How do I change text in Navbar?

[RollaJedi]

I'm just wanting to reword the text that is shown on the navbar to my liking. Is there a way to do this thats pretty easily explainable? I'm a noob, so go gentle. Thank you!

Also, can I have another navbar, like maybe below the one I have as well? Thanks!

I know there are mods for having multiple navbars, so have a look around in the mods section.

As for changing the navbar:

Go into your AdminCP. In the left column, choose Styles & Templates/Style Manager. This will bring up a list of all of your forum skins. In each and every one, you will have to expand the options, find either the header or navbar template pages, and edit them. The code you are looking for looks most likely just like this:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>

Just change the $vbphrase[user_cp] (or whatever you are changing) to say what you want, and the usercp.php to the new link place (like forums.php, or rules.php). If you are adding instead of changing, just copy paste the original code in the place you want it and then change the variables.

I'm self taught for the most part, and that was one of the things I've had to do a million times because of the sheer number of templates and my insane need for Home, Forums, and Rules buttons. XD

If its default in vBulletin or its a hack, you can try changing the phrases in admincp

OR you can just edit the navbar template and look for the links and change then. Example:

<!-- nav buttons bar -->
<div align="center">
    <table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">
    <tr align="center">
        <if condition="$show['member']">
            <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[usercp]</a></td>
        </if>
        <if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
            <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[register]</a></td>
        </if>
        $template_hook[navbar_buttons_left]
        <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[faq]</a></td>
        <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[member_list]</a></td>
        <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>
        <if condition="$show['popups']">        
            <if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">

    </tr>
    </table>
</div>
<!-- / nav buttons bar -->

The bold red text represents the text for the link. Just edit the text and the URL to your likings.

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="mylink.html">My Text</a></td>
