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'>

Hi.. someone should have told me it would wipe out all my previous links if i upgraded to the latest version... also the links do not show on the IPBarcade main page as it did before... the links are working, but as i say wiped out and now the arcade...

I too would like to know how to change the 'Extras' label on the drop-down to something else of my choosing. Can someone let me know where, how? Thanks!

[harmor19]

Look for the phrase "Extras" in the ACP.

Will this be updated to 3.6.x? Its a nice hack and I'd like to keep using it.

[harmor19]

There's already a version for 3.6.x.

harmor since i upgraded vbulletin to the Latest version available: 3.6.7 PL1
The custom links in the admin cp shows The webpage cannot be found.
the extra links still show in the navbar.
Do i need to re install this or overwrite it?

[sjim]

Found it .
I had to reupload the
admincp/admin_custom_links.php --> admincp/admin_custom_links.php

Thanks for the mod. :up:

[socalsoccer]

can this be added to another location other than navbar? I would like to add it to a category bar instead, or in some dead space between some categories.

Thanks

Is there an upgrade for 3.7.2? I am running that version and the links are not showing up.
