[HowTo] Optimize the Navigation bar

version 0.0.1 for Beta 6 of vBulletin (by Floris (xiphoid) info@vBulletin.nl)

DESCRIPTION: With this template modification you will quickly learn how to modify
and tweak the navigation bar to fit your site. This tweak will optimize the bar to
display the location and the quick links so they are easier to read and better looking.

DISCLAIMER: This template modification is written for vBulletin version 3.0.0 Beta 6.
It will (probably) not work on lower or higher versions. Any of these files may not
be translated and may only be distributed by me through the following web site(s):
http://www.vBulletin.nl/ and http://www.vBulletin.org.uk/ and http://www.vBulletin.org/
http://www.vBulletin.com/ or http://www.vBulletinTemplates.com/

SUPPORT: My time is limited and so is the support. I believe that this template
modification shows in a few simple steps where to look for what and please try to
learn from that, so you can quickly adjust it to your own personal needs.

Installation instructions, icons and screenshot are included in the .zip file.

I love this mod, not only does it make the board look nicer.. In vB3 there's alot more options in the nav bar and it gets reall squashed up on small fixed width forum skins. So it serves a good purpose.

As you can read in the first post, it is written for beta 6, not beta 7. Ofcourse there are some changes.

A new version will be presented with vb gamma/rc1 - which will include more tweaks and performance updates as well a few new cool fun things :P just wait.

Installed!

I made one change to one of the links for the new images to match it with the way beta7 calls images.

Instead of using this:

Code:

<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]">
<img src="$stylevar[imagesfolder]/icons/icon_navbar_02.gif" alt="" border="0" align="top" /></a>

I used this:

Code:

<a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_icon]/icon_navbar_02.gif" alt="" border="0" align="top" /></a>

in the SHOWTHREAD template.

Works prefectly. This is soooo much better than the default navbar.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
