User Links in Navbar for vB 4
Version 1.0.1
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product will add a drop-down menu with user links in the forum navbar. You can add up to 5 additional links, as well as link names and mouseover text, via the settings. It will check to see if you have Reputation enabled. If you do not, it will not show the reputation in the menu. It will also check to see if you have the "Threads Started by User in Postbit and Profile for vB 4" product installed on your site. If you do not, the thread count will not show in the menu.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release for vB 4
Version 1.0.1 --Fixed issue with Friends link not working with vBSEO installed.

Installation Overview:
---------------------------
1 Product XML (2 Plugins, 58 Phrases, 1 Template, 17 Settings and 1 Style Variable)

Installation Instructions:
---------------------------
1. Add the following code to the additional.css template:

li.menuname {
	padding: 0.2em 0.5em;
	text-decoration: none;
	text-align: {vb:stylevar left};
	color: {vb:stylevar blockhead_link_color};
}

2. Go to your Admin CP
Scroll down to 'Plugin System'
Click 'Manage Products'
Click 'Add/Import Product'
Click the 'Browse' button, and locate the product-boofo_user_links.xml file on your computer

3. Go to your Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> 'User Links in Navbar' and set the following options:
User Links Forum Menu Display Order: Choose the location you want the User Links menu to show up in the Forum Tab. (Default is 3, Navbar after Private Messages)
User Links Blogs Menu Display Order: Choose the location you want the User Links menu to show up in the Blogs Tab. (Default is 2, Blogs after My Blog)
Additional Link (1-5) URL: Enter the URL of the link you want set as Additional Link (1-5).
Additional Link (1-5) Name: Enter the name of the Additional Link (1-5) that you want to show up in the menu.
Additional Link (1-5) Title Text: Enter the title text of Additional Link (1-5) you want to show on mouseover.

------------------------------------------------------

Done!
Enjoy!

NOTE: There is also an Advanced Version (paid) available that allows each user to add up to 5 links of their choosing (instead of the Admin having to do it for everyone), as well as a Search menu that allows you to add settings for how many days you want to search for (2 days, 7, days, 12 days, 180 days, etc.) that is only available through my site. If anyone is interested, contact me via PM for details.

if ($mark_as_installed != 'clicked')
{
	$you_get = 'squat';
}
else
{
	$you_get = 'support';
}

Yes I do but I used the default link with vBSEO disabled.

Can you give me the product name of the vBSEO mod? I will do a conditional that will change the link if vBSEO is installed and enabled. Even disabled, aren't there some link changes in the htaccess file?

Screen size is 14 inch and additional.css is added

There should be some spacing on the left of the the menu subtitles if the code is installed in the additional.css..

We know it works for those with vBSEO installed. That wasn't the problem. But it is fixed now so you can download the update.

Some of the User Links go above the navbar

Just tested this and your correct.. but the defaul style is good .
it's a custom style i see this one..

downloaded here @ vb.org called blackend
using vb4.1.2 and the style is also for vb4.1.2

other wise Seems this will be a mch used mod

[Boofo]

Just edit the additonal.css code you added and change the color: {vb:stylevar blockhead_link_color}, if you want something other than white. As far as it being above the navbar, the custom skin must be causing that. Since I only use the default skin, that is what I coded it in. It looks like they use a lot of padding in that skin, which would account for it, I suppose.
