I think everyone has encountered the situation at some point or other where their navbar has got very cluttered and they are faced with either adding yet another navbar, or adding some dropdown menus to group some items.

This tutorial explains how to create an additional drop down menu in your navbar.

Firstly, locate in your navbar template the first instace of
Code:
<if condition="$show['popups']">
and add after it
Code:
<td id="custommenu" class="vbmenu_control">
    <a href="#">Custom Menu</a>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        vbmenu_register("custommenu");
    </script>
</td>
Replace Custom Menu with the title for this menu which you want displayed on your navbar and custommenu with the name that you want to give your link. Note that spaces are not to be used as this will break the connection with the actual menu.

Next, in your navbar template find
Code:
<!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->
and add after it
Code:
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="custommenu_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
        <tr>
            <td class="thead">Custom Menu</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
content row
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
Again replace custommenu with the name given to your link. Make sure that you leave the _menu after it as this identifies it as the menu part of the link. Also replace Custom Menu again with the title that you have used for your link.

The content row should be replaced with the actual menu item that you want to have in your new drop down menu.

Repeat the code
Code:
<tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
content row
</td>
</tr>
as required to add additional links onto your menu.

If you wish to break your menu into sections like the quicklinks use then add
Code:
<tr>
            <td class="thead">Custom Menu</td>
        </tr>
everywhere that you wish to add a new header.

The content added should be in the normal html format for links.



If you wish to add more than one menu, repeat the process for each one, ensuring that you use a different name for each menu otherwise they will not function correctly.


I hope you find this useful.

You never added it to your navbar. You only did the second part of the instructions (the dropdown part).

Yes. But, if you are using a custom style, you may have to change things slightly due to changes between the default style and your custom style.

I've tried to get this work and no luck. It hasn't showed up in the nav bar for me. For a quick instance it showed up next to my log in information, but that disappeared.

Here's my code. As far as I can see for Step 1 I found the correct.

Here's my code broken up with the bolded parts being what I had added in. If the entire code is needed, let me know. I figured this would might be easy to determine if and where I messed up

Code:
<if condition="$show['notifications']">
			<div><span id="notifications"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[your_notifications]:</a> <strong>$notifications_total</strong></span></div>
			<if condition="$show['popups']">
<td id="links" class="vbmenu_control">
    <a href="http://www.pittsburghsportstavern.com/cmps_index.php?pageid=steelersaffiliates">Links</a>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        vbmenu_register("links");
    </script>
</td>

				<script type="text/javascript"> vBmenu.register("notifications"); </script>
			<else />
				<script type="text/javascript"

Code:
<if condition="$show['popups']">
<!-- NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="links_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
        <tr>
            <td class="thead">Links</td>
        </tr>
<tr>
            <td class="thead">Steelers Links</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
<a href="http://www.pittsburghsportstavern.com/cmps_index.php?pageid=steelersaffiliates">Steelers Affiates</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
            <td class="vbmenu_option" title="nohilite">
<a href="http://www.pittsburghsportstavern.com/cmps_index.php?pageid=steelersnewslinks">Steelers News Sites</a>

</td>
</tr>
<tr>

</tr>
<tr>

</div>

	<!-- community link menu -->

You are adding the code into your navbar where the Notifications are supposed to go. You need to add it amongst the other navbar links.

Ah... Thank you. I had been wondering why I wasn't putting any code where the Nav Buttons are. I guess for 3.8 it would be the 2nd instance of
Code:
<if condition=$show['popups']">
One mroe quick question... I don't want the "nohilite" feature. Do I just delete >>title="nohilite"<<?

Try it and see. (Sorry, I've always left that there, so I don't know what happens if you remove it.)

Will this work with
PHP Code:
<if>
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5, 6, 7)"> 
I want to make sure the menu is only shown to those usergroups. It works right now with a direct link but now i need more menus underneath it.

I don't know why you have that extra <if>. This should work:
PHP Code:
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5, 6, 7)">  
stuff only to be seen by members of usergorup 5,6,7
</if>
