Additional navbar with dropdowns · **Released**: 12-25-2007

After upgrading and supporting my 3.0.0 and 3.5.3 version of this hack, I have decided it was time to step into the plugin world to make this easier for people to use.

Despite what category this is in it works with vBulletin 3.0 up to the most recent version of 3.8.

What this does is create another navbar with drop down menus by typing $navbar2 in any of your templates. It is just like the navbar that comes with VB.

I put a lot of description tags in the navbar2 template that gets installed to help explain what everything does. Once you understand what is going on here you can removed these. With very little modifications you can add to, remove or move items around in this additional navbar.

Upgrade
To upgrade you will want to reimport this XML file and edit your options accordingly.

1.02

Tweak it a bit to get the border on the top of the navbar. There was not boarder on the top of the navbar in the previous version. It was not really noticeable unless you have the navbar directly below the header area.

1.01

removed the plugin with the Hook "parse_templates" because it was not need.
Added plugin with the Hook ?global_start?, this will work with, PhotoPlog, vBAdvanced, Arcade. This will alleviate having to manually add code in the php files as was required in the past.

1.00

Initial release.

To install the this
1. Download the zipped file.

2. Unzip the file.

3. Import the product-navbar2.xml into your Plugins & Products? Manage Plugins.

4. Next you will have to decide where you want the navbar2 to be displayed. I have included a few options below.

5A. Under current (original) Navigation bar:
Find:

Code:

<!-- / breadcrumb, login, pm info -->

Below that place:

Code:

$navbar2

5B. On top of forums tables:
Find:

Code:

<!-- / PAGENAV POPUP -->
</if>

Below that place:

Code:

$navbar2

5C. Top of current navbar:
Find:

Code:

<br />
<!-- breadcrumb, login, pm info -->

Above that add:

Code:

$navbar2

5D. Under your header:
Find:

Code:

<br />
<!-- breadcrumb, login, pm info -->

Below that add:

Code:

$navbar2

5E. Under VB navbar:
Find:

Code:

<!-- / nav buttons bar -->

Below that add:

Code:

$navbar2

Note:
This should now work with vBAdvance CMPS, Arcade, PhotoPlog with no other modifications. Many thanks to Mike-D for his help with this.

Compare using Internet Explorer and Firefox.

I am using Firefox and they are working on your site just fine.

Yes installed enabled and this conflict with the MOD Advanced Navbar Link. So I had to quickly uninstall it.

I will have to try this on a test board and see where you bug is before I can go live with your mod...

I need help to prevent your mod from conflicting with the Advanced Navbar mod which has the ability to make navbar menus and drop menus using a admincp panel.

Advanced Navbar Links:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=120517

Can I please get you to take a look at the mod and help me install yours so I can have both running.

When I install your mod the drop menus from the other mod stop working.

I needed to bump this because my original request for help was overlooked or ignored.

yotsume · #**200** 09-05-2009, 08:49 PM

What we need is a backend admincp way to make a top row navbar and alter the bottom row default navbar together from inside the admincp and make stand alone menus and drop menus freely.

All someone has to do is look at the above mod link I posted and update it to allow for two instances and we are all home free!

Sorry I am wishing out loud here for my miracle mod! hehehe

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
