Miscellaneous Hacks - Ultimate Navbar for vB3.7

Ultimate Navbar for vB3.7
Version 1.0.5
(By Boofo and Pam)

What does this product do?
This product will add an ultimate greeting to the navbar set to each member's local time. You can also use the real first name of the member instead of their username if you have a real name profile field added. This will also add a row of links to the top of the navbar. You can also set the 'Remember Me' login checkbox to automatically checked.

Below is a list of times and lines for each greeting.

12:00 am - 1:59 am - Up late, aren't we, Pam?
2:00 am - 3:59 am - Having trouble sleeping, Pam?
4:00 am - 5:29 am - Still can't sleep, Pam?
5:39 am - 6:59 am - Aren't you the early bird, Pam?
7:00 am - 11:59 am - Good Morning, Pam.
12:00 pm - 12:59 pm - Enjoying your lunch break, Pam?
1: 00 pm - 4:59 pm - Good Afternoon, Pam.
5:00 pm - 5:59 pm - What's for dinner, Pam?
6:00 pm - 9:59 pm - Good Evening, Pam.
10:00 pm - 11:59 pm - Shouldn't you be going to bed soon, Pam?

These following are added to run at the specified time only for one minute.

6:15 pm = Got milk, Pam?
11:00 pm = It's 11 o'clock, do you know where your children are, Pam?

Is there any reason why a url that is not within my forum will not work if on a drop down menu?

For example, I made a drop down menu for admins and placed a link for vb.org there. When I click on it it will not work.

I doubt this is this hack's fault. I just hope someone can shed some light.

[Boofo]

Without see what you added, it is hard to say.

Look at the admin menu on the top nav. Scroll down to the bottom, you'll see the various links that do not work. Obviously admincp will, it's the others I'm worried about.

This is the code I used for that menu:

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="adminaccess_menu" style="display:none">
	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
	<tr><td class="thead" align="$stylevar[left]">Site Related</td></tr>

	<tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="http://www.hiphopeulogy.com/forum/admincp/index.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">AdminCP</a></td></tr>

 
            <td class="thead">Miscellaneous</td>
        </tr>
	<tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="http://www.vbulletin.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">vBulletin.com</a></td></tr>
	<tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="http://www.vbulletin.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">vBulletin.org</a></td></tr>
	<tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="http://www.allwheelcoding.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">AllWheelCoding.com</a></td></tr>
</table>
</div>

I see no admin menu as a guest. Bit I would take the phpmyadmin link and the others out like that when posting the code here or you are asking for problems.

[dancue]

good point. I've edited it. Do you see anything wrong with the code?

[Boofo]

Not so far.

[dancue]

I'll pm you admin access so you can see what I'm talking about.
