Navbar issues after upgrading to 4.2.1

1 Attachment(s)

My site - http://performancefanatic.com/ - was working great with 4.2.0 but I decided to go ahead and upgrade to 4.2.1 and it seems to be working fine except for the navbar. If you go to the site you can see what I'm taking about.

This is what the navbar used to look like...

Any ideas for fixing the issue?

EDIT - I added an attachment that shows the issue. It's under the main part that says "forum, garage" etc.

Where the quick link tab is seems to be up to far needs an extra space there

The gray text? Just edit the navbar_link_color and navbar_linkhover_color StyleVars.

Yeah that's not it. That is just the color not the placement. And if I change that to white for instance, it changes the color of the navtab font color. I think there may be some css that was done before that isn't working now but I don't know where/how to fix it.

Anyone who is good with coding can check the cached version of the site here

And it might help. I just can't figure it out.

If it isn't the stylevar navbar_link_color, then you have modified the template. This is how it should be in the template vbulletin-chrome.css - is it?

HTML Code:

.navtabs > ul.floatcontainer li a {

        color:{vb:stylevar navbar_link_color};

        padding:{vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}/5} {vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}/2};

}

and

HTML Code:

.navtabs > ul.floatcontainer li a.popupctrl {

        -moz-border-radius:3px;

        -webkit-border-radius:3px;        

        border-radius:3px;

        border:solid {vb:stylevar navbar_tab_border.borderWidth}{vb:stylevar navbar_tab_border.units} transparent;

        background:transparent url({vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/arrow.png) no-repeat {vb:stylevar right} center;

        padding-{vb:stylevar right}:15px;

        color: {vb:stylevar navbar_link_color};

}

It looks like you are also missing some padding.

        color: {vb:stylevar navbar_link_color};

}

It looks like you are also missing some padding.

The only things that have been changed are in the additional css... It looks okay though to me when I view it so I'm not sure where the issue is.

Anyone know of a fix? I've seen several posts on different sites. Looks like people who had a changed theme and upgraded to 4.2.1 are having similar issues.

Lynne

The fix is to see if the designer has a new upgraded style. Or, alternately, fix the css yourself.

mustangguy1230

Yeah well the designer doesn't and fixing the css isn't the easiest thing in the world to do. I have support at my hosting company working on it now. They've even tried several things and are not sure why it's not working. They got the spacing right but now the don't know why the color isn't matching "advanced search" like it should.

Anything?

This should be a simple matter for your skin designer to fix as 'Lynne' said. I don't understand why your hosting company is trying to fix this?

Unless the skin designer is doing some weird DOM changes on elements, this is just some CSS that needs to be modified. Not that I know but VB probably just modified some layout code that your designer used as part of his selectors for his CSS.

I know this is frustrating, but it is not a hard thing to fix by someone who understand vb and CSS.

Take Care :)

Ok I got it fixed.

For anyone looking to fix it, you need to edit the vbulletin-chrome.css. I changed the colors to not be part of the stylevar but just to be #fff and I changed the height in the style var to 44px to have it more centered. Looks much better now. Probably not the best fix but it works.

I'm having this exact same problem. Can you please tell me what you changed in vbulletin-chrome.css? Thanks.

ul.floatcontainer li a.popupctrl { was one i remember. if you use google chrome, you can right click on what you want to see and click "inspect element" and see what needs to be changed.

I've looked and tried to solve the same issue. My skills are not the best. Can someone be a bit more exact where the code goes.

Thanks in advance.

Some styles are coded different, so there is no global fix for your style.

The way to fix it is to see if the designer has a new upgraded style. Or, alternately, fix the css yourself, by playing around with it..

I believe the fix is in vbulletin-chrome.css (according to mustangguy1230) to have the sub-link bar show up on the homepage.

When I chrome inspect element the sub-link bar at: http://broncosforums.com/ it shows how they fixed it. I don't know how to interpret that to find the placement of the fix.

I'm using vBulletin? Version 4.2.1 and vBadvanced CMPS v4.2.1 just like many forums that are also missing the sub-link bar on the homepage.

Once again, thanks in advance.

check vbulletin-chrome.css file and look for floatcontainer class and edit it as you like.

terrificdude

09-25-2013 12:45 AM

I tried editing the vbulletin-chrome.css (did not recognize a floatcontainer) yet when I chrome inspect element the sub-link bar of http://broncosforums.com/ it shows something about adv_portal_navtab. See for yourself. That is what I'm trying to figure out. I have found another forum that fixed it the same way. (http://www.signs101.com/index.php) So, it can be done. Yet, I don't know how.

Thanks in advance for your help.

can you provide a link to your forum?

I will look for the code as soon as possible for you...

The sub-links appear on all the tabs but the Home tab.

yah, this is strange. I noticed that your page where the sub nav doesn't show is index.php, is that vbulletin CMS by any chance!!!

also, do you have a condition in your navbar template like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'

or like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'search'">

and last, is that a custom page?? because you have index.php after /forum/ and in your case index.php and forum.php are different pages??

if things didn't work, I guess you need to read this thread:
