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

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

--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

Can you explain that again?

[rickyreter]

How do do you set it up so all people including guest can see menus...if you go here demo and click one link on test menu,it disappears on navbar menu ?

[harmor19]

To have the menu display to everyone go to ACP --> Advanced Navbar Links --> Add Menu
In the area listing all the usergroups select all the usergroups.

I can see "Gallery" in the "test" menu if you were wondering if guests could see it.

I don't know why the link doesn't show up on PhotoPlog. I don't have it installed at this time.

In ACP --> Advanced Navbar Links I have no field names to fill in just the fields.
