Easy Navbar Links

Installation: Less than 3 minutes!

Installation instructions:

Go to your navbar template:

Styles and Templates > Style Manager > vB4 > Navigation Breadcrumb Templates > Navbar:

Find this code near the top:

<ul class="floatcontainer">
{vb:raw template_hook.navbar_start}

Above it add:

<!-- Navbar Links -->
<li class="non-selected"><a class="navtab" href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<li class="non-selected"><a class="navtab" href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<li class="non-selected"><a class="navtab" href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<li class="non-selected"><a class="navtab" href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<!-- / Navbar Links -->

Save and Reload.

OR...
You can use it this way and add links to the navbar with new posts and pm's, etc. in the sub-navbar!!

Find in the navbar template:

{vb:raw template_hook.navbar_start}
<vb:if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">

Add below:

<li><a href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<li><a href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<li><a href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<li><a href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>

Change RED highlighted link to your mod or addon URL

Sorry everyone. Been away for a while. Code is updated.

Can you tell me if this allows only logged in user to see the link? I noticed that some default link only show up when logged in so which part allow that. Thank you.

In order for you to regulate who sees the links, you will need this code:

<!-- Navbar Links -->
<vb:if condition="$show['member']">
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="3" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:1px">
<tr align="center">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="LINK HERE">LINK NAME</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="LINK HERE">LINK NAME</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="LINK HERE">LINK NAME</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="LINK HERE">LINK NAME</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="LINK HERE">LINK NAME</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="LINK HERE">LINK NAME</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</vb:if>
<!-- / Navbar Links -->

You notice the "if" conditional. That is what you need to regulate who sees it by way of your usergroup permission settings.

Hi,

thanks for this hack. Now I can make navbars as much as I want. Great ...

How can I fix the background ? I want the same colour as my original navbar.
How can I tell the tabs to open in a new window / a new tab in IE8 ?

Can I see your site so that I can do some troubleshooting and see what I can come up with?

As for your second request, you enter this code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="LINK HERE" target="_blank">LINK NAME</a></td>

Just add the code in red to any of the links to open in a new window.
