Some people really like the drop down navigation that is found in the Vbulletin 3.0 series, or are looking to add additional drop down navigation to the navbar in Vbulletin 4.0. This plugin and new template will allow you to do that.


First, is to goto the Plugins and Products section, this section is in the left hand column of the admin panel near the bottom. In that section you will need to click the option to "Add New Plugin". Note that the red text from both the plugin and template must be the same. You can name it whatever you want, but they must match.

For the new plugin you will enter the following details.
Hook Location: process_templates_complete
Title: Whatever You Want
Code:
Code:
global $template_hook;
$newTemplate = vB_Template::create('dropdown');
$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= $newTemplate->render();
For step two. You need to make the template that will be used in the navbar. Simply goto the style manager and in choose "Add New Template" from the options. From there, you just need to enter the following.
Title: dropdown
Code:
Code:
<li class="popupmenu">
<a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl navtab" style="background:transparent url({vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/arrow.png) no-repeat {vb:stylevar right} center; padding-right: 15px">Drop Bombs</a>
<ul class="popupbody popuphover">
<li><a style="text-indent: 0px; color:{vb:stylevar navbar_selected_popup_body_a_Color}" href="sublink1.php">SubLink 1</a></li>
<li><a style="color:{vb:stylevar navbar_selected_popup_body_a_Color}" href="sublink2.php">SubLink 2</a></li>
<li><a style="color:{vb:stylevar navbar_selected_popup_body_a_Color}" href="sublink3.php">SubLink 3</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

How can I add the arrow img if my style is:
domain/images/styles/STYLE.NAME/misc/arrow.png because it's not working

<a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl navtab" style="background:transparent url({vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/arrow.png) no-repeat {vb:stylevar right} center; padding-right: 15px">Drop Bombs</a>


How can I add the navtab after cms, something like:
$template_hook['navtab_end'] ....... $template_hook['navtab_after_cms']

and how can I reduce the sublink space:



For the sublink space I found that the padding:
.popupbody li > label {
padding-bottom: 8px;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-top: 8px;
}


should be:

.popupbody li > a,
.popupbody li > label {
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-top: 0;
}


and is defined in additional.css

.popupbody li > a,
.popupbody li > label {
padding:{vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}-2} {vb:stylevar padding};
}

So where could I edit "stylevar padding" ?
It's not in the Style Variable Editor / popupmenu_padding because there I have 2, 0, 0, 0

Great Info, THX!

With the new navigation manager in 4.2 still not allowing you to add drop down menu to parent tabs ; would it be best practice on 4.2.1 to add a tab with the default nav. man. and then just update the corresponding tabs code in forumdisplay.php with your code in step 2? If that makes sense

OR forget nav. man. and just insert your step 2 code after {vb:raw navigation} in navbar template; Like this-

Not within the navbar (parent tabs) only in the submenu?

[S]BETA only?[/S]

Found it; great job updating the manual and tuts vB! :down:

Target Menu-
This is the Menu that will open upon a click on the Tab. Sub menus belonging to the selected tab must be created before one can be assigned to the tab as the main menu.
