[QUOTE=Andreas;2332500]Confirmed. Will be fixed in Beta 4.

Actually I guessed that... But, I figured I would pass along the information anyway. Hopefully, this is helpful and I am not being a pain.
It is a very nice feature.

Thanks Andreas!

All the code really did was fancy up the drop-down menu header: with text and icon. Created it for my daughters board.

Anyway, if you still want it. Let me know and I will see if I can grab the entire code and send it your way.

Are we to import the xml that is inside the Beta_3 zip folder? What is the stand alone product-navmanager_enhancements.xml for?

[Papa Bear]

Yes upload the one in the zip folder..

Thanks.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to turn a tab into a dropdown.

[tbworld]

It's a three step process.

Create a tab.
Create a menu.
Go back and edit your (Tab), modify the select-box "Tab Menu" and point to your menu.
The "Tab Menu" select box is at the bottom of the page. This box is empty when you first create your tab.

Hope that helps

Thank you tbworld!!!

Very well done, Andreas. I just can't understand why those features are not part of the vB 4.2 Core, vB seems to be offering a car w/o tyres...

Nonetheless I get a Database-Error when I want to add a heading oder HTML. I can set it up, but when I click 'Save' I get the following MySQL Error: Unknown column 'exttype' in 'field list'.

Thanks for this mode and for any help in advance.

All the best,
Alex

should take care of that.
