Author: Andrew Harmor
Version: 2.0.2
File Edits: 0
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

custom_droplinks
custom_droplinks_cat
custom_singlelinks

This is the mod you should use or update depending on if you have it installed or not.

All the links should be in the table. You'll have to edit "custom_droplinks" table and look for "catid".

Well, all that is to do (as far as i know) is that you have to insert GLOBAL?s in your Code.

And by the Way - can you please use the Update Feature next Time you Update your Hacks ?

I believe you have to edit vBCMPS in your ACP and add a couple variables.

I sent updates when I upgraded to 2.0.0 but not when I upgraded to 2.0.1. The reason is because not that many people downloaded 2.0.0 when I made the upgrade to 2.0.1

Right... im happy so far but if anything else go's wrong im leaving (said the vicar to the hoar)... right... well all my links went poof, gonna have to start again... still no info on image paths... not all would know and if you do post a full url/path your menu stops... (haven't tried a /home/public_blah blah blah yet) - menu from portal front page is gone as is the IPB arcade... global vars were in place and still are in place... still battling on with those links... should be ok...in time, cheers
