Miscellaneous Hacks - User Links in Navbar for vB 4

User Links in Navbar for vB 4
Version 1.0.1
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product will add a drop-down menu with user links in the forum navbar. You can add up to 5 additional links, as well as link names and mouseover text, via the settings. It will check to see if you have Reputation enabled. If you do not, it will not show the reputation in the menu. It will also check to see if you have the "Threads Started by User in Postbit and Profile for vB 4" product installed on your site. If you do not, the thread count will not show in the menu.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release for vB 4
Version 1.0.1 --Fixed issue with Friends link not working with vBSEO installed.

Installation Overview:
---------------------------
1 Product XML (2 Plugins, 58 Phrases, 1 Template, 17 Settings and 1 Style Variable)

Installation Instructions:
---------------------------
1. Add the following code to the additional.css template:

li.menuname {
	padding: 0.2em 0.5em;
	text-decoration: none;
	text-align: {vb:stylevar left};
	color: {vb:stylevar blockhead_link_color};
}

2. Go to your Admin CP
Scroll down to 'Plugin System'
Click 'Manage Products'
Click 'Add/Import Product'
Click the 'Browse' button, and locate the product-boofo_user_links.xml file on your computer

3. Go to your Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> 'User Links in Navbar' and set the following options:
User Links Forum Menu Display Order: Choose the location you want the User Links menu to show up in the Forum Tab. (Default is 3, Navbar after Private Messages)
User Links Blogs Menu Display Order: Choose the location you want the User Links menu to show up in the Blogs Tab. (Default is 2, Blogs after My Blog)
Additional Link (1-5) URL: Enter the URL of the link you want set as Additional Link (1-5).
Additional Link (1-5) Name: Enter the name of the Additional Link (1-5) that you want to show up in the menu.
Additional Link (1-5) Title Text: Enter the title text of Additional Link (1-5) you want to show on mouseover.

4. Go to your Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> StyleVars (In the All Style Options drop-down) -> Boofo -> boofo_userlinks_color
Enter the color code of the font color that you want the User Links menu title to show up in.

NOTE: You will need to do this for all styles.
------------------------------------------------------

Done!
Enjoy!

NOTE: There is also an Advanced Version (paid) available that allows each user to add up to 5 links of their choosing (instead of the Admin having to do it for everyone), as well as a Search menu that allows you to add settings for how many days you want to search for (2 days, 7, days, 12 days, 180 days, etc.) that is only available through my site. If anyone is interested, contact me via PM for details.

if ($mark_as_installed != 'clicked')
{
	$you_get = 'squat';
}
else
{
	$you_get = 'support';
}

That has more to do with the your custom style spacing/padding than anything else.

[Hippy]

TombstoneWarrior like boofo said it's a padding issue ..
go to your style > stylevar and click show only edited or "padding:
and search for a missing "px" as far as the color it's stylevars

try this as well

search your style for .navtabs li.selected .popupbody li a

and see what stylevar is used for background: and color: this will change the font color and the background

if you still have issues pm me..

enjoy

*hey boofo how has your new year been brotha ? I hope good
