And im sure alot other will also. I thought it would be very usefull to people new with vB3.

What does it do?
This mod will add a new pop up menu on your navigation box above. See screen shot for a better look.

Very small mod, but usefull.

Arg am I the only one who can't get this to work?? Mine doesn't work. Here's my code. Can anyone please help me?

<td id="staff" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#staff">Staff</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("staff"); </script></td>

Which is located directly under "<if condition="$show['popups']">".


Then the menu:

        <!-- staff navigation menu -->
        
        <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="newlink_menu" style="display:none">
                <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
                <tr><td class="thead">Navigation</td></tr>
                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$modcpdir/index.php?$session[sessionurl]">Moderator CP</a></td></tr>
                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$admincpdir/index.php?$session[sessionurl]">Admin CP</a></td></tr>
                </table>
        </div>
        <!-- / staff navigation menu -->

Which is located directly above "<!-- / NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->".

So what's wrong here? Thank you for any help .

        <!-- staff navigation menu -->
        
        <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="staff" style="display:none">
                <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
                <tr><td class="thead">Navigation</td></tr>
                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$modcpdir/index.php?$session[sessionurl]">Moderator CP</a></td></tr>
                <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$admincpdir/index.php?$session[sessionurl]">Admin CP</a></td></tr>
                </table>
        </div>
        <!-- / staff navigation menu -->

Use that instead.

The problem you have there is that in the first section of code you posted you have told it to find a menu called 'staff' then in the second section you had called the menu 'newlink_menu' and so confuzed the poor thing.

Okay this still isn't working. Go to my forums and click the "Staff" link on the navbar and you'll see what's happening.

[peterska2]

Move the first bit to above <if condition=$show[popups]> and try that.

[DarkWarriorXII]

I tried it with that code both before and after <if condition=$show[popups]> and it still won't work.

nice work though will have to check it will do it later

[lmongello]

OK...I got this to work, sort of...

The menu works fine in my forums, but for some reason, it totally screws up the layout of the categories in my Photopost home page.

Here is the code I used:

<td id="newlink" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#link">Photos</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("newlink"); </script></td>

::::::::::::::::::::

<!-- / new link menu -->

<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="newlink_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">

<tr><td class="thead">Members' Photos</td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://www.mysite.com/photos/">Photo Gallery</a></td></tr>

<tr><td class="thead">Photo Forums</td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://mysite.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=80">Photo Contests</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="http://mysite.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=19">Photo Forum</a></td></tr>

</table>
</div>
<!-- / new link menu -->

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;

Any clues as to what I did wrong?

Thanks!!!!
