A friend solved this for me. Posting it in case it will help someone else.

The changes I made to vba_cmps_adminfunctions.php (via ftp: /forum/includes/vba_cmps_adminfunctions.php) worked.

Additionally, navigation.php (via ftp: /forum/modules/navigation.php) needs to be edited in two places, as follows:


1. Find:

PHP Code:

$title = $navlinks['text']; 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

$title = $navlinks['text'];
$image = $navlinks['image']; 


2. Find:

PHP Code:

$templater->register('title', $title); 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

$templater->register('title', $title);
$templater->register('image', $image); 


Regarding adv_portal_navigationbits template, edit as follows:

<div><vb:if condition="$image"><img src="{vb:raw image}" alt="{vb:raw title}" align="top" vspace="1" /><vb:else />{vb:raw navmark}</vb:if> <vb:if condition="$link"><a href="{vb:raw link}"<vb:if condition="$native == 0"> target="_blank"</vb:if>>{vb:raw title}</a></vb:if></div>

Please note that mine is written so that links to anything outside of my site open in a new window/tab. Use align and vspace (vertical space) to adjust alignment of the images.

You should now have Image fields in your Admin CP when editing your Site Navigation module. Just input a relative path to your image. Example: /forum/images/custom/image.png

That's it!
