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'>

Is there any possible way with this to stop guests from seeing what is in the custom links drop down @ all

Thanks

The only way to stop guests from viewing the links in the drop down list is use a conditional.

I'll will write one up and post it.

[harmor19]

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

Above Add:
<if condtion="$bbuserinfo[userid] != 0">

Find:
vbmenu_register("custom_links"); </script></td>

Below Add:
</if>


I would like to note that this is untested but I am very confident that will work.

Works fine on 3.5.3?

Warning
Do NOT import product-custom_links(front-end_error_messages).xml, this can seriously mess up your database!

Nice hack.

The only thing is my members keep getting logged out if the forum when clicking any of the links,any idea why.

Hey,

???

Many Thanks,

Sam
