Description:
Adds a drop down menu on your navbar which contains links you add through the ACP.

################################################## ###############
FAQ

Q: The link doesn't look right on the navbar
A: While on your forums view the source and search for id="navbar_search"
To the right should be "class" (For the default skin the class is "vbmenu_control")

Edit the navbar template
Find:

PHP Code:


			
<td id="custom_links" class="vbmenu_control">

Replace the "class" so it's the same as the search's class.
Let's say you're class is "nav_element" then it should look like this

PHP Code:


			
 <td id="custom_links" class="nav_element">

Open the product xml in an editor
Find:

PHP Code:


			
<td class='vbmenu_control'>

Replace with your class.

PHP Code:


			
<td class='nav_element'>

installed thanks !

twitch · #94 10-27-2005, 10:56 PM

I am not seeing any menu to change the order of the links and I don't understand what difference its supposed to make for setting the link as a standalone or drop down only. I tried setting them both ways and didn't notice anything different. Also, how would I go about changing the title of the drop down box from "extras" to "links"

Thanks for this extension, very cool idea!

@NxTek
It's not there because I removed it and re-uploaded te file.
Just upload the xml as is.

@twitch
If you have recently downloaded my hack search for "Extras" in the phrase manager.

If it's not there open the "navbar" template and look for "Extras" (it's in there twice).

Setting it as a stand alone will put a link on the navbar, the other will put the link in the drop down box.

doesn't matter what I set it, its always in the drop down box. And I can't find the place to sort the order the links are in.

Does your the "Custom Links" page in the ACP look like this?
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...chmentid=36414

If not then redownload the zip and just overwrite the product and replace the file that goes in the admincp directory.

Patience Padwan

it's only just been released. I'd say the lack of caching the templates was more important than icons, personally. I'm itching to get rid of the bright red message microstats is giving me :nervous:

Sorry, I am currently working on ecards for my site.
The ecards use php. Iuse a form where you type some stuff and it appears on the image.

I am also working on my testimonial mod and some ajax thingy.

@TygerTyger
I fix it sometime today.
