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'>

For members that are upgrading...
I am sorry but I do not know how to make an upgrade script so you'll need to delete the product from your admin control panel and reupload it.

Overwrite admincp/admin_custom_links.php

I updated the screenshots

[louis_chypher]

if upgrading after copying the files to your forum then in admin cp | maintenance | Execute sql query you should run two queries to update the two custom links tables

The following is an example of the queries

number one:

ALTER TABLE *custom_singlelinks ADD link_perms varchar(100) NOT NULL default ''

number two:

ALTER TABLE *custom_droplinks ADD link_perms varchar(100) NOT NULL default ''

Notice the * in the query. If you have a table prefix replace the * with the name of your table prefix. If you do not have a table prefix then do not include the * in the alter table sql querys

[PimvanJ]

Where to put the $custom_droplinks and $custom_singlelinks variables, to get this work in ibproarcade?
I'm using VB 3.54 and I already try this in the Arcade template but that didn't resolve the problem.
Any help highly appreciated.
