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'>

In your CMPS settings under Portal Output Global Variables place:

Is there a way to get the links to appear as the same on the navigation bar for advanced vbulletin CMS. The Extra's appear there but the links are not there.

MorrisMcD · #**213** 02-27-2006, 03:21 AM

I know this is minor, but its kinda annoying.. when you use the new posts on the navbar a lot, you will notice it.. when you go to new posts and there arent any new posts, (from that page) the extras menu drops down with nothing.. Any ideas why?

SaN-DeeP · #**214** 02-27-2006, 02:47 PM

this extension will come handy for quick editing navbar..

CnB · #**215** 02-27-2006, 10:05 PM

in 3.5.3 the line

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

is not there ?
anybody know where to place it?

You could try the same method that works for the CMPS

Code:

In your CMPS settings under Portal Output Global Variables place:
custom_droplinks
custom_singlelinks

I have no idea why it does that.

Few Questions:

Is it away to keep it from showing up twice? You have extra ON the navbar, then it looks as if you did a thead with extra in it again. Can I remove the 2nd instance? Or name it something else?

Also, is it possible to do more than one dropdown per stand alone link?

Last but not least, is it possible to keep the drop downs lined up with standalone it's under? My drops are showing left justified or something. Is it a tag that centers the drops that I might've changed by mistake?

CnB · #**220** 02-28-2006, 06:57 PM

hmm dunno doesnt seem like this something for me.
either my style uses a different navbar or the template changed in 3.5.3 and 3.5.4

it is in the header though, but then again the 
is not int he header its in the navbar

Devil Woman · #**221** 03-04-2006, 09:52 PM

I am having the same problem in 3.5.4 there is nothing in the navbar template to do with calandar and I have take a look loads of times, I can however find $vbphrase[calendar] in the forumhome template but that is not the same as what it asks to look for however I can find  in the navbar template so I can do the 2nd part but not the first as I can not find anything to do with calendar in the navbar template

Thanks
