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.

Browse the table named "custom_droplinks". Change all the "catid's" with 0 to 1.

--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

Search in the phrases.

[Boinger]

which phrases ?

i have searched in the templates and the product manager code i cant quite find it?

[aggiefan]

I would personally like to use this to manage all the links on my navbar.... not just one "extra" dropdown. the ability to create more than one dropdown would be much nicer.

I just installed this hack. Very nice. Thank you!

Same here...the option to open the link in a new window doesn't work. It just opens the link in the same window.

This is because vBulletin added something to one of their js files.

Is this supposed to auto-edit the navbar template for you? - the install instructions don't indicate this... im using an old version from vB3.5.4 which was working... untill i reverted the template of course... then i thought good... the install instructions don't say about editing the navbar template... i'll upload... still nothing, i'll re add the code below to my navbar...but im sure i saw no drop downs...only the link to start it... maybe i need to refresh something...
