There is always a demand for increased navigation from your vB Board. This modification has been tested on 3.6.x, 3.7.x and 3.8.x

Hardcoding a menu is the best way to add the increased functionaility, without adding server load and queries. This template modificiation explains how to add additional simple navbars to your website. By utilising exisitng vB code from within the Navbar template, the menu will appear on all pages, including in add-ons such as vBa and Photoplog and Photopost.


A working expample can be found at Midlands Weather Forum

The basis of the navigation bar (refered to as the 'Main Code') is as follows:

Code:
<!-- nav2 buttons bar by Optrex-->
 
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:0px">
<tr align="center">
 
 
<!--compile your links within this space, using the section types below -->
 
 
</tr>
</table>
</div>
 
<!-- / nav2 buttons bar by Optrex-->
To create a link visible to all usergroups add this code to replace the green section of the main code (above):
Code:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.yoururlhere.com" >Title of your link</a></td>
To create a link visible only to members add this code to replace the green section of the main code (above):
Code:
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.yoururlhere.com" >Title of your link</a></td>
</if>
Placement is recommended above your existing navbar, due to the "drop down" lists.

Find the following line in your navbar template and place your compiled code above it.
Code:
<!-- nav buttons bar -->
<div align="center">

GREAT! Took only minutes!

Now what do I do to make some of these (but not all) open in a new window?

To open link in new window, add bold text:

Code:
<a href="http://www.yoururlhere.com" target="_blank" >Title of your link</a>

To make the link a different colour add the bold text, where cccccc is the html colour you want to use.

Code:
<a href="http://www.yoururlhere.com"> <font color="cccccc"> Title of your link</a> </font>
