--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

I love this addon/plugin, but I'm having big problems with this on custom themes.. This one is using buttons as navbar, and I have no idea what code to add in order to make the drop down menu to work on the new theme.

how can one make it function on 3.7.1?

[one_sad_episode]

Yeah, I just upgraded to 3.7.1 and it's toast! We need an update! Best mod ever!

[AdmiralSpock]

Using on 3.7... editing the links do not work, did anyone ever find a solution to this? Thanks!

[ETDC]

^ Need this too - any alternatives?

[ETDC]

I need to either update or uninstall this as it's corrupted in 3.7.2.

I'd rather uninstall in the meantine though - can anyone help?

I've just tried it in 3.7.2 Patch 1 and it seems to be working fine (as far as I can tell from the two links I've added).

Edit: sorry - doesn't seem to let me edit a link once it's created. So if I want to change a link I have to delete it (that works ok) and recreate with the changes.

This works great for me on 3.7.2 thanks!!!

[Kiint]

Working fine on 3.7.2 PL1, can add/edit/delete as normal no problems at all.

Is there a way to Include vBulletin Phrases such as $vbphrase[phrasex] to be able to Manage Various Languages??

How can that be done??

I tried to introduce $vbphrase[phrasex] in the Title Field and No Result, appears "$vbphrase[phrasex]" and not the vBulletin Phrase "phrasex".

(Works in vB373 but when a Stand-Alone Link is Created and then Edited the First Link on the Dropdown Menu is Changes to the Edition of the Stand-Alone Link).

My Best Regards.
