1.4 Menu Control is in production still and will be available for vBulletin 3.5 AND 3.6 very soon!

When Version 1.4 is released, I will use this thread to update it in.

In this version, I have updated some of the admin option descriptions for easier editing, but other than that it is the same as the 3.5 version.

Enjoy!

This looks great, well done.

A nice easy way to add new nav options on other skins too. This was one thing that put me off having a few skins but with this mod it will be much easier.

Slight problem when viewing another area of my site though: http://www.gbpride.co.uk/gallery/

Awwww, it doesnt work with 3.5.4? Darn... I would love to have this for 3.5.4!

I believe that version works in 3.5.4 ;)

You'll have to add $menucontrol under $navbar in the gallery templates.

can't find the main gallery template whilst searching for $navbar. I'll have to speak to the owner of Photoplog I think.

Other than that little problem, it's an excellent modification that makes it so much easier having more skins ;-)

Good stuff :) It probably would be better talking to Photoplog because I've never used it before :)

Thanks Marky! :)

Problem with Menu Image display in IE when "Images" is turned on in admin and no image selected for some links. IE displays ugly empty box where image should appear but FireFox works properly and does not display empty box. Tested on vb3.6 Gold. To correct IE problem I inserted meaningless images.

looking forward to the next release for 3.6
nice work

With the Colour option turned off, links appear black in Internet Explorer but as the right/skin default colour in FF. Any ideas why this may be the case?

still waiting menu dropdown ;)

In the next version I have on my "betaboard", this has been fixed! It will be included in the next version ;)

Hmm ill look into it ;)

I have the beta version 4 on a beta board and I should be able to finish it by this week. I may not include the dropdown menus in this version unfortunatly. I believe that it'll be a big addition to the mod and it should be in 2.0. So 1.4 will include bug fixes and a few new useful options :) It will be available on 3.5 and 3.6 :)

Thanks :)

Nice!

But I have two questions:

1. Is this also possible:

2. When I only have one menu item, will it be centered?

I worked out the solution to my "problem" as it were ;) When I updated I had not replaced the 1.2 template code in the navbar to "$menucontrol" instead. Silly me :)

Nice, but have one problem. I am using vbadvanced and vbulletin. The menu shows on my forums but not on the vbadvanced pages. How can I get the menu to show on my vbadvanced pages?

paste the code into the header template instead and it works fine

Found a fast way to add the menu to vbadvanced page.

In Portal Output Global Variables add this:

menucontrol

1. Yep
2. Yep :)

1. Find: <!-- breadcrumb, login, pm info --> in navbar template
Add Below: $menucontrol

To make the menu appear on your vBAdvanced portal add:

menucontrol

to your Portal Output Global Variables :)

Next version still in the making, will be released this week :)

How can I get the menu to show in ibparcade pages?

Also found when viewing someons Ip using the ip link in the forums that page will not display the menu.

Does anyone else have the problem with "new posts" page not showing the menu bar? Any idea why?

Sorry, useless hack.

It has no "center" Function if you only add 2 Links both are completely on the left.

Change where you put the urls - try putting your 2 links in 4 and 5

Saying that it's a "Useless hack" because it doesnt have a center function is pretty stupid... I would edit it so that when there wasn't any other links the first one was completely centered, but it seems it would be a waste of time seeing as you could use links 4 and 5 for example. It might happen one day if im bored lol :p

thanks , it a great hack! It userfull for me!

I Install this , but this image :

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

:( =(

Do you have images turned on? If so turn them off.

If turning off images does not work then do the following:

Turn on images
in the image url type clear.gif

this will then use the default vB clear.gif in the image position.

Hello,
I have installed, and find that is usefull for me,but i only want to have 5, or 6 links, how can i disable another ? In the attachment , i found that in your Menu Controll Setting ,there a two button at every link-settings, there're "Edit" and "Delete" , so how can i enable them,
So please help me to solve this problem
thank in advance,
regard,
mike

The Edit and Delete links were for development purposes. To only have 5 or 6 links showing just don't add anything in the other links. The showing links will centralise.
