Mini Mods - Dynamic Navbarlinks

Idea by Ragtek
I only added support for dhtml menu and side selection.

What does it do:
Over your vBulletin Optionen you can create links for the navbar (single or dhtml) without changing any template (you can not use phrases).

Installation:
1st upload the php - then simply import the product.
After import 3 new links were created (the example from image no.2).

Requirements:
2 template_hooks:

$template_hook[navbar_start] (in vB 3.8 it's called: navbar_buttons_right)
$template_hook[navbar_end] (in vB 3.8 it's called: navbar_buttons_left)

If one of these HOOKs missing, the links could not be shown.

(Tested on vB4 Beta 3)

Upgrade to version v1.5.
What's new ?
Usergrouppermissions and template_hooks.

You can leave the "old" structure. This will have no effect on the navbar. But ... if you like add to a line or menue:
|2,3,4|navbar_start

This little example means, that the link or menue is only visible for the primary usergroups 2,3 and 4. The Template Hook we're using is "navbar_start".
If you leave the usergroup(s) blank, permission for ALL groups are given.

Some words again:
If you are using a template_hook, the side isn't in use. If you leave the template_hook blank, default hook is "navbar_start" or "navbar_end" depended on the "side". Hook's are in Beta Stage. Normaly, it won't work with CMS.
If you really need it, change the Hook Location from "global_setup_complete" to "global_bootstrap_init_complete". Remember: With this location you can't use phrases.

You will get those message in all versions (Beta 3,4,5 RC1,2,3,4), cause you haven't uploaded the file dynamic_navbar.php

I would like to use this on my CMS and forum.

"If you really need it, change the Hook Location from "global_setup_complete" to "global_bootstrap_init_complete". Remember: With this location you can't use phrases."

I changed the hook to global_bootstrap_init_complete.
Do I need to do anything else?

[Coroner]

Nope. But if you are using phrases, change it to text before.

First of all, thanks for making this cool mod available.

Second, I have a question about adding a DHTML link, or a link with a submenu.
I would like to click the Installed link here, but if there's no dynamic menu, I can't use this :/

This is the content of my Dynamic Navbar settings:

1|0|1|1|misc.php?do=page&template=php_raider|PHP Raider|1|0||
2|1|0|1|DKP|DKP|1|0||   (I also tried 2|1|0|1|DKP|1|0|| and 2|1|0|1|DKP|1|0)
3|0|2|1|misc.php?do=page&template=dkp_icc|Icecrown Citadel|1|0||
4|0|2|2|misc.php?do=page&template=dkp_tier95|Crusader's Coliseum Heroic (Tier 9.5)|1|0||
5|0|2|3|misc.php?do=page&template=dkp_tier9|Crusader's Coliseum (Tier 9)|1|0||

But, there is no DKP button or link and all the 4 actual links just show directly on the navbar.

Am I doing something wrong here?

[Coroner]

Try this here:

1|0|0|1|misc.php?do=page&template=php_raider |PHP Raider|1|0||
2|1|0|1||DKP|1|0||
3|0|2|2|misc.php?do=page&template=dkp_icc|Icecrown Citadel|1|0||
4|0|2|3|misc.php?do=page&template=dkp_tier95|Crusader's Coliseum Heroic (Tier 9.5)|1|0||
5|0|2|4|misc.php?do=page&template=dkp_tier9|Crusader's Coliseum (Tier 9)|1|0||

Yes!!! Thank you! That did the trick, now I am completely in love with this addon

*installed*


Edit:"hmmm, now I added usergroup ID's, seperated by comma's, but even when I'm not logged in I can see the new links
(I put the ID's between the 2 || at the end of the lines)

Edit 2: nvm, I got it to work, but I don't understand why there are 3 0 or 1 positions after the text/phrase.
The explanation to the left says ... | Name | Side | Phrase | usergroup(s), while in fact I had to make it ... | Name | Side | Phrase | here's the extra 0 | usergroup(s), like this:

1|0|0|1|misc.php?do=page&template=php_raider |PHP Raider|1|0|0|2,5,6,7,10,13,15,16,17,20|
2|1|0|1||DKP|1|0|0|2,5,6,7,10,13,15,16,17,20|
3|0|2|2|misc.php?do=page&template=dkp_icc|Icecrown Citadel|1|0||
4|0|2|3|misc.php?do=page&template=dkp_tier95|Crusader's Coliseum Heroic|1|0||
5|0|2|4|misc.php?do=page&template=dkp_tier9|Crusader's Coliseum|1|0||

(Yeah, I have a lot of groups :P)

I'm not complaining, I'm very happy I don't have to edit the navbar template anymore, I'm just curious where the extra 0 comes from

[Coroner]

I'll check it after xmas - ok ?

[Coroner]

Ok, I've checked it today morning and it was working with the permissions.

The "extra 0":
I forgott to rewrite the Admintext:
This 0 is for the target link! 0 means target="_self" and 1 is target="_blank"

[Jaffery]

How I can add link to all category automatically in one such drop down list ?
