Mini Mods - Login Popup - Adds a DHTML popup login form w/ forgotten password & register links

I'm releaseing another mod I made for my boards, if it's useful to anyone else, that's great!

This adds a DHTML popup menu with the login form, a link to the register form and a link to recover a password. This product degrades gracefully: if DHTML popups are not available, or you disable the product, it reverts to the default vB login form in the navbar.



There are admin options to enable/disable the product, and to auto display the popup or not (auto display will only work in vB 3.6.8 +).

The product adds a phrase, two temlpates and the admin options.

Installation
- Import the XML file in the Product Manager.
- One template edit is necessary to hide the default vB login form, instructions are included in the download.

History:
v. 1.0.0 initial release.

Anyone know how to get an small (16x16px) image icon vertically aligned with the text?

Current code used

<if condition="$show[guest]">
<if condition="$vboptions[login_popup_autodisplay]">
    <td class="nav_menu_control">
    <img src="images/key.png" align="Member Login" />&nbsp;
</if>
        <a id="navbar_login" href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[log_in]</a> 
        <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_login"); </script>
<if condition="$vboptions[login_popup_autodisplay]">
    </td>
</if>
</if>

The first one is the icon at 12px x 12px, the 2nd at 16px x 16px.

Notice the text is lowered when an icon is inserted. I've tried various methods, even div tag to no avail.

How do I change the location of where this shows up in the navbar? I could not find the actual template (even navbar) to do this.

Can you explain how you did this more? I don't understand, I"m having the same problem I think.

*edit*

I removed the box on my forums, enabled this hack, modified my navbar to show the login, works perfect.

Can you please explain how you modifiyed the navbar? Dis you do something besides adding the lines of code suggested in the "readme file"? Or can the creator of this mod please chime in. I am having the same problem others are. When clicking on the login the drop down box does appear, as does "register for a free account" and "forgotten password" but the user name and password and login boxes to go with them are not there? I'm not sure how this happened, how to make those fields appear?

Also next to the login link there is a arrow to open the drop down box, for some reason I have 2 arrows there. I'd like to only have one, help please.

I have vb 3.8
