This hack is just what I was looking for. I have a question though. Would it be possible to make the each member's favorites list visable to all other members?

Thanks, great hack.

Hey, great hack.

One question: My navbar is disabled and the options appear in my header instead as I'm using this with vBadvanced.

Here are my current menu options:

PHP Code:

<tr>
          <td><a href="http://www.amend-eq2.com/forums/donate.php"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/donate_button.gif" alt="" width="94" height="29" border="0"></a></td> 
          <td><a href="http://www.amend-eq2.com/index.php"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/links_home.gif" alt="" width="94" height="29" border="0"></a></td>
<td><a href="http://www.amend-eq2.com/forums/index.php"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/links_forums.gif" alt="" width="94" height="29" border="0"></a></td>
          <td><a href="http://www.amend-eq2.com/modules/eqdkp/eqdkp-1.3.0/listmembers.php?s="><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/rpp_button.gif" alt="" width="100" height="29" border="0"></a></td>
          <td><a href="http://www.amend-eq2.com/forums/newthread.php?do=Recruit"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/apply_button.gif" alt="" width="94" height="29" border="0"></a></td>
          <td><a href="http://www.amend-eq2.com/forums/memberlist.php"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/links_members.gif" alt="" width="101" height="29" border="0"></a></td>
          <td><a href="http://www.amend-eq2.com/forums/usercp.php"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/links_usercp.gif" alt="" width="100" height="29" border="0"></a></td>
          <td id="navbar_search"><a href="search.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/links_search.gif" alt="" width="101" height="29" border="0"></a><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_search",1); </script></td>
         </tr> 


How hard is it to incorportate your menu into that instead of the navbar and attach it to my image? I was playing with it a lot today, but kept getting the favorites menu header in back of my image.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Also, I get a weird menu when I do put it up there, and if I try to scroll down it, it keeps moving away from me (and I'm not that ugly!)

after all that effort, I couldn't even get the header/navbar to display the link to Favorites... let alone all the other functions.

and I've installed dozens of other hacks without that many headaches...

so, an hour later, I give up.

uninstall.
