Major Additions - Menu Control

Hey all,

Since this is the beta, and most of the information is included in the manual, I won't go into too much detail.

This is Menu Control 1.3 for vBulletin version 3.6.0 RC 3.

There may be a few bugs, and so it is important you must tell me about any you find!

Version 1.4 Menu Control is in production still and will be available for vBulletin 3.5 AND 3.6 very soon!

When Version 1.4 is released, I will use this thread to update it in.

In this version, I have updated some of the admin option descriptions for easier editing, but other than that it is the same as the 3.5 version.

Enjoy!

It will work on 3.6.1 as long as you revert the templates properly. However, I found a fairly simple way of creating a third navbar in the end by looking at the navbar template.

Just look at whats inbetween the <!-- nav buttons bar --> comments - its fairly easy to work out. The results can be seen by following my sig.

Optrex's Hack is great. Thanks man, I will be using that now.

I use embedded gallery and the menu breaks my gallery. I had to edit the navbar for my gallery to work properly by placing this before each link:
$vboptions[bburl]/

Here is a sample link from the your template:

<tr align="center"><if condition="$vboptions[menu_status]">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a target="{$vboptions['menu_window']}" href="http://{$vboptions['menu_link_one']}">

How would I add this prefix to each link? I have tried adding it but get a template error... Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Sean

If I can't modify this to work, is there anyway to NOT show the menu on my gallery?

Thanks,

Sean

instead of using index.php, for instance as a link address in menu control, use www.yoururl.com/index.php

that surely does just the same as manually adding [bburl] in the template.

Will there be an update so that you can add a second navbar? I've filled all nine spaces ;-(

Nice hack. Can't seem to get it working with VBA though.

Place it in the header template

Tried that, but I can't get it to display directly under the present nav bar. it displays above the welcome box and there is a space in between the welcome box and the menu.

Any word.....I would really appreciate a second menu control...
