Navbar/Sub Nav behavior

[DevinM]

If there is a hack I havent seen it, in an effort to keep my navbar uncluttered I installed a navbar management hack. While it does as advertised, ive not found anything that helps with sub nav menus.

Basically if I disable microclassified, microsupport, and likely any other navbar feature that uses sub navigation, even if I put a link in a nav drop down via the navbar modification the sub nav menu doesnt appear.

For insance if you click on "Blogs" you see the sub nav options such as "My Blog, Recent Entries....etc". However if you remove that button from your navbar and just create a link to "http://www.mypage.net/blog.php" in a condensed navbar menu in an effort to consolidate buttons you will get the blog page but those sub nav options are gone.

I guess what I am getting at is, is there a way to better manage this? I mean is the only way to use these features having to have tons of buttons in your nav bar because you cant get to the sub nav items unless you leave them there?

There are conditions required to show the sub-menu. I have no idea if the mod you installed deals with those conditions or not. I know the article I wrote in the vB4 articles forum for writing a plugin for a navtab includes having to write a condition to show the sub-menu. So, you can look at that and see what goes on.
