--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 see that the template does get added automagically... my problem was permissions and not uploading the latest files (doh) then for some reason the 'link_perms' field wasn't being added to my database and causing errors when i try to enter permission values for links... added that missing field (it is in your installer but dunno why it didn't work) and alls ok now... and working on my vBa CMPS (with added global variables)

Is this something that can be resolved?

Sorry everyone but I've been distracted by another hack I'm working on.
I may have this hack removed until it's been tested better.

ctrl-alt-del,
I don't know how to get around it.

Thanks Andrew.

By the way, the install version says v1.6.0 when installed as opposed to the listed 1.0.0.

Hi!
I really like the mod... if it worked! It's work perfectly with the Default skin. But I'm using another. Why doesn't it work with that one?

Thank you

Hi thank you for your hack, i have installed, it is working succesfully, but i want to open my links in target frames, how can i do that?

[Freakpyromaniac]

I have installed it and it works for 80%.

When i add links in the EXTRA dropdown who are normally in my regular menu and i erase them in the Navbar template then i loose everything. As the extra as some more links (buttons)

And please how can we change extra...


By the way i really love this mod..

Search for "Extras" in phrases. You can change it from there.

is this project continued?
i'd would be fine if a (line) seperator or toppic (no link) could be entered.
i solved the seperator with an < hr > and an # as link, but it doesn't look fine.
better would be e.g. a simple blue box with text as seperator - like "quick links" in here on top (know what i mean)...

a

<div style="width:100%;background-color:darkblue;"><font color=white><b>Bilder</b></font><div>

looks aweful and i can't add enough code, cause it's cut of
