Optionally, you can disallow users to link and unlink accounts from the usercp.

I uploaded modified xml file that enables that (also includes my previous modifications, read what I changed with older version), or you could manually edit your file, or your plugin.

You need to edit plugin: QAS: Handle Switch

At the end of plugin add this line:

PHP Code:

$template_hook['navbar_getnew_menu'] .= $add_string; 


You should have this:

PHP Code:

    $template_hook['navbar_end'] .= $add_string;
    $template_hook['navbar_getnew_menu'] .= $add_string;
} 


Now you should have QAS at What's new.

when i upgraded to 4.1.11 i lost it in the whats new how do i fix this ???thanks in advance

[Alan_SP]

I still don't have 4.1.11, so I couldn't tell. But, you need to find the right hook. You could take a look in template and find out name of the hook now.

It does not show up in my navbar but does on other themes.
Anyone know of a way to add this manually to the navbar?
Thanks.

Quick fix for 4.2.0:

Replace in product XML, this:

$template_hook['navbar_end'] .= $add_string;

with this:

$template_hook['navbar_after_links'] .= $add_string;

How do you change it? I have never dealt with XML. I tried to do it in Excel but it didn't work.

Can someone help with it?

Thanks

Open it in text editor you prefer, it is plain text. Find code you want to edit and just edit it.
