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'>

I have finally upgraded my hack.

16x16 images can be added to both stand-alone and drop down links.

Download the zip file, extract, browse to "upgrades" and follow the text file.

I'm sorry about that
Run this query in your ACP
[sql]
ALTER TABLE custom_droplinks ADD vb_image varchar(60) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;
[/sql]
Change the prefix "vb_" to the prefix you're vbulletin is using.

If that doesn't work re-download the product, uninstall your current one and upload the newly downloaded one.

Same Problem... but its weird, 'cos when I apply the quarry the problem began.

harmor19 · #**139** 01-03-2006, 08:35 PM

I'm sorry again, hopefully people will install this hack despite my mistakes.

@YOimYO and LockeAG
Re-download the zip and upload "admin/admin_custom_links.php"

JohnBee · #**140** 01-03-2006, 10:04 PM

Simply AMAZING!
This is one great and useful hack! - thanks for this, installed...

harmor19 · #**141** 01-04-2006, 04:21 AM

I guess I fixed the errors since no one reported any.

I'm kind of debating on adding stuff to this hack or make another one.
I have no idea how I would go about making it permission based.
I am brainstorming on how I would have it so you can add multiple drop down lists.

I guess I can start with Admin Permissions, like what admin(s) can add, edit, and delete the links.

Thank all of you for liking my hack

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
