Any ideas how to fix the above? thanks good extension

1. This is how vBulletin menus function without modification. This plugin does not change that
2. Not sure what you mean. When I click on a Parent Tab, it goes to the page that tab is linked to.

I am running Beta 4.

One of the things I do when judging whether or not I'm going to try a mod is to read the last page of comments.

According to the last few comments there seems to still be some bugs to work out on this mod.

Is anyone else using the mod without any issues?

I am. vB 4.2.0 PL1.

Honestly, I think the majority of issues people are having stem from either (1) confusion about how the new navigation manager works, or (2) overly customized styles that have not yet been updated to 4.2.0.

I installed navmanager_enhancements_1-0-0_Beta_4 after upgrading to vB 4.2 and now I get this at the top of the page when I click on my shop link or any other non-vb created links:

,navmanager_enhancements.css

To see this in action, go to http://dmsinteractiveweb.com/forum.php and click on the shop link.

What is the fix for this?

BTW: I do think this is an excellent mod. As with any beta versions, I do expect that some flaws may occur.

Hi,

How to add a Dropdown-Menu to a Tab?
Maybe I just misunderstand.
I don't see that option

[RedPoint]

I wanna show more links in Menu, but this links must show just for unlogged users.
Use vB 4.2 PL2 - all usergroups on "User is not a member of ..." are checked but the Links has show all users, logged also unlogged.

Ca work here with $show Array for unlogged user? How is the $show Array for unlogged user?

[dmm2020]

Several of my own concerns. If this is vbulletin default functionality, then the navigation system has gone a bit downhill.

In most navigation designs, when one hovers over the parent, the child menu opens up. That is a common standard and I am shocked reading that vBulletin apparently does not use that. At the minimum an option should be added to allow hovering to function to open menus.

The lower menu bar below the tabs should display the second level menu items there like the forum links do. I can care less about the forum submenu items if I am on my shop page.

Anyway to fix this?

I can't figure out how to make drop down menus with this. Admittedly I haven't read through the whole thread.

Anyone got a quick 1.2.3 guide?

Create an account at the website below and go to link http://www.itvault.com/threads/3644-...Bulletin-4.2.0. Then follow the same process for what ever mod you want to build the menus for.

To build a submenu system regard it like this:

Tabs = top level menu
Menu = second and lower menu items that open when Tab is clicked on.
Link = where you want to go after clicking on it. I use relative URLs and it works.

If you want a specific menu system displayed after clicking a tab, then a plugin must be created and specified. Following Greystoke's fix for his mod at the link I provided should help you along.

BTW, Greystoke provides superb support on his oscCart and has done a great deal of work for me and I am thrilled with his results. Try to get him to help if you are willing to budget a few $$$ his way.
