Uses Plugins Template Edits
 
No support by the author.

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.

I moved servers and now this navbar does not show up. I have checked that the code is still there, it is. Any idea what might have happened during the move to stop this working. Thanks

I would like to work on a VB4 version but I am leaving in four weeks to hike the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. I will be gone for about six months. If one is not made by the time I get back I will start working on one.

If you want to place the bar in the header (just on top) you can edit in the xml file (before installing it) and instead of navbar (it appear at the end for 2-3 times) with header.

Then you go and place navbar2 hook in the header as the first line. Works like a charm.

You can place also conditional to show some menu's only to registered users:
<if condition="$show['member']">
The link
</if>

I am looking now to add rel no follow to all links that dont require google to search ( I guess it should be there).

Thank you for the mod

I have trouble finding the code to make some links with different colour .... Any help would be appreciated. I have tried font and span with no success. I guess table class prevents any code for colour so you have text only with regular colour.

I found I need to use class , but I have no clue how to create a new class in CSS with different colors so I can use for links.
