Easy Navbar Links · **Released**: 01-10-2009

Description:
This template edit displays quick and easy links to your navigation.

Installation Time: Less than 1 minute

I got the inspiration from "yoyoyoyo" who made a similar mod for 3.6.8. Although his might work fine for this also, I decided to alter it a bit and cleaned up some code.

I did PM yoyoyoyo to use a variation of his hack but, since he has not been online since September 2008, I can't get a response.

Since yoyoyoyo came up with this type of template edit, all the credit goes to him.

Here is the mod from yoyoyoyo for version 3.6.8:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=160642

Template Edit:

Styles and Templates > Style Manager > Your Style > Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates > Navbar:

In the Navbar find:

Code:

<!-- breadcrumb, login, pm info -->

Above it add:

Code:

<!-- Navbar Links -->
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:1px">
<tr align="center">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Your Title</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Your Title</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Your Title</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Your Title</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Your Title</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Your Title</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<!-- / Navbar Links -->

Then click Save and Reload!

Done!

OPTIONAL:

If you want to show a link only to members use this:

Code:

<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Link Title Goes Here</a></td>
</if>

If you want to show a link only to members, and a different link to guests use this:

Code:

<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Member Link Title Goes Here</a></td>
<else />
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Guest Link Title Goes Here</a></td>
</if>

To make the link open in a new window use this URL instead:

Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com" target="_blank">Link Title Goes Here</a></td>

To make the link(s) only visible to certain usergroups use this:

Code:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X, Y, Z)">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://url.com">Link Title Goes Here</a></td>
</if>

Substitute X, Y, Z with the ID numbers of the groups that you want to allow to see the link. If you only want one usergroup to be able to see the link then use: $bbuserinfo, X and substitute X with the ID number of the group that you want to allow to see the link.

Of Course you want to change the URL's to your site URL and direct the link to any site or feature you want for your site.

Any problems, let me know.

Make sure if you use this template edit to CLICK INSTALL.

Combining Two Mods Together For Perfection!

With this mod which easily makes a second navbar combined with the "Advanced Navbar Links" mod you can have the power to add in drop menus (with icons), full permission control, single links, etc.. all editable from inside the AdminCP without having to edit the navbar menu except to initially install both mods together.

If you look at my attached screen shot you will see I have two navbars. I also have a drop menu for my blogs in the top navbar which I have made where each sub-link has icons!

Instructions For Combining These Two Mods Together:

STEP-1: Install this mod into you navbar template as instructed.

STEP-2: You only need to paste the following combined code: (Note: I used the code from this mod which only shows the second navbar to members. You can use the standard code from this mod if you wish to have guests view the second navbar as well. I gave that code example at the end of this post.)

NOTE: The BLUE code below is from this mod and the RED code below is from the "Advanced Navbar Links" mod.

Code:

<!-- Navbar Links -->
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:1px">
<tr align="center">
$custom_droplinks_cat
$custom_singlelinks
</table>
</div>
<!-- / Navbar Links -->

STEP-3: Now install the Advanced Navbar Links mod.

NOTE: Ignore the step in that mod's instructions where it asks you to paste: $custom_droplinks_cat and $custom_singlelinks. You have already pasted these two codes into your navbar template in Step-2 above.

Step-4: Save your navbar template.

Step-5: You will now have a new AdminCP menu item for the Advanced Navbar Links mod. You can freely add in standalone or drop menu links with and without icons. This mod allows you to freely control all link permissions.

END EFFECT: With these two great mods combined together we now have full control over a second navbar that we can edit from inside the AdminCP without having to edit the navbar template directly each time we wish to add or update links.

FINAL NOTES: The Advanced Navbar Links mod does have one small bug which is discussed in their thread. It is no big deal. I now use this combo mod code and have complete navbar control the way we should have from the start in VB. Also, these hacks work perfect with vBadvanced as your homepage.

IMPORTANT: If you want your second navbar to be viewable to guests use the following code instead:

Code:

<!-- Navbar Links -->
<div align="center">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-top-width:1px">
<tr align="center">
$custom_droplinks_cat
$custom_singlelinks
</table>
</div>
<!-- / Navbar Links -->

See my attached screenshot!

ENJOY!
