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 can only have one drop down menu but I'm planning on adding multile drop down menus as soon I figure out how to do seperators.

So they both work on the forums though?

It does show on the nav on the forums but not on the main vbadvanced page.. hmm

BTW can you assign multiple drop downs and stack links under them?

Try this

In your CMPS settings under Portal Output Global Variables place:
custom_droplinks
custom_singlelinks

didn't appear to be working properly in 3.6 rc1

Just got the drop down "Extras" on navbar and nothing showing in AdminCP.

Seems fine with RC1 but links wont open in a new window even when checked to.
Any Ideas?
BTW nice addition, Thanks.
Clicks Install.

When you click on the background the link is on it'll open on the same page. I don't know how to get around that.

When I Uploaded The Files Then Added The XML Plugin It Kept Putting A Drop Down List Called 'Extras' In The Nav Bar Which Cant Be Edited Or Removed

[harmor19]

It's supposed to. That's where the links will go.

Really love this one so much so i have nominated it for Mod Of The Month

[blawson12]

Everything works fine for me except the Extra dropdown.
Its not on the Modify/Delete page. :-/

I followed all instructions. Any ideas?

the option to open links in a new window isn't working properly for me, and also sometimes when i click the links i've added it logs me out...but not always...
