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

I notice that there's only 9 links in this mod. How can I make it 10?

What do you mean by "only 9 links"?

I'm sorry, this is a mistake. I bookmarked wrong page. It's should be "Menu control 1.3".
Please delete my post out of this topic.
Thanks

Works fine for me in 3.6.2 Nice Hack!

I've only 1 problem. How to I add this menu to a button on a different style than the default?

Also is it possible to increase the width of the drop down menu?

On an unrelated note, I want to move the "Site Links" all the way to the left side of the navbar. I saw where you explained a bit to Neo_Angelo on how to do this, but didn't quite understand...can you spell it out?
