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'>

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

Thanks, that fixed it

For this hack? well adding icons, user perms & seperators may ensure you of that! - seems like you quite busy though.

I don't know to go about making user permissions and the icon will be easy but that's second on my list after I get my new hack working properly.

It cannot use more than 20 caracters when adding a name. ?? try putting the alphabet in. :ermm:
