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'm having a strange problem.

I've had this mod installed for awhile now, and I love it, completely cleans up the navbar. Just today I decided to get a new style (two of them so far). I was worried my template changes wouldn't take effect.

The first new template, I put the custom links code into the right area in the template, and it works great. But, the second style, I put in the code, the link shows up, but when I click my features, nothing shows up. I'm confused as to why one new style works, all my old default styles work, but the second new style will not work.

Any ideas?

5wayshosting,
To find the navbar template log into your Admin CP
On the left frame open the 'Styles & Templates' category and click on 'Style Manager'.
In the drop down menu select "Edit Templates".
Find "Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates" and double click it.
Now double click on "navbar".

hilfe,
Unregistered users can use it. Do you mean that you don't want them to use it?
