EDIT:
The attachment has the folder "adminCP" <-- should be admincp .. the caps creates a whole new map.

EDIT 2:
Saving a tab name gives me:
EDIT 3:
As your screenshot, when adding multiple links to the navbar. The first link uses up some space over the other links you'll add.. Possible this can align all perfectly?

EDIT 4:
Possible more tabs can be created with this plugin? :)

Fixed for next

Edit : FIXED

Fixed for next version

Ofcourse, lastest version have 3, but you have to uninstall previous version
as i was cleaing the install code for the db..

Is it possible to require that a link opens in a new window / new tab (depending on browser) / existing window ?

Thanks

oh you want to control if the links open in same window, parent or new ?
gonna add it to the todo's good idea, relative simple to implement.

Something I've seen on some other mods that do similar things would be allowing you to specify a user group that the links show to, per link.

Anyway, nice stuff. =)

Tagged My old 3.8 forum had two fully loaded nav bars and 1 navtab bar im sure as i repopulate my links this will come in very useful.

thanks man I will use it in my forum
