Version: 2.0.2
File Edits: 0
Template Edits: 2
Difficulty: Easy


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_singlelinks
custom_droplinks
custom_droplinks_cat

If you install this mod please press the "Install" button.

--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

You will need to upload "cpnav_custom_links.xml" to "includes/xml".

Would a submenu be possible?

You mean a menu inside a menu? It's not possible with this hack.

Are you considering it for a future version?

Maybe after I do multiple drop down menus. For some reason I don't feel like doing anything to this hack since I released it. Maybe some time in the future I'll add more features.

from what i've seen, most users bypass the drop-down links in the nabar..just because they don't see them.
i really like the ease in which this hack works. maybe by adding a second navbar and then using this mod to add links to it??????

Thanks! This works great! And beats the hell out of manually doing it. lol

Can someone please help. It shows the extras link but when opened, no links show on my vbcmp page, works fine on the gallery page and all the forum pages. I have no hacks and it is not a custom skin.

I added this exactly with quotes and it still does not work on the cmps page, but works on all other pages.

NEVERMIND... I figured it out... thank you GREAT hack!!!!!!!!
