I started to change all the names then I decided to pick on Brian's brain and asked over there.

If you can find any information on making new modules that have editable settings in the AdminCP through VBulletin Advanced, please share the wealth as I have been tryin to figure out how to do that for along time now and have found no information on if it is possible at all.

The only way I can think to do it would be to actually edit Database tables maybe and PHP core files which I will not release a public modification that requires that mess due to the fact of tryin to support it.

Excellent work Dankness! This is exactly what I was looking for I have it installed and it's running great. I'd rather this write over the default, but that's my $0.02.

BTW, about creating new modules. It talks about it in the vBa manual, have you taken a look at that? I hardly understand any of it (not a PHP coder by nature), but it might help you out.

It's a pain in the ass to find, so here's the direct link:

Thanks for the link, I never did see that before. Learned they had a nice array of forumpermissions already but it did not have any information on actually creating modules that have there own settings. I am starting to wonder if this is possible or not.

I'd post over in the vBa CMPS v3.0 forums and ask them:

If anyone would know, they would

Hey Dankness!

When the text for a link is too long for a line (automatically moving the remainder text to the next line), the result is there is a significantly decreased amount of space between the items:

Attachment 72067

How would I add a little bit more of a space between entries? Basically, if you take a look at the attachment, the "yes" part is what I would like to see for the "no" part

any news on trying to get this to co-exist with the existing navigation module?

[sweeps78]

Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand why some insist on this being able to co-exist with the existing nav module... This module is intended to take place of the existing module. It acts the same exact way as the existing, except that it has a nice collapsible tree feature added to it. If you install it and don't like it, then just remove it and reinstall the original, tons easier than asking the coder to make it co-exist I don't mean this as a flame or anything, I'm just a little confused and thought there maybe a reason that I'm missing why people are asking this.

At any rate, I'd highly recommend anyone check out this module! There are a couple of small bugs, and Dankness is already addressing them.
