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 managed to get the words extra off. but not the little arrow dropdown thingy.

Ill get it off tomorrow. and hopefully remember how I did it so i can tell you how

ciao

welp as i thought. I have managed to get the thing into my custom style and modified the way i want it.

But im very sry i cannot rememeber all the changes i made.

I had to chop it up to get it in the right place. so sry I wont be of any help

if you want to see the total code i can do that. but not sure if it will help.


Good Luck !

ok i just went and looke
to remove the little arrow just add

 ,1

example :

<a href="$show[nojs_link]#TTC"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/fusion_header_faq.gif" width="50" height="38" border="0" alt="Xtra Links #2" /></a><script type="text/javascript">vbmenu_register("TTC" ,1)

I rewrote the whole thing so the java script name is not the same as yours. but I thnk youll understand.

see the ("TTC" ,1)

well , it was just ("TTC") I added the ,1 and it goes away

I hope this helps you ....... Good Luck
