Want to add multiple drop-down menus in your Navbar?

[Chicago_VLNU_4s]

thanks... needed this

[ngaiox]

Is there any way someone could do this for me?

If you can here are the details:

I want the super moderators and the administrators to be able to see the link.

I want the dropdown menu name to be Administration. Inside of it, I want there to be two links. Admin CP and Mod CP. Admin CP is the link only members of the usergroup Administrators can see. And Mod CP is the link only members of the usergroup Super Moderators can see. Is that going to be a problem doing this for me? I will appriciate it if you do.

PS: I need to learn the scripting of the templates better, lol.

Ok here ya go:
Go into your adminCP ->Styles and templates -> style manager -> default style -> select edit templates -> scroll down to 'navigation/breadcrump templates'and double click that -> navbar

Like Jennifer K says

Find:

<if condition="$show['member']">
			<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=logout&amp;logouthash=$bbuserinfo[logouthash]" onclick="return log_out()">$vbphrase[log_out]</a></td>
		</if>

Place this above (after editing it for your site):

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7)">				
<td id="stafflinks" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#stafflinks">Staff Links</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("stafflinks"); </script></td>
</if>

Now where it says

5,6,7

means super mods(5), admins(6) and mods(7)
If you dont want your super mods to see this then delete

5,

The same goes for the code below.

Then find:

 <if condition="$show['member']">
	<!-- user cp tools menu -->
	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="usercptools_menu" style="display:none">
		<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
		
		<tr><td class="thead">$vbphrase[quick_links]</td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.huntleyneighbors.com/forum/faq.php">FAQ</a></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.huntleyneighbors.com/forum/view.php?pg=useragreement">User Agreement</a></tr>
		
		<if condition="$vboptions['enablesearches']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td></tr></if>
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.huntleyneighbors.com/forum/memberlist.php">Members List</a></tr>
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="#" onclick="window.open('misc.php?$session[sessionurl]do=buddylist&amp;focus=1','buddylist','statusbar=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=250,height=300'); return false;">$vbphrase[open_buddy_list]</a></td></tr>
				
		<tr><td class="thead"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_control_panel]</a></td></tr>
		<if condition="$show['siglink']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editsignature">$vbphrase[edit_signature]</a></td></tr></if>
		<!--<if condition="$show['avatarlink']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editavatar">$vbphrase[edit_avatar]</a></td></tr></if>-->
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editprofile">$vbphrase[edit_profile]</a></td></tr>
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editoptions">$vbphrase[edit_options]</a></td></tr>
		
		<tr><td class="thead">$vbphrase[miscellaneous]</td></tr>
		<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[private_messages]</a></td></tr></if>
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="subscription.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[subscribed_threads]</a></td></tr>
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[my_profile]</a></td></tr>
		<if condition="$show['wollink']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="online.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[whos_online]</a></td></tr></if>
		
		</table>
	</div>
	<!-- / user cp tools menu -->
	</if>

Place this below (after replacing "yoursite.com" with your website address):

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7)"> 
<!-- Mod links menu--> 
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="stafflinks_menu" style="display:none"> <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"> 
<tr><td class="thead">Mod Links</td></tr> 
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,6)"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/admincp/index.php">Admin CP</a></td></tr></if> 
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7)"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/modcp/index.php">Mod CP</a></td></tr></if> 
</table>
 </div> 
<!-- / staff links menu --> 
</if>

With this mods can only see the modCP, not the adminCP. I have put the Mod rules in mine, but left it out for you. Have fun.

Edit: do not mind the colors above. The automerge function of this site is causing this.

So, here is my new post:

I'd like to add a link to the staff links menu which shows moderators unread posts in their forums. How can I do that?

[Targowski]

Thanks a lot, was just going to look for this on Google - haha.

[ngaiox]

Thanks! Many thanks!

[J0iN]

Really needed a drop down to show more links so it would fit on the page many thanks

[Alfa1]

In the 'User CP' drop down on the navbar here at vb.org, the top link is 'user control panel'. It is both dark blue, has bold white font and it is linked. What is the 'td class' value for this?
i.e. I currently have

<td class="vbmenu_option">

which makes it a grey drop down link with normal blue font, instead of a dark blue linked one.

[tunistunis]

If i wanted to add multiple different Drop down boxes (i.e 2 separate boxs) How would I go about this?
