Is it possible to have two of these that work independently? One for the top and one for the bottom. Then I could do away with having to edit the navbar template everytime I add a new link

Well it's been on my mind, I was thinking about adding it into the next version, but I didn't know what everyone's thought are on it. So you want to be able to have complete control over both navbar's?

Yes. I took and put this one on a test site and have it at the top of the navbit. The original navbar is on the bottom, Similiar to the Double navigation bar. If I could add another to the bottom to replace the original, there would be no need to edit the navbar template any more. I know that there would be a permissons issue for some of the links but if you ever implement that into it, we could do away with the default nav bar in vb, which is a pain in the butt to have to edit when you have custom styles.

This is a great plugin by the way :smoke:

Cool mod

I had something like this for version 2.2.1 of b, but never released it because it was uber buggy

cool mod

Would be cool to have a permissions option of which usergroups that could view the navbar.

A excellent feature would be to have an option to add a little icon next to each link.
If you can add dropdown menu's in some way then this will replace my second Navbar I already have installed.

Great stuff!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
