Miscellaneous Hacks - Additional side navbar

I am using this post for a test writeup for a modification I am creating on another site.

Despite what category this is in it works with vBulletin 3.0 up to the most recent version of 3.7.
What this does is create another navbar bar as a left column ny inserting $navbar3 in your navbar template.
With very little modifications you can add to, remove or move items around in this additional navbar.

To install the this
1. Download the zipped file.
2. Unzip the file.
3. Import the product-navbar3.xml into your Plugins & Products Manage Plugins.
4. In the footer template find:

PHP Code:

$spacer_close
<!-- /content area table --> 


Below that add;

PHP Code:

<!-- leftside column -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / leftside column --> 


5. In the navbar template find:

PHP Code:

<!-- / PAGENAV POPUP -->
</if> 


Below that add:

PHP Code:

$navbar3 


6. Upload the following file into your forum/images/misc/ directory
navbits_dash.gif
7. go into you Admincp and edit the template navbar3 to include the link you want to include in it.

Using this with CMPS
This xml file will work only on CMPS 3.0.0 it will not work on any of the previous RC versions.

If you would like to include this navbar3 on the front page of your CMPS you can import the following file "cmps_navbar3" through your Admincp--> vBa CMPS--> Download/Upload Module.

In adminCP - vBA CMPS Settings - Main Settings - Portal Output Global Variables type navbar3

You'll need to disable the original Navigation mudule or you're gonna have two of them on the page.

Thanks go out to Leo Brazil for creating the CMPS module.

Can you help me install another 1 on the right side also?

Thank you for the quick responses.

I finally found a solution. I was unable to get the sidebar to display correctly in the threads BUT I moved the sidebar to the FORUMHOME template to only be showed on the forums home page which works out quite nice and displays perfectly. We have decided to use it as a extra area instead of a navigation replacement.

**NOTE** if you decide to do this as well you need to add a </table> tag at the beginning of the footer so it doesn't knock it out of line.

How do you get the navigation to move to the right hand side of the forums instead of the left hand side?

You need to go into your ADMINCP templates and edit the "navbar3" template.

Im trying to install it on my vBadvanced CMPS - and after I installed it, it doesn't go to the edge of the table.

Also, after installing this module, it turned the background to a light blue color instead of a white. How do I change that as well?

Any ideas? I would love to get this working.

How are you putting this into you CMPS frontpage? I have it one one of my sites on the front page but I did not install it like a standard menu because the site it is on is not a standard front page.
