Description:
You can add links or multiple menus to the navbar quickly through a form. Specify which usergroups can see each link via the permissions system.


F.A.Q.
Q: Why aren't the links showing?
A: Edit the link in your Admin CP and check the usergroup permissions

Q: All the links I made from the last version are gone
A: Go into phpmyadmin and select your vbulletin database.
Browse the table named "custom_droplinks". Change all the "catid's" with 0 to 1.
Go into your ACP --> Advanced Navbar Links --> Modify/Delete The links should show up under the first category. You can edit the links from here and select a different category to place it in.

Q: How do I get the links to appear on vBAdvanced?
A: Go into your ACP --> vBa CMPS --> Default Settings
Look for "Portal Output Global Variables". Add the following into the text area.

custom_droplinks
custom_droplinks_cat

--Change Log--
1.0.0 - Initial Release

1.0.1 - took out the code that automatically added HTML to the navbar. I thought having it do it automatically was cool but can be annoying because you can't easily customize the class or placement

2.0.0 - Added the functionality to add multiple drop down menus

2.0.1 - Added missing table prefixes

is there a way to shift the Custoim links part in the navbar around...i'm assuming sinces theres no template edits the location of the links lies within the PHP file?

i can't seem to find anything in the navbar template i could move so that the Custom links is moved to the far left.

What you'll need to do is Open the plugin called "Custom Links" and look for

PHP Code:

$search_text = '$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>';
$vbulletin->templatecache['header'] = str_replace($search_text,
$search_text.fetch_template('customlinks1'),$vbulletin->templatecache['header']); 


(It's at the bottom).
Open your navbar template and look for HTML to place the custom links after. Replace $vbphrase[calendar]</a></td> with the HTML you'd like to use. Save the plugin and it should work.
