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.
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

<font color="Navy">I installed but do not see any links under 'Modify/Delete'. I was hoping to hide the 'Calendar' or other navbar links using this tool instead of modifying the navbar code for each style I have available. Is this something I should be able to do using this tool?
I installed but do not see any links under 'Modify/Delete'.
The whole interface for this mod shows up only under its own menu item in your AdminCP labeled as: "Advanced Navbar Links". You control all your custom menu items from there.

There is no way to use this mod to hide default vb links. What you need to do is first edit your navbar template and remove the links from there. Then use this mode to make what ever links you wish to with full permission control! This should be included as standard in VB already years ago!
I use this mod to make public menus then a whole different set of menu items once a member logs in. To date it is the best mod for navbar links there is! It does need a major update to take it to the next level!
I used this mod to make the links to the public pages of the above website which is mainly controlled by vBadvanced. Once you login all the public links are hidden and a completely different set of menu items are shown. This is a website for doctors only so I can not show the members only side of the site. (HIPPA Laws!)
I removed all standard vb navbar links so that I could have total control of the navbar which is important to the sites that I design. I design vb and vba based sites which look more like websites then just a forum so the feel is a true CMS interface.
Different Styles:
Now as for your different styles. You would have to remove the standard links in your navbar templetes and install this mods code for each. Once you do that you will be very happy because your level of navbar menu control is almost unlimited! (This mod needs a way to make a second line of navbar links above the breadcrumbs. A future development I hope!)
I found a way to combine the "Easy Navbar Links" template mod with this mod. What this does is instead of adding the links created by this mod into the standard vb navbar the links will be added to a second navbar above! LESS LINK CLUTTER!
