Looks like you have added the code

align="center"

to the drop down tables, remove that and all should work fine, its just the ones in the drop down sections, not the main table.

Oops! Sorry, those were put there at the start when I added the top nav bar because (when I removed the extra links you had in there) the drop down was not immediately beneath its associated link. I only had 3 links in the nav bar to start with and 2 were drop downs and both were way off to the left. However it didn’t fix the problem and I should have removed them.

Even now, although it is much better because I have added more links, the drop downs are off to the left of their associated link somewhat. I’m not complaining though, I’m just happy to be able to use you mod.

Thanks for your help, I really do appreciate that you have taken the time to help me with this.

Regards, Mel

[MadKad]

lol I know your not complaining

Its just strange as i am using the same code as you and I am ok, the only thing different was the center code.

Woundering if its something on the vbadvanced page :S

Thanks Alot to anyone who can help me Get this right Everytime i Try to edit the Nav Bar Templates I have Links All over the place lol

DM

[DieselMinded]

Anyone have a second to help me out with this?

[DieselMinded]

I got it , I didnt realize there was a guide in the download

Now to find out how to change the back ground of the drop down..............

[troybtj]

I would like to use this in place of Tabs, but only show links on navbar if they are members of a particular secondary member group.

What code would I wrap around those links, and what would be a good filler?

Last, download says 3.6.4, I'm running 3.6.7/p1, with vBmp3 Player, vbImagehost, and vbDownloads, are there any known problems with those (I thought I saw mp3 in the incompat list post, but I am using the Xeon one).

Basically, it comes down to "How do I construct a if in usergroup, show this dropdown"? i.e. to a guest it would look entirely different (even empty if there isn't a way to do an "else") than to somebody with full privs.

thanks in advance.

Anybody know, how to explain vbadvanced to put prefixes with Forum's URL in links of top nav bar?

After putting the nav2 variable in vBa CMPS-> Default Settings -> Main Options ->Portal Output Global Variables, it gets visible in CMPS page.

BUT as of my forum is in subdirectory/subforum VB "viparmenia.com/vb" and CMPS is on main directory "viparmenia.com" I need that prefix for correct URL appended to every link in topnavbar menu.
