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'>

Firstly great hack and apologies if I am repeating what has already been asked.

I have followed the instructions, but when I look click on Extras, all that I see in the drop down box is Extras, and none of the links I have added.

Can anybody help.

Thanks

I've installed it into 3.5.4 and it works fine.
Any way to rename it from 'Extras' to something else? I may have missed that in the thread, I'll go back and look.

If you like I could try and install it for you.

When you add a link make sure you check the radio box "Add Stand Alone Link" to "No"

I installed the extension (files to appropriate locations) and it seems to work fine on my navigation bar. However, I cant seem to find the Options to add/change links in the ACP?! Any help appreciated. Thanks, Ivan
