Author: Andrew Harmor
Version: 2.0.2
File Edits: 0
Template Edits: 2
Difficulty: Easy


Description:
You can add links or multiple menus to the navbar quickly through a form. Specify which usergroups can see each link via the permissions system.


F.A.Q.
Q: Why aren't the links showing?
A: Edit the link in your Admin CP and check the usergroup permissions

Q: All the links I made from the last version are gone
A: Go into phpmyadmin and select your vbulletin database.
Browse the table named "custom_droplinks". Change all the "catid's" with 0 to 1.
Go into your ACP --> Advanced Navbar Links --> Modify/Delete The links should show up under the first category. You can edit the links from here and select a different category to place it in.

Q: How do I get the links to appear on vBAdvanced?
A: Go into your ACP --> vBa CMPS --> Default Settings
Look for "Portal Output Global Variables". Add the following into the text area.

custom_singlelinks
custom_droplinks
custom_droplinks_cat

If you install this mod please press the "Install" button.

--Change Log--
1.0.0 - Initial Release

1.0.1 - took out the code that automatically added HTML to the navbar. I thought having it do it automatically was cool but can be annoying because you can't easily customize the class or placement

2.0.0 - Added the functionality to add multiple drop down menus

2.0.1 - Added missing table prefixes

Log into your ACP
On the left look for "Languages & Phrases", click the "down" arrow.
Click on "Search in Phrases".
In the "Search for Text" box type "custom_links_link".
A couple rows below are three options, select "Phrase Variable Name Only".
Click "Find".

You should see search results.
Click "Edit".
In the text area type the word you want to replace "Extras" with.

Okay having a go installing mod...

[harmor19]

I like to have your suggestions.
I'm upgrading this hack so you can create unlimited number of drop down menus.
My question is "Do you want each drop down menu to have their own independent usergroup permissions"?

The way I have the new version coded is that each menu has their own usergroup permissions then the links in the menus have their usergroup permissions of their own.

[rickyreter]

Yes separate would be good as a option..i have used drop down menus but not this mod i have done my own...but find that guest would like content too.
Either way is good.
