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 so tired so forgive me.

I'm looking for it.

Do you not want the attachment then?

No worries mate, any and all help is appreciated. If it doesn't work it doesn't work, I'll live.

I don't even know why I asked for it.

re-download the zip and just re-import the product.

Success! After the 10th-odd redownload and import or so it worked. Did you change anything or was that just weird.

I had to change something I overlooked.

Oh well done, thank you. I have some more bad news though (sorry), the drop-down menu does not display added links. Standalone links display correctly. It just has the title Extras in the dropdown menu and then nothing. Not even a blank space.

Open the product xml

PHP Code:

Find & Remove:
$vbulletin->templatecache['custom_droplinks'] = str_replace('$custom_droplinks', '$custom_droplinks Testing', $vbulletin->templatecache['custom_droplinks']); 


Re-import the xml using overwrite.


I was trying something while I was helping and forgot to remove it.

[TygerTyger]

Heh, no problem. Now working perfectly, thanks for the prompt help.

Is there a way to catorgarize links with seperators? ...

If you entered some text for the cat heading but didn't enter a link then the seperator would appear! - sound good?
