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.

Will this work in vB 4.1.11 and if so can the links be made to open in another window as in _blank?

Brilliant add-on and the update makes it even better. Thanks
