Mini Mods - Dynamic Navbarlinks

Idea by Ragtek
I only added support for dhtml menu and side selection.

What does it do:
Over your vBulletin Optionen you can create links for the navbar (single or dhtml) without changing any template (you can not use phrases).

Installation:
1st upload the php - then simply import the product.
After import 3 new links were created (the example from image no.2).

Requirements:
2 template_hooks:

$template_hook[navbar_start] (in vB 3.8 it's called: navbar_buttons_right)
$template_hook[navbar_end] (in vB 3.8 it's called: navbar_buttons_left)

If one of these HOOKs missing, the links could not be shown.

(Tested on vB4 Beta 3)

[28.11.2009]
Upgrade to version v1.5.
What's new ?
Usergrouppermissions and template_hooks.

You can leave the "old" structure. This will have no effect on the navbar. But ... if you like add to a line or menue:
|2,3,4|navbar_start

This little example means, that the link or menue is only visible for the primary usergroups 2,3 and 4. The Template Hook we're using is "navbar_start".
If you leave the usergroup(s) blank, permission for ALL groups are given.

Some words again:
If you are using a template_hook, the side isn't in use. If you leave the template_hook blank, default hook is "navbar_start" or "navbar_end" depended on the "side". Hook's are in Beta Stage. Normaly, it won't work with CMS.
If you really need it, change the Hook Location from "global_setup_complete" to "global_bootstrap_init_complete". Remember: With this location you can't use phrases.

There you will find an example.

I finished the next version (include usergroup permissions and template hook). It will come in a few days.

Sounds good

감사합니다. Thank you. I added it too.

Hello Coroner,

what makes the new version, especially the possibility of new data template hook?

Do you also have a German Spachpaket?

[Coroner]

With the "template_hook" you can say, that this links (or menu) is especially for the blog, ...., .... or ... or ... or. If you leave it blank, it's always for the forum (navbar_start / navbar_end).

Do you need a translation ?

[The Coon]

At first thank you!

Could you please post an example with usergroup permissions?
I tried this and it does not work:

9|0|7|3|misc.php?do=page&template=Wohnorte|Wohnort e|0|0|2,6

( 2 = Registered Users; 6 = Administrators )

The links are visible (and working) always.

Another Question:
Is it possible, to embed the function (target="_blank") in the future?

THX! Great Addon and nominated!

[Coroner]

This is an extended example of the installed "test" LINK (line one).

For usergroups: 4 & 5

PHP Code:

1|0|0|1|test.php|Test 1|1|0|0|4,5| 


For all usergroups:

PHP Code:

1|0|0|1|test.php|Test 1|1|0|0|| 


or

PHP Code:

1|0|0|1|test.php|Test 1|1|0|0 


embeding (target="_blank"):
Yes, no problem.

Ja, please, perhaps at http://www.vbulletin-germany.org would certainly welcome a lot.

And thanks for the explanation because of the hooks, I have understood it.
