way too many items in the navbar...
 
ok so I've gone mod crazy....and loving... :rolleyes:
only problem is...now I have way too many items in the navbar and my cup overfloweth. :nervous:

any suggestions/tips on how to break up the navbar or separate out some the links?

right now I have (left to right):
===============================================
User CP | FAQ | Members List | Calendar | Arcade | Gallery | vbRadio | Downloads | Quiz | New Posts | Search | Quick Links | Log Out
===============================================


and that obvious runs way to long, especially if I wanna fix the forum width.
how would you guys go about breakin that down/separating it out? (or what is the way most ppl do it?)

Best suggestion is either duplicate the navbar links section so you have two of them.

Or do what I did and use one of Amyhkars hacks for the column on the left or right side.

There's a template mod.. in template mods funny enough ... to have two navbars :) that's what I used.

Alternatively, if you don't want two navbars - create a new menu called "Interactive" or something similar and place your additional links there.. :)

I had a menu called 'Main Menu' or something like that on my 3.0.x The only things outside of that were the userCP, search, members, log out and quick links.

I have a drop down menu called Members and that's where I put ths stuff that only members have access to (Member's list, etc.) It cleans up some space. ;)

cool all very good ideas....thanks!

now all I gotta do is figure out HOW some of you did those things. lol :p

<<< *sigh* working my way step-by-step outta the n00bpool :( hehe. :p

For my suggestion, open up your navbar template, find:
HTML Code:
                <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>
Below it, add:
HTML Code:
                <td id="interactive" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#interactive">Interactive</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("interactive"); </script></td>
At this point, remove the additional links from the navbar - they should be located around the same area.


Still in your navbar template, find:
HTML Code:
<if condition="$show['popups']">
<!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->
Below it, add:
HTML Code:
        <!-- interactive links -->
        <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="interactive_menu" style="display:none">
                <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
                        <tr><td class="thead">Interactive Features</td></tr>
                        <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="#">Feature #1</a></td></tr>
                        <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="#">Feature #2</a></td></tr>
                        <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="#">Feature #3</a></td></tr>
                        <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="#">Feature #4</a></td></tr>
                </table>
        </div>
        <!-- / interactive links -->
Now replace those Feature links with the additional links that you want.. :)

For what your talking about Grendel I think Oblivions idea is best for ya.

As you expand or if you get a ton of links you can move to Azhrialilu's idea which takes a lil more familiarity with the code.

Using Amykhar's mods for a sidebar menu is a bit trickier but both my suggestion and Azhrialilu's would likely give you more space then you need right now :)

GrendelKhan{TSU 08-21-2005 01:15 PM
thanks!!

I'm gunna go with Oblivions idea first. (quick and dirty, but effective). I'll look into the Azhrial and your suggestion as I expand later as you suggest. :D ;) :D

Great suggestions all!!! ^^
